Sinopsis
Excerpt from Effective Expression: A Textbook on Composition and Rhetoric for the Four Years of High School and the First Year of College
We trust we have made the book self-explanatory. We have emphasized getting ready to write in an introductory chapter, for it is the best approach to the subject; we have treated the fundamental prin ciples and the rhetorical qualities, vitally, for too often they have been but empty words; we have shown the philosophy of the paragraph and the topic-sentence, together with the relation of the topic-sentence to the method of development, for the paragraph is the unit of the composition, and mastery of it goes far toward mastery of the whole subject. We have corrected the popular conception that rhetoric is flowery writing by showing that it is the art of effective writing; we have shown that diction, grammar, the use of figures of speech, and the study of poetry are essential for all who would so handle pure, crude facts, the raw material, as to make the finished product effective. We have shown that oral composition is best treated along with written composition and that such a method both saves time and increases efficiency. The chapter on The Finished Product reveals the importance of bringing the knowledge of literature to bear upon our writing, and shows how and what to read until one has formed his own taste and needs less guidance.

Excerpt from Effective Expression: A Textbook on Composition and Rhetoric for the Four Years of High School and the First Year of College
As long as people write there will be occasional new books to help them do it. We see no need of apologizing for adding one more book upon a subject so thoroughly treated; a live subject constantly demands fresh, new books to keep it alive. There would be cant and a deadening sameness in the teaching of English composition if we did not from time to tune have presented to us the new reactions of teachers who have taught with their minds open and with a view to aiding others in their task. We believe we have something to offer, and we offer it.
Every teacher has discovered that pupils, as a rule, do not like English composition. They look upon it as a meaningless and perfunctory kind of drudgery which must be endured in order to get through the subject; but they see no pleasure, and little good in it. If we are frank with ourselves, some of us will have to admit that in our student days we, too, looked upon the writing of compositions with disfavor. In the case of some of us, the reason for our attitude is very evident: we were told to bring in compositions; we were not shown what they are nor how to write them. The task was next to impossible.
