Excerpt from Words Spoken and Written, Vol. 2: A Course in Modern English, Book II Lessons in Language, Literature, and Composition This book has been carefully planned to meet the needs of intermediate grades in public and private schools. In its preparation the authors have employed similar methods, and, in part, have used the same material as in the first book of "Modern English," which has met with such pronounced favor. Instead of relying upon technical grammar to mold the daily speech of children, emphasis is laid upon practice in speaking, reading, interpreting, and writing under the guidance of the teacher. The authors believe in the supreme importance of interest in successful language study. They have, therefore, spared no pains in determining upon the topics to be presented and in subjecting their choice to repeated tests in the schoolroom. The lessons are based upon a cycle of topics, beginning with home life, leading out through school associations and familiar sights and sounds in nature, and culminating in the larger and remoter thought of country and society. Pictures, stories, poems, exercises, suggested readings, have all been chosen in accordance with this plan, to the end that children may view language less as an unrelated branch of study than as a unifying medium for all school studies and out-of-school experiences.
