PREFACE.
THE outcryagainst spelling-books, raisedafew yearsago,resulted from two causes : the poor quality of the books
themselves,and the poor use to which they were put. But
the banishing ofall spelling-books from the schoolroom,asaremedy for the evil, wasan illogical process ;and theresult, inmany places, has beenone or two generations ofpoor spellers.
Inthis case, however,as inmany others, extreme measures have beenfollowed by reaction. The extremistsandthose acting under their influence are recovering their
senses,and the spelling-book is being restored.
Theauthors of the following work belong to that classof teachers who believe thataspelling-book, if of the rightkind and used in the right way, is auseful text-book.
Grammars, rhetorics, geographies, histories,and evensys
tematic works on composition,are useful, and so arespelling-books. But it does not follow that they should
allbe combined inone . It is possible to driveanailwithachisel; but nails canbe drivenbetterand quicker withahammer. So atext-book is better foraspecial use bybeing speciallyadapted to that use .
These facts willaccount for theabsence from this workof many puzzling exercises m the constructionof sentences,
4 PREFACE
and infitting words to parts of ready-made sentences,aswellas for the lack of lessonsand examinations ingeography, grammar,and history, with which some of the
modernspelling-booksabound. It is believed to be better
at times to concentrate theattention. of the student upon
spelling ;and,accordingly, thatall matter tending to distract hisattentionfrom the special work of learning tospell should be excluded from the spelling-book.
It has, therefore, beentheaim of theauthors to makea.
spelling-book for teaching pupils to spell. It is believed
that the proper study of the lessons inthis book will, inthe shortest time, develop in the student the ability to
Spell the words which he willafterwards need to write .
The lessons, for the most part, containonly words incom
monuse ; no words have beenintroduced simply becausethey were odd or hard to spell.
At the same time the matter for the lessons has beensoselected, classified,andarrangedas toafford the pupilallthe incidentaladvantages of definitionand use in sen
tenoes consistent with the mainpurpose of the work.
The wordsare clas sifiedaccording to similarityand dissimilarity of formand meaning ; thus calling into use theprinciples of the association of ideas in learning bothorthographyand definition.
Rules for spelling,as wellas the subject of prefixesandsuffixes, have received dueattention.
The work is commended confidently to the considerationof those teachers who believe inthe judicious use of the
Spelling-book.
SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS .
LEARNING to spell consists largely informing correct habits,habits of thinking, inorder, of the names or forms of the letterscomposing words,and habits of moving the pensoas to makethese letters whentheir names or formsare thought of . Ulti
mately the habit is formed of moving the penaright, so as tomakeall the letters inthe right order, whenentire words only,
and not the separate letters,are inthe mind.
Inoral spelling the pupil recallsand speaks the names of theletters ; this may or may not be accompanied by the recall of
the visible forms of the letters . Inwrittenspelling the guide
to the process of making the letters is, primarily, the conception
of the forms of the letters ; this may or maynot beaccompaniedby the ideas of the names of the letters.
Inlearning to spell orally the pupil must hear the pronun
ciationof the word, seeall the letters in order,and think of
the names of the letters . If , during the process, stress is laidonthe visible form, the pupilwill, whenhe comes to spell, recallthe names of the letters through the image of the word ; if , on
the contrary, stress is laid onthe names of the letters, he will
recall the names through theirassociationwith oneanotherandwith the wordasawhole .
In learning to spell by writing the pupil must add to the
hearing and seeing, necessary in learning to spell orally, theprocess of making the letters. Whether the processes of forming the lettersare to be recalled, during the writing of words,
through the conceptionof the forms of the letters, or through
6 SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS.
the conceptionof the names of the letters, depends uponwhether
stress has beenlaid uponform or uponsound during the process
of learning.
Some pupils are helped more inspelling by the associationof sound ; others more by theassociationof form ;all,no doubt,are helped more or less by both. Hence both kinds of spellingshould be practised inschool.
The following order inthe treatment ofaspelling lessonwill,asarule, be found profitable
Pronunciationof the words by the pupil, the teacherassist
Study of the words by the pupil.
Oral spelling of the words, the teacher pronouncing.
Copying the words by the pupil.
Writing the words from dictation.
Inoral spelling it is best for young pupils to pronounce eachsyllable by itself,and thenthe last syllable spelled, together withthe preceding syllables, before naming the letters of the next
syllable . Older pupils may simply pause betweenthe syllables ;but this method should not be allowed till the naming of the
letters of asyllable is instantly followed by the ideaof the pronunciationof the syllable .
Inmany of the lessons wordsare defined by one or two words
standing in parallel columns ; these lessons should be spelled
across the page . Inthat way the pupil is learning definitionsas wellas orthography.
As learning to spell is the forming of good habits, neverallowapupil to try to spellaword till he knows how . Teach him
to distinguish betweenknowingand guessing;and then insistuponknowledge .

When Should we stop to pick them up ?
To—day, my friend, to-day.
But Should she frown with face of care ,And talk of coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve, if grieve we must ?To-morrow, friend, to-morrow.

But they, while their companions slept,Were toiling upwards inthe light .
H. W. o osu mw.
Breathes thereamanwith soul so dead,Who never to himself hath said,This is my own, my native land ?
Whose heart hath ne ’er within him burned,As home his footsteps he hath turned,From wandering onaforeign strand ?
If such there breathe, go , mark him well,For himno minstrel raptures swell !
High though his titles, proud his name,Boundless his wealthas wish canclaim ;Despite those titles, power,and pélf,The wretch, concentredall inself,Living
,shall forfeit fair renown,
And,doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,Unwept, unhonored,and unsung.
