"English Grammar and Composition for Public Schools" by G. H. Armstrong is an educational textbook written in the early 20th century. This work primarily focuses on the principles of English grammar and composition, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide for teaching in public schools, particularly in Ontario. It discusses various aspects of grammar systematically, covering topics from basic sentence structure to more complex grammatical rules, while also emphasizing the importance of composition skills. The opening of the book establishes its intention to serve as a practical and inductive resource for educators and students alike. Armstrong outlines his pedagogical approach, which employs examples to illustrate grammatical concepts, thus making the subject matter accessible and engaging. He critiques traditional exercises that he believes contribute to confusion and stagnation in learning, advocating instead for a more hands-on, intuitive style of teaching composition that fosters independent thought and expression among pupils. The beginning segments introduce foundational elements of grammar such as sentences and parts of speech, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the English language structure.
