Synopsis

Excerpt from Progressive Exercises in English Composition

The pupil may be permitted to write simply or familiarly at first but the teacher should in all cases require that the sentence be the unassisted production of the pupil himself. Although a decided preference is expressed for a written exercise, yet several of the early lessons may be read from the book, at the discretion of the teacher. For some suggestions on the mechanical execution of written exercises, and the mode of correcting them, the teacher is referred to the close of the v61ume.

A fter th principle of each lesson is stated, (and, when necessary, explained,) a MoDSL is presented, which is designed to ow the pupil how the exercise is to be performed. The Examples for Pragticx furnish him with the materials with which he is expected to perform his exercise. The teacher will find no difficulty in supplying the deficiency, if the Examples are not sufficiently numerous in some cases, or in omitting what may be superfluous in others. I f, on the first inspection, any of the Lessons appear too difficult, the Author respectfully requests the tests of trial and experience befinre they are condemned. They have been performed, and the Modelt of some of those apparently the most difficult, were written by pupils in the school of which he has the charge.
