Phil,

below is a type-out of the table of contents from A FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH
GRAMMAR by Margaret M. Bryant, D.C. Heath and Co.: Boston, 1945.  What I
find particularly endearing is that she deals with errors only in the
last two little sections.

I have a couple of good examples of the scope and sequence of
traditional grammar classrooms.  I would like to collect more of these. 
Does anyone out  there have any?  I have one from a high school teacher
from the 50's and one from a Catholic school dating back to 1909.  I
would like to collect them and put together a summary and a review so it
is possible to say accurately what the traditional grammars were so it
can be shown clearly what the problems were and what the differences
will be from hear out.
