Excerpt from A Practical Language Book This book is an attempt to present a plan of language work that brings into use the literature study, observations, and experiences of pupils. The work begins with selections from literature that in subject matter and form of expression appeal to children. They are adapted to the season of the opening of schools, and afford an easy correlation of literature, nature study, and language. In observation lessons the thought and feeling find expression in the literature studies, - the language grows out of the literature. This feature is maintained throughout the work. In the formal language the type sentences are taken from literature previously studied, and have an intelligent use and meaning in the expression of thought. The plan contemplates three years work, and pupils who leave school at its completion will have a knowledge of the principles that govern the construction of sentences and their arrangement in well-written composition. The treatment is inductive. Special stress is put on oral reproductions and discussions, followed in most cases by written compositions. Letter writing is presented early in the work and is continued to the close. Models of generally accepted forms are presented, and material is suggested to give practice in their use. In definitions, simplicity and intelligibility to the child have been the aim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
