Présentation de l'éditeur
For the Teacher) As long as people write there will be occasional new books to help them do it. We see no need of apologizing for adding one more book upon a subject so thoroughly treated; a live subject constantly demands fresh, new books to keep it alive. There would be cant and a deadening sameness in the teaching of English composition if we did not from time to tune have presented to us the new reactions of teachers who have taught with their minds open and with a view to aiding others in their task. We believe we have something to offer, and we offer it. Every teacher has discovered that pupils, as a rule, do not like Englih composition. They look upon it as a meaningless and perfunctory kind of drudgery which must be endured in order to get through the subject; but they see no pleasure, and little good in it. If we are frank with ourselves, some of us will have to admit that in our student days we, too, looked upon the writing of compositions with disfavor. In the case of some of us, the reason for our attitude is very evident: we were told to bring in compositions; we were not shown what they are nor how to write them. The task was next to impossible.
