Edwin Herbert Lewis epub A First Book in Writing English (Classic Reprint)

It sometimes happens that the study of the principles of composition is left until the overcrowded last year of the high school, under the plea that facts ought to precede generalizations. Is it not better to have the pupil begin two or three years earlier than this to frame simple generalizations for his own future guidance? The first year student daily awakes to new experiences and problems. He demands rules and reasons :H ow shall he choose theme topics? How much shall he put into a sentence? Why is electrocution in bad usage? If the principle is asked for, shoiild it not be given as much of it as can be digested? f. When such a course is followed, time enough is jleft in the high school for composition to become a habit. The complex process wherein invention, as it proceeds, is rectified by criticism, involves many delicate reflexes. The formulated principle, invaluable to the student in revising, in turn grows to be an unconscious factor in every succeeding act of composition.
