Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles of Composition This is the only portion of the present volume which is addressed to teachers, for the aim has been consciously pursued in every other part of the book to write it for the student and to adjust it to his grade and temper of mind. As the general chapter headings indicate, it has seemed wisest to cling to the old classification of material presented in scores of effective books already in print. At the same time the attempt has been made to keep in mind two matters of importance which have not always been recognized in the past. The first of these is the recognition of the vital difference between reproductive statement of fact and interpretative writing. The tendency in many classrooms during the last decade has been to emphasize the claims of definite, concrete, homely material, and to disparage any attempts at writing on subject matter of an abstract type. There seems to be little question that the simple and concrete should be dealt with by the elementary student; but the conviction has been growing in many quarters, and some of these far disconnected, that the inclination of the high school and undergraduate mind to consider fundamentals should be turned to account, and that interpretative writing with reference to the larger concepts of life should be encouraged in rational form under guidance. This can be done only when a progressive scheme of subject matter is arranged, and work is provided in connection with subjects of increasing difficulty. The student who is eligible for courses in ethics, aesthetics, history, political economy, sociology, and literature is ill provided for if he is not helped to express himself about these matters.
