+[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_.

+But, my boy, it will not live in that dish. Put it back into the brook.

+I wish I could keep it. It is so pretty! May I put it into the pond?
+
+No, John. You must put it into the brook. A trout will not live in warm

+John, where did you get your fox?
+
+I caught him in a trap, when he was small.
+
+Is he tame now?
+
+O yes! and he is very fond of me. We romp, and play, and have a jolly
+time with each other.
+
+What do you give him to eat?
+
+I give him meat and bread.
+
+Can a fox run fast, John?
+
+Yes. My fox can run very fast.  A little while ago, Frank was here with
+his dog Rover. The fox was afraid of Rover, and ran away.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When Rover saw the fox start, he ran after him. O how they did go! They
+ran and ran, up hill, and down hill, but the fox ran faster than Rover,
+and got away.
+
+How did you get him back?
+
+O when Rover went away, he soon came back to me. I do not let dogs run
+after him now.

+One day Ann and Frank went to the lake with Rover.
+
+Rover can swim well, so Frank made him go into the water after a stick.
+
+"Jump, Rover! Jump in and get the stick," said Frank; and into the water
+he went with a big splash.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Pretty soon he came out with the stick in his mouth.
+
+He did not like the fun so well as Frank, for the water was a little
+cold.
+
+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.
+
+When they got home, Rover was there, and Frank said--
+
+"Where is the rabbit, Rover?"

+Rover gave Frank a funny look and went away.

+"O I know!" said Frank, "the rabbit ran so fast you could not catch it."

+
+Yes, they are very fond of fish. The eagle is a large and strong bird.
+Mamma' saw one take up a rabbit and fly off with it.
+
+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

+No, it could not do that, but it could hurt you with its strong beak.

+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.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  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.
