Excerpt from The Elementary Course in English: A Syllabus With Graded Lists and References It is hoped that classes in normal schools, teachers in institutes, teachers and principals in individual schools, and parents in club meetings may find the syllabus convenient, both as a basis of discussion and as a bibliography.
