By Edwin C. Woolley
THIS new book for first-year classes in secondary schools offers a course in the main things to know in order to write English correctly. There are numerous books upon constructive composition, but this is the first book that has sought primarily to secure formal accuracy in those matters that are most seriously criticised by the world at large as defects in school training in English. The chapters treat: manuscript arrangement, grammatical correctness, punctuation, spelling, and conventional usage in letter writing, and there are abundant exercises for practice.
Cloth. 334 pages. Price, $1.12.
