The course in grammar is divided into two parts, a minimum course including those principles, a knowledge of which is essential in correcting the common errors of everyday speech and writing; and a maximum course, including the usual grammatical constructions and inflections heretofore taught in elementary schools. The nomenclature agrees with that to be found in the report of the Joint Committee on Grammatical Nomenclature appointed by the National Education Association. The book is published either with or without the maximum The orderly introduction of one fact at a time, many sentences for drill, and constant review assist in giving the pupils a complete mastery of the subject, and make a large number independent of the teacher's help. Language drills teach the children to use their knowledge of grammar in correcting errors in writing and speaking. A review of language forms assists in establishing habits of correct usage. The methods suggested to help the pupil correct his work not only relieve the teacher of labor that can be profitably avoided, but become potent factors in securing accuracy, since they bring forcibly to the pupil's attention particular points to which he must devote more study. A variety of illustrative material is presented, including subject-matter from history, geography, and suitable course. literature, as well as from the pupil's own life experiences.
