Teachers' outlines for studies in English, based on the requirements for admission to college

by Gilbert Sykes Blakely

(Spring, 1907)

Composition (1) should contain not less than sixty lines of the examination book, composition (2) not less than thirty lines, and both compositions should be correct in spelling, punctuation, grammar, paragraphing and general arrangement.

1 Write a composition on the Minor Poems of Milton that you have read, discussing their chief characteristics and giving reasons for the pleasure you derive from them. In writing the composition consider, for example, the subjects chosen, the method of treatment, the style and the meter.

2 Describe in as full detail as you can the scene from Scott's Ivanhoe that you remember most vividly.
