Overview

Excerpt from Composition Planning The author of this manual is strongly of the belief that it is the business of text-books only to suggest; of teachers, to direct and guide; and of pupils, to work. No attempt has been made in the following pages to say it all The most that has been attempted is to be wisely suggestive, more work being left for the teacher to do than has been done by the author, and much more being left for the pupil than has been delegated to the teacher. The illustrative material has, therefore, been kept at a minimum, it being much better for the pupil to seek and find his own illustra tions for principles he has studied than to have them served up for him. Particularly has it been the intention to throw him on his own responsibility in the last four or five chapters of the book. Here the knowledge gleaned from the earlier chapters should stand him in such stead, if he has done the work faithfully, as to enable him to proceed in planning the various types of composition with but little suggestion and guidance. His progress always, everywhere, means the mastery of elementary details to such a degree that he can proceed with fewer and fewer of such details as he pursues any subject.
