REFERENCES ON THE TEACHING OF RHETORIC AND
COMPOSITION
BY THE EDITOR
PREFATORY NOTE
The editor published a list of references like the follow-

some important titles were omitted. The list now submit-

as many more. A few of the titles that have been added
relate to composition teaching in France and Germany.
These references are the advance guard of a general
bibliography of rhetoric. They are published now, and in
their present form, for the use of a teachers' class in the
University. It is hoped that the complete bibliography-
if the contradiction in terms may be allowed-will be
issued in the course of the next few months.
It is believed that the body of literature indicated be-

present century. It is commended to the attention of those

This pamphlet may be ordered of Sheehan & Co., booksellers,
Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the price of fifteen cents, net. The preced-

II. Student Slang, by Willard C. Gore: III. Two Problems in Com-
position-Teaching, by Joseph V. Denney.

scholar is to familiarize himself with the literature of his
chosen field. The stimulative and suggestive character of
much of this literature, however, cannot fail to react pow-
erfully and beneficially upon the teacher's practice.
