Excerpt from Sentence Improvement: A Practice Book in Applied Grammar

This study involves not only a knowledge of sen tence elements and grammatical structure, but also a sense of their comparative values, together with practice in criticizing and improving the pupil's own work.

Grammar treated in this way leads naturally to a consideration of the principles of composition work. In actual speech and writing the two are so closely related as to be inseparable. It follows that the work in this book involves many of the simpler rhetorical principles. The book, therefore, fills \a natural place between the early language and grammar work of the pupil and his later work in rhetoric and composition in the secondary school.

Excerpt from Sentence Improvement: A Practice Book in Applied Grammar

In the preparation of this book, the purpose of the writer has been to furnish the pupil with material and guidance that would render it necessary for him to make a thoughtful, practical application of the principles of grammar in oral and written expression.

Grammar is the subject that has, perhaps, given rise to more discussion than any other in the school curriculum. There are those who say that the study of technical grammar is practically worthless, and there are those, among them college authorities, superintendents of schools, and leading business men, who are demanding a better knowledge of grammar on the part of our boys and girls. The writer's experience convinced him long ago that both parties to this discussion about the value, or need, of grammar are right. Technical grammar without ability to make a practical application of it, is well nigh valueless; at the same time, our boys and girls do need a better knowledge of grammar, but of applied grammar.
