Summer School Professional Course, Grammar Grade.—First
Term. 10:30; C. H. 11. Credit, 2 hours. Miss Andrews.

A comprehensive survey of the indispensable features of English grammar, in
which language is considered chiefly from its functional side, or service in thinking
and expression. It places special emphasis upon sentence structure, analysis, practical
sentence improvements, and educated usage. Typical professional topics: Misconceptions
concerning the nature and purpose of grammar; its origin in the character
of our thinking; its relation to composition and literature; grammar as a
changing record of usage rather than unchanging law of usage; governing principles
in the teaching of grammar.

Texts: Modern English, Book II, Emerson and Bender. Sentences and Thinking,
by Forrester—Steadman. A Syllabus by the Instructor of the Course.

English 145. The Teaching of Composition in the Junior High
School.—Both Terms. 3:30; L. B. 1. Credit, 2 hours. Miss
Andrews.

This course organizes language study upon a social basis as it immediately affects
the success of children as participants in and contributors to school life, the home
circle, community activities, and the welfare of one's country. Foundation problems
growing out of these realms furnish incentives and materials for expression
and appeal to both group spirit and individual striving for skill in English. Typical
professional topics: Definite and reasonable aims in composition; coöperation of
other departments in securing correct usage; scales of measurement in composition;
proper training and conditions of work for teachers of composition.

English 37. The Teaching of Literature in the High School.—Both
Terms. 12:25; L. B. 3. Credit, one session-hour. Miss Andrews.

This course makes each selection studied a concrete and suggestive example, through
demonstration of desirable subject matter and class procedure in high school literature.
It aims to be equally suggestive to teachers of the junior high school. It
employs the group-plan of reading, and provides full and typical group-units or
cycles for lower and upper years. It modernizes high school literature without
losing the value of older and standard literature.
