Présentation de l'éditeur
At the regular meeting of the Ontario Teachers A ssociation, held at Niagara-on-the-L ake in August 1890, after an address and a discussion on Technical Grammar in Public Schools the following resolution was adopted almost unanimously. Resolved :T hat, in the opinion of this A ssociation, Technical Grammar should be omitted from the Public School Curriculum except so far as it can be taught incidentally in a thorough course of Practical Language Training. The recognized necessity of more attention to practical language training, and the desire for more definite aims therein was further shown by the appointment of Wm. Houston, M. A., and myself to prepare a syllabus of Language Lessons for the public schools of Ontario. The effort to comply with that request soon made it evident that a bare outline syllabus would not meet the requirements of those teachers who feel most need of help in this lepartment of their work. A brief presentation of how language power is developed, followed by a series of suggestions on matter and method in language training, grew out of this idea. Then, many of the suggestions, purposely made brief, seemed to need exemplification, and lessons notes at once began to bud and branch out from these. Some flowershave also appeared in the form of extracts from the best authors carefully selected for memorization. The little plant has been growing for nearly two years.
