BIBLIOGRAPHY
1. The Teaching of English
A bibliography of some thirty pages consisting of all the important
books, pamphlets, and magazine articles published before 1903, that
treat of the different phases of English work in elementary and
secondary schools is appended to Carpenter, Baker, and Scott’s “The
Teaching of English”, and will be of great assistance to those who
desire material on any part of the work since the references are
classified under such heads as, rhetoric and composition, literature,
grammar, spelling, college entrance requirements, etc. The volumes of
the educational periodicals such as “Education”, “Educational Review”,
“School Review”, etc., that have appeared since 1903, also contain many
articles on English work. The following are the most important books on
the teaching of English in the high school:

secondary schools, with excellent bibliographies.
