A New Angle to the Teaching of English Composition When Matthew Arnold, that great teacher of boys, was asked why he continually revised his courses, he replied: "Because I want my boys to drink at a fountain, not a stagnant pool." To you as educators this question of taking the drudgery out of rhetoric and composition and introducing dynamics in its place, is one of no little importance. But when you come to appreciate the color given this subject in "EFFECTIVE EXPRESSION" you will find many guide posts pointing to a solution. This book is the expansion, the development, of our definition of composition; "Composition is the process whereby the raw material of thoughts and emotions is made into the finished product of effective expression." After fifteen years of experience with high school pupils, and with teachers in a leading summer school, the author, Dr, Charles E. Rhodes, Principal, Bennett High School, Buffalo, New York, was convinced that the conception of composition given in our definition does remove prejudices, does give a new point of view, and does give a new incentive to the pupil which makes him look upon composition writing as a challenge to all his power of brain and heart. The idea of producing something does appeal to all wide-awake pupils. The plan works. The theory has been thoroughly tested in abundant practice. If composition is presented as this book explains it, most of the difficulties of the subject vanish, and in their place comes the joy of accomplishment. As Dr. Spaeth of Princeton University says: "There is a freshness in the treatment of old material, and a richness of new material in illustration of old principles that make the book interesting reading to any lover of good English. Every page shows the experienced teacher, who has not devised a priori definitions and made schemes and systems to satisfy his sense of logic, but constantly keeps in mind the needs of minds struggling with actual problems of composition. To those whose business it is to instruct others in the art of writing, as well as to those who wish to make their own writing and speaking more effective, we can cordially recommend EFFECTIVE EXPRESSION."
