Excerpt from The School, Vol. 7: A Magazine Devoted to Elementary and Secondary Education

If composition is to be made really interesting, we must convince our pupils that it is a vitally important matter to speak and write well, and we must assign them such themes as appeal to children of their age and environment. In a word, we must socialize composition, and make it appeal to pupils as a very real and very important part of the preparation for life work. Many a child will work far more diligently at a foreign language than at his English, because he feels that in French, German, or Latin he is acquiring a new and useful tool, whereas for nine boys out of ten skill in the use of his mother tongue is of far greater importance.
