Excerpt from The Progressive Composition Lessons, Vol. 1: Third and Fourth Years In the lower grades teachers have been confused by the wealth of material, both in composition and in lan guage work, that is presented in the text-books. In the upper grades teachers have experienced great difficulty in getting models of true literary excellence which appeal to the pupils. In order to assist in these two particulars The Progressive Composition Lessons have been pre pared. Each lesson has grown out of classroom work covering a number of years; and no lesson has been included that has not stood the test of actual classroom experience. The aim has been to give the child power to express him self readily and clearly. The method is essentially inductive. Each week's work consists of three lessons. In general these lessons are divided into: I. The preparatory oral work, which must be thorough; II. The written composition; III. The cor rection exercise, which affords the teacher and the pupils opportunity to correct expression. The illustrative compositions in the Appendix of the teachers' edition have been taken directly from pupils' work. Grateful acknowledgments are made to the teachers of Public School No. 184, Manhattan, for the intelligent and helpful assistance rendered by them in the development of the lessons.
