Opis: The Elements of Grammar and Composition (Classic Reprint) - Webster W. F.

Excerpt from The Elements of Grammar and Composition

English is a unit of study. Including, as it does, not only what is commonly called "language" in the lower grades, but spelling, reading, composition, and grammar, it is by far the most important subject in our common schools. All parts of this great whole are very closely bound together; and the study of any one of these branches is the study of all. An understanding of grammar helps toward correct expression; a knowledge of the difficulties of composition lays a foundation for the true appreciation of beautiful literature; and literature itself is the best instructor in the art of graceful and powerful composition.

The term language, in its usual interpretation, means composition and grammar. Of these two, composition, or the art of expression, is the more important subject for study in elementary education. Every child that completes a common-school education should be able to express correctly, either by writing or by word of mouth, the thoughts he has to exchange with his fellows. In social communication with friends, in the world of business, and in the performance of his duty as a responsible citizen of this nation, the man with the ability to say what he thinks is the master of him who has it not.
