Excerpt from English Composition as a Social Problem English composition has been one of the least interesting subjects taught in the schools. The ordinary student has found the task of linguis tic expression a dull exercise. Largely because he was provided with no initial enthusiasm for composing, speaking and writing in the class room have been formal matters unrelated to his personal need to express or communicate his feelings and ideas. The pupil has been forced to observe the rules and niceties of the English language without ever being aware in any vital way of their uses to him. The result is that ex pression through language has been the most formal and artificial of all the school studies. In spite of years of training, our students fail to become easy, clear, and forceful writers. We are told that the Americans who can speak and write with efi'ective fluency have learned the art outside of classrooms.
