A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book aims to proTide more definite directions for a secondary school coarse in composition and rhetoric than are given in the texts now in use. Primarily, the book has been prepared for the pupil, by the use of theme assignments and illustrations that are related to his experience. Secondarily, it has been prepared for the teacher as a means of economizing his time in the preparation of definite assignments and in the correction of themes. The material has been gathered gradually from classroom work. It has been tested by repeated use in normal school and high school classes; and the theme assignments have been selected because they bring good results. The book has three divisions. Part One contains about fifty definite assignments for themes with simple discussions of rhetorical theory. Each assignment is accompanied by a list of suggested subjects and an example that really illustrates what the theme should be. Part Two contains the more advanced discussion of special forms of discourse. Part Three, dealing with grammar, rhetoric, and diction, is intended to supplement Parts One and Two, and should be taught in connection with them. Exercises are given in Part One to aid the teacher in assigning work in Part Three in an order suited to the needs of the students. The careful organization of the material in Part Three will greatly reduce the drudgery of correcting themes. The Key to Rules in Grammar and Diction, beginning on page 364, shows that the rules are so grouped as to be memorized easily. By placing a rule number on the margin of the theme, the teacher can refer the student to a discussion of his error.
