Book Description
Excerpt from Rand-McNally Primary Grammar and Composition Words are the common means of communication between men. Grammar teaches us how to make use of words. We acquire unconsciously the ability to speak our native tongue, but for an intelligent and sure use of language we must study the principles that underlie correct expression. These principles are to be found, in the forms of good literature, where the best current usage is exemplified. Hence, the study of grammar is a search for such principles and a practical application of them in the expression of thought, oral and written. The aim of this work is to present the fundamental laws of our language in a reasonable and attractive light. The book is concise in statement; both explanation of principle and statement of rule are made in simple, untechnical words so far as possible. Where further explanation is deemed necessary, the teacher will find it easy to add to the text, while, it is believed, sufficient discussion has been given without befogging the pupil with words. As one difficulty at a time is enough for the pupil, the purpose has been to present for his study one subject at a time, and to hold him to that subject till it is mastered. Thus he is constantly required to illustrate what he has learned by writing sentences, which serve to fix in his memory each form or principle. The method chosen, so far as practicable, is inductive. The student is led to observe the facts as they occur, and to draw his conclusions. No arbitrary classification has been observed; instead each topic is treated where the purposes of practical teaching demand.

Excerpt from Rand-McNally Primary Grammar and Composition The forms of language found in good literature reveal and illustrate the principles and rules that should guide the speaker or writer in the art of expression. Hence the study of grammar is a search for such principles and rules, and a practical application of the same, in the expression of thought, oral or written. To become masters of their own language pupils must do more than the mere imitation-work required of a class in Language Lesson. If they are ever to use lan guage intelligently, they must be led to understand the laws that underlie correct expression, because these are the criteria by Which to judge correctness.

Book Description
Both a historical recovery and a critical rethinking of the functions and practices of textbooks, Archives of Instruction: Nineteenth-Century Rhetorics, Readers, and Composition Books in the United States argues for an alternative understanding of our rhetorical traditions. The authors describe how the pervasive influence of nineteenth-century literacy textbooks demonstrate the early emergence of substantive instruction in reading and writing. Tracing the histories of widespread educational practices, the authors treat the textbooks as an important means of cultural formation that restores a sense of their distinguished and unique contributions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, few people in the United States had access to significant school education or to the materials of instruction. By century’s end, education was a mass—though not universal—experience, and literacy textbooks were ubiquitous artifacts, used both in home and in school by a growing number of learners from diverse backgrounds. Many of the books have been forgotten, their contributions slighted or dismissed, or they are remembered through a haze of nostalgia as tokens of an idyllic form of schooling. Archives of Instruction suggests strategies for re-reading the texts and details the watersheds in the genre, providing a new perspective on the material conditions of schooling, book publication, and emerging practices of literacy instruction. The volume includes a substantial bibliography of primary and secondary works related to literacy instruction at all levels of education in the United States during the nineteenth century.
