Sinopsis
Excerpt from English Composition, Vol. 1
Third, expression cannot be compelled; it must be coaxed. Only under favorable conditions can we expect that reaction of intellect and emotion which renders possible a full expres sion of self. One of the most important of these favorable conditions is that the pupil shall write something he wishes to write, for an audience that wishes to hear it. There fore the subjects suggested are those in which high-school pupils are interested and about which they wish to write. It is hoped that the teacher will so conduct the work that every theme will be read aloud to the class. The criticism of a theme so read should, as far as possible, be compli mentary, pointing out and emphasizing that which the pupil has done well; and destructive criticism should, in general, be impersonal and directed toward a single definite point. Only by this means may we avoid personal embarrassment to the pupil, give him confidence in himself, and assure him of a sympathetic audience all of which conditions are essential to the effective teaching of composition.

Excerpt from English Composition, Vol. 1
The widespread favor with which the Brooks and Hubbard Composition-Rhetoric has been received would seem to argue against the need for a new book. This book, however, has been prepared to meet the requirements of many high schools that prefer a smaller book for the first two years' work.
The aim of the book is to enable every pupil to express in writing freely, clearly, and forcibly whatever he may find within himself worthy of expression. To this end, exercises are provided for training the pupil how to think as a condition of progress in writing. Special attention, therefore, is given to the thought side of composition, and overemphasis of form, which restricts freedom in thinking, is avoided.
The three fundamental principles considered in the preparation of the Brooks and Hubbard Composition-Rhetoric are equally applicable to this book, namely: -
First, improvement in the performance of an act is attained through repetition of that act with conscious effort to avoid the imperfections of the former attempt. Therefore the writing of a new theme in which the pupil attempts to avoid the errors that occurred in his former theme is of much greater educational value than the copying of the old theme for the purpose of correcting the errors in it. To copy the old theme is to correct a result, to write a new theme correctly is to improve a process; and it is this improvement of process which is the real aim of the teaching of composition.
