Excerpt from High School English: Composition-Rhetoric-Literature The literature selections have been edited with the design not only of supplying necessary information but also of inducing the student to do his own thinking. There is at present far too much so-called appreciation and far too little real thought expended upon literature. In the prepara tion of the Exercises and of the Notes and Questions the authors have constantly borne in mind this supreme aim of education - the development of the ability to think. Teachers are therefore urged to require the students to write all the Exercises and to answer all the Questions.

Excerpt from Composition in the High School, the First and Second Years This bulletin confesses to an extremely restricted and definite aim. It is designed to be of some service, however slight, to those teachers in the State of Wisconsin, who through lack of experience, or the pressure of too numerous duties, have felt the need of some specific suggestions as to the matter and the method to be used in conducting the work in English composition, during the first and second high school years. What is said here applies particularly to the work in the smaller high schools, since it is in such schools that the instructors in English are laboring under the greatest difficulties. The suggestions given have been worked out in several classes, under the actual conditions that exist in the average high school; they are, therefore, the product, not of theorizing, but of an effort to make of first and second-year composition something both agreeable and profitable. If it appears that undue emphasis has been given to the idea of rendering the course agreeable, this condition has its origin in a firm belief that it is only by consulting the everyday interests of the pupils, and creating in the class the notion that self-expression is a natural and pleasant thing, that the best results can be obtained. While stress may, on occasion, be very properly laid on the ultimate advantages of composition for the practical purposes of life, it cannot be expected that these remote considerations will appeal to the average freshman or sophomore; the surer way of progress is to win the student's sympathy and interest in the work for its own sake.
