It is both a science and an art. As a science its object is to give a knowledge of the principles of sentence construction as an art it seeks to give skill in interpreting and in constructing sentences. This two-fold nature and end of the subject must be kept con¬ stantly before the mind of the pupil. The first may be acquired by the study of text-book statements of the principles the second must be sought through intelligent practice in the analysis of sentences, and through unceasing endeavor to express his own thoughts in the best sentence form.
