nd, who was coming from New York. The street at Payne Avenue and East 30th St. had just been flushed; and, when Mrs. Sheldon endeavored to turn out toward the car tracks to avoid hitting Goldrick's wagon, which was just turning into Payne Avenue, the car skidded and side-swiped the wagon. One wheel of the machine and the mud guard were torn loose, while glass from the shattered wind-shield rained over Mrs. Sheldon as she strove desperately to twist the wheel. Goldrick was hurled from his seat, landing in the back of the wagon, which was piled high with cases of milk bottles. The horses were thrown from their feet by the shock. Mrs. Sheldon and Goldrick were extricated from the wreckage and conveyed to the office of Dr. W. A. Masters, Payne Avenue and East 32d St., where their injuries were dressed. Later they were taken to their homes. III. Suggested Time Schedule _Monday_--Dictation of Model and Study of Last Week's Errors. _Tuesday_--Notes and Queries. _Wednesday_--Oral Composition--e.g., Telephoning. _Thursday_--Written Composition. _Friday_--Public Speaking. IV. Notes, Queries, and Exercises 1. How many paragraphs are there in the report in Section II? 2. What is the subject of each? 3. The object? 4. Point out the "Four W's." 5. State why each capital and each mark of punctuation in the model is used. 6. Tell whether each sentence is simple, complex, or compound. 7. Find in the model an adverbial phrase, an adverb, a noun used adverbially, a noun in apposition, a clause modifying a verb, a participle modifying the subject of a verb, a non-restrictive clause, and a clause used as an adjective. 8. Point out four words or phrases that give color to the story. 9. Write an appropriate heading for the model. V. Oral Composition Prepare a report of some accident which you have yourself seen or which has been described to you by an eye-witness. Be sure to get into the report in the proper order the "Four W's," the cause, and the result. Note that a good story usually consists of three parts: 1. The Previous Situation. 2. What Happened = The Climax. 3. The Result = The Denouement. These are all in the model, but 2 is put first because it is most important. Observe the order of the model. Each member of the class will have a chance to make his report
