Excerpt from Composition in the High School, the First and Second Years
Narration is perhaps the most natural form of discourse, and the one most suited to the interests 'and capacities of young people. It ought, therefore, to serve as an introduction to the course in composition in both the first and the second years. Oral narra tion dealing with material at hand, in literature lessons, or in every-day events, has already been mentioned. The transition from the spoken to the written theme is easily effected. Brief ly related incidents and anecdotes will furnish opportunity for dealing with some of the most vital principles of composition. There need be no lack of material, since it can be constantly supplied through the agencies of reading, observation, memory, and imagination. Almost any girl, looking out of a window at home, or any boy, loitering up the street on an errand, will note some incident that will furnish forth the body and sinews of a theme. An Accident on the Street, Trading Horses.
