    1906 copyrighted text. Scott is credited as Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Michigan. Southworth is credited as Superintendent of Schools, Somerville, Mass. Intended for use with 3rd – 6th grades. A collection of lessons designed to create a liking for good literature by presenting worthy selections to be read, studied, copied, and learned, to help children talk and write about the things they see, and to make children more and more observing through the use of illustrations for descriptive and imaginative writing. Additionally, book one aims to make correct expression habitual, secure the use of correct written forms by giving models for imitation, and to acquaint students with the elementary principals of grammar. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 238 page text.
