Excerpt from The Teaching of Normal Grammar: Prepared for the Use of Student-Teachers of Teaching in the San Francisco State Normal Training Schools
The goal of grammar teaching is not to teach the pupil to speak or write language correctly. These abilities are only acquired by habit. Children learn to speak correctly without any grammatical knowledge, provided they hear the correct forms.
There are two stages in learning to use language correctly: first, to have the correct form as a copy; and secondly, to acquire this form as a reflex habit. This copy may be obtained, as young children obtain it, by imita tion; or it may be obtained by grammatical study. Grammar, then, at best, is a poor substitute for a correct copy given by imitation. This copy obtained either by imitati'on or by grammatical analysis, it remains in both cases to work this form into a reflex habit by the method of repetition.
