Uses exercises in oral composition. Chapters include: sentences and their parts, rhetorical forms of sentences, words, diction, style, figurative language, meter, characteristics of poetry, metaphrasing, composition (including narration, description, history, biography), imaginative composition, argumentative composition, letter writing, versification, criticism, correction of compositions, and list of subject for composition.
