BARNES HARLAN H. BALLARD S. PROCTOR THAYER NEW YORK--CINCINNATI--CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY 1888, by A.S. BARNES & CO. * * * * * [Illustration: PREFACE] The authors of this book believe,-- 1st.--_That the Word Method is the most natural and practicable,_ because words are representatives of objects, actions, etc., while letters, or sounds, in the abstract, convey no meaning to the pupil, and are devoid of interest. 2d.--_That words of ordinary length are as easily learned as short ones, provided they are familiar to the pupil_. No teacher will doubt the statement that a pupil will learn the word "mamma'" as easily as "says" or "eyes." 3d.--_That frequent "Reviews" are essential to the rapid and thorough advancement of pupils_. By this means the words imperfectly learned are again brought to their attention and thoroughly memorized. That these "Reviews" ought to take up the new words in a different order and arrangement, in order to test the ability of the pupil to recognize them in any situation. That as soon as the vocabulary is large enough they should be written in the form of a new exercise, as on pp. 36, 44, 52, 60, and 68 of this book. 4th.--_That thorough and systematic drill in Spelling is absolutely necessary_. That the "Reading Reviews" should be so constructed as to contain all the new words used in the lessons they were intended to review, and no others, so that they can be used for "Written or Dictation Spelling." That the pronunciation of the words in the "Spelling Reviews" should be indicated by the diacritical marks of Webster, so that they can be used for either "Oral Spelling" or "Phonic Drill." 5th.--_That the "Script" from which the pupil gets his first and most lasting impressions should be of large size and accurate form_, and not of the nondescript character usually found in books of this class. That it should be free from superfluous line and flourish, and yet have grace and beauty. That it should be adapted for both copying and reading. 6th.--_That the lessons should be largely "conversational in style,"_ to cultivate flexibility of voice and to break up the dreary monotone so frequently heard among children. 7th.--_That the lessons of a book of this grade should not average more than seven "new words."_ That all such words should appear at the commencement of lessons, and be familiar to the pupil. That this method secures careful gradation, and is in marked contrast with the old custom of having from fifteen to twenty-five. 8th.--_That "Outline Drawings" of the objects first presented to pupils should be made in the presence of the class_, as it stimulates them to draw, and thus makes easy and profitable the copying of the "Script Exercises." 9th.--_That the schoolbook of to-day must be beautifully and copiously illustrated_. That there must be variety as well as excellence, both in drawing and engraving. That well-known and famous artists must be secured, such as Harper, Fredericks, Church, Lippincott, Eytinge, White, Beard, Weldon, Thulstrup, Cary, Moser, Weaver, and Share; and such engravers as Karst, Wigand, French, Held, Davis, Hellawell, etc. 10th.--_That the exercises must be instructive as well as interesting,_ and that no artificial system of vowel classification ought to interfere with the free and natural use of words. 11th.--_That a book of this kind should be suited to the wants of graded and ungraded schools_, there evidently being nothing in the one not readily adaptable to the other. 12th.--_That every book of this class should contain a collection of brief extracts from standard literature_ to be committed to memory. 13th.--_That this book is constructed on the above principles_.

Dick saw the rat, and made a start to get away from John. But John said, "Hold on, Dick, let us see if it will go into the trap." But the rat did not go in, and as it was going to run away, John let Dick go, and said, "Catch it, Dick. Run quick, quick!" and they ran very fast to catch the rat.

They had a fine time for a while with Rover, and then set out for home, as it was late in the day, and they could not stay long. On the way home, Rover saw a rabbit, and away he went after it, as fast as he could go. Ann and Frank ran too, but could not keep up with Rover and the rabbit.

I wish we could catch one, Frank. How funny it would look in a cage! Yes, sister, but you would have to get a much larger cage than the one your redbirds have. O I am afraid it would hurt me. If it got out of the cage, it would fly away with me. No, it could not do that, but it could hurt you with its strong beak. What is its beak, Frank? The beak is its mouth.

The waves dashed over the side of the boat, but the more they dashed, the more fun it was for Frank. When Frank got to be a man, he was so fond of the water that he went to sea in a large ship.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: https://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
