Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elementary Composition
A word should be said about the subjects for composition. The object has been to make them as varied and suggestive as possible. But no per son can assign subjects for composition so happily as the teacher of a class. She is acquainted with the manifold interests of the little community of which she has charge. Their lives are crowded with incidents; their minds have earnest thoughts; their hearts quiver with deep feeling. The real teacher keeps close to the hearts of her children; for there are rich mines of living themes. The subjects in the book are good, and will suggest methods of using material; but the best composi tions come from the pulsing lives of the children.
