Excerpt from The Essentials of Language and Grammar

If, as Bacon says, A wise questioning is the half-way towards knowledge, a wise questioner is the best guide to that destination. Any text-book will fail of its highest ser vice unless the wise questioning of the teacher, his tactful adaptation of its material to the condition of his pupils, and his sympathetic fidelity to the methods and spirit of the book, give it life and make it a moving influence.

I have sought to write a lesson book, illustrating, explain ing, and defining the grammatical facts about words, and the fundamental principles upon which the construction of an English sentence is based to add thereto such analyses of a few selections from good American authors, as shall give to pupils some insight into the fulness of beauty and meaning contained in what we term good literature, and shall suggest to teachers methods that may be used in the study of other selections; and to outline some plans for training the pupils to write English easily, correctly, and gracefully.
