EXPOSITION OF METHOD

I. Purpose of the Exposition: Plan of the Book.

The Lessons contained in Foundation English are
frankly, exercises, meant for the pupils only. In this
part of the book, therefore, are put such explanations
as may be necessary to aid the teacher in the proper
development of the somewhat bald Lessons.

The book is divided into four parts, as follows:-

PART I. Expression of Ideas in the Short Theme.

PART II. Expression of Ideas in Formal Correspondence.

PART III. Expression of Ideas in the Long Theme

and the Familiar Letter.

A. A Brief Review of Grammar.

B. Rules for Punctuation and Capitalization.

C. Rules for Spelling.

D. Themes Written by Pupils.

Subjects for Short Themes.

Symbols for Marking Themes.

It will be noted that instead of taking up a subject
by chapters, the work is divided into specific Lessons,
so that a teacher may, if she chooses, follow the book
exactly as it is laid out. For the benefit, however, of
the teacher who prefers to make her own division of
work, summaries are placed at the end of each Part,
and she may choose the exercises for practice and com-
position as she would from any rhetoric.
