F'RICE, 15 CENTS TORONTO : THE EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHING 1898. CO. t Entered according to 4ct of fh» P, v PREFACE To THE Boys and Girls : — If you would excel in Composition you must practice. Excellence comes only b/ careful, honest effort. From the beginning, remember that "Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle." Do each exercise . s if it were to be handed down the ages ; and let each sentence praise the little Composition "Apprentice" who aspires to be a " Master'' in the art. Criticize your own work mercilessly. Never be satisfied with "good enough." Keep correctness, usefulness and beauty in view. Be 'borough. Do not be afraid of the effort it will cost to become well informed on any subject. The result will be, not only excellent compositions, but also a thorough- ness of character which will be shown in every under- taking of your life. These general ideas we supplement with the following ijcfinite rules : — 1. Let your work be neatness itself. 2. P'orm each letter with' the greatest care. 3. Watch carefully the spelling of each word. 4. Choose words that will express the idea correctly. 5. At first, make short sentences. 6. Let each sentence contain one idea definitely ex- pr ssed. 7. Express the idea grammatically. 8. Begin each sentence with a capital letter. 9. End each sentence with a period. 10. Use the interrogation mark (?), the exclamation mark (!), and the quotation marks ("— ") correctly. 11. Do not use such words as "and," "but," "so," "then," too often. 12. Learn to use the comma (,) properly. PREFACE. 2. 3. 5- In writing a composition we suggest the following ?.s a guide : ~ I. Secure information on the subject. Decide on the points you shall discuss. Select the statements you wish to make on each point. Arrange these statements logically. This will for n a paragraph ; the paragraphs will form the com- position. Criticize your work — the correctness of the state- ments—the choice of words, striking out those that are faulty and substituting others -the spell- ing—the arrangement of the words in the sen- tences— the grammar - the arrangement of the thoughts in the paragraph. This is the mechan- ical part and it is absolutely necessary. Here the eye tests. 6. Then let the ear test. Read your composition aloud, and see that the arrangement of the sounds is agreeable. Allow nothing harsh to pass. 7. If possible lay the composition aside. Then criticize again and copy your work neatly, putting the title • at the centre of the top, and doubly underlining it, leaving a margin, and writing your name in the upper right-hand corner of the page. It will then be ready to be presented to the public. -^ JUNIOR LANGUAGE LESSONS. to Exercise i. /.
