- GENERAL DIRECTIONS ON TEACHING LANGUAGE.
-
-
-The teacher should ask questions about the objects and incidents of the
-reading lesson; the most difficult words of the lesson should be placed
-on the board and used as an exercise in rapid pronunciation and
-spelling; let the pupils pass rapidly through a paragraph, pronouncing
-the words of two-syllables, three-syllables, etc.; and, as soon as the
-advancement of the class will permit, the pupil should pass through a
-paragraph naming the parts of speech, the phrases, the propositions, and
-the sentences, now and then classifying them.
-
-Frequently, as a pupil reads, the rest of the class should be required
-to close their books and turn their attention directly to what is being
-read; when the reader is through, the teacher should question the
-listeners carefully until every point of what was read is brought out
-clearly,—the reading itself to be properly criticised. Rules of
-punctuation, and those concerning the use of capitals should be deduced
-from the reading matter, and frequently recited. Quotation marks, the
-hyphen, and the apostrophe must receive their share of attention.
-
-Geographical terms, allusions, and figures of speech should be noted;
-let the places mentioned be located and described as in geography. If
-prominent men are mentioned, let brief biographical sketches be given.
-
-Before beginning the recitation, the teacher should question the class
-closely in regard to what is set forth or told in the lesson. Give
-careful attention to position, voice, emphasis, tone, etc. Good reading
-should strike our attention as being very like good conversation.
-
-As soon as practicable, the pupils should be required to write out as a
-composition the thoughts and incidents of the lesson. Occasional
-exercises in parsing and analysis may be given from the reading lesson.
-
-Stories, extracts, etc., should often be read to the class, to be
-written out by them in their own language. Let attention to the use of
-correct language be a prominent feature of every recitation.
-Transformations of easy poems into prose, and descriptions of scenes,
-real or imaginary, may be used in composition work. Oral and written
-reproductions of reading lesson must occur frequently. Conversations
-about familiar and interesting objects will give the teacher an
-opportunity to correct bad language.
-
-From time to time, as opportunity offers, supplementary reading matter
-may be used. Throughout the grades, two or three times a week, the
-pupils should be required to commit choice quotations and to recite them
-clearly and effectively.

-
- INSTITUTE LESSONS. Primary Arithmetic.
-
-
-1. Use each of the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, &c.) one at a time, and devise
-many different ways of illustrating and using each objectively. First,
-the perception of the number as a whole—then, the analysis of the
-number. Part of the work should involve subtraction.
-
-2. Each number may be illustrated in many ways by large dots variously
-grouped on cards. With these cards drill the perception in quickness.
-Let each pupil arrange a certain number of “counters” in several ways of
-regular form.
-
-3. On each number, ask every possible variety of question. Let the
-pupils make problems. Let some be made that are to have a certain given
-answer.
-
-4. As each number is used, let its script form be learned and made by
-the pupils. After progressing in this way as far as 4 or 5 (some say to
-9) teach the figures. Practice counting objects as far as 20.
-
-5. The exercises for slate work should progress very gradually. A higher
-number should be introduced only after the pupils can use, with
-readiness, those below it, in their many and varied combinations. Let
-there be oral work consisting of easy objective problems illustrative of
-the slate work.
-
-6. In the black-board work the teacher should use a pointer and call for
-ready and correct mental recitations, as he points to the various
-problems.
-
-7. The exercises for slate work may be of several different kinds: as,
-
- (a) 1 and 1 are .
- 2 and 3 are .
- &c.
-
- (b) 5 less 1 are .
- 6 less 4 are .
- &c.
-
- (c) 2 and are 6.
- and 1 are 5.
-
- (d) 6 less are 5.
- less 2 are 2.
-
- (e) 1 1 1 2 2
- 1 1 2 2 2
- 1 2 3 2 3
- _ _ _ _ _
-
-The columns of (e) may contain from three to nine figures. The teacher
-must not lengthen them at any time beyond the ability of the pupils.
-
- (f) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
- 2 1 3 9 4 5 6 8 7
- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
-
-The upper figure is the same in each: the lower figures are different
-and are arranged miscellaneously. In the advancement, increase the upper
-row a unit at a time, as far as 11.
-
-8. Teach the use of the signs ×, -, and =, and let the pupils have slate
-work similar to the following:—
-
- 8 × 5 = .
- 9 - 6 = .
- &c.
-
- 12 - = 4.
- 12 - = 8.
- &c.
-
- + 6 = 9.
- + 3 = 9.
- &c.
-
-9. Practice counting objects as far as 100, after which drill frequently
-in writing and reading the numbers, from the black-board, as far as 100.
-
-10. Use exercises similar to the following:—
-
- (a) 4 4 4 4
- 9 19 29 39 &c.
- _ __ __ __
-
- (b) 7 7 7 7
- 8 68 18 88 &c.
- _ __ __ __
-
-Let every possible combination be learned so well that the result can be
-given instantly.
-
-11. For variety, along with the preceding, there may be used exercises
-similar to the following:—
-
- (a) 2 3 2 1
- 4 0 1 3
- 0 4 3 9
- 8 6 4 0
- 6 7 6 8
- 9 5 7 5
- __ __ __ __
-
- (b) 2 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 5 = .
- 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 + 3 = .
-
- (c) 21 41 22
- 32 63 33
- 64 63 53
- __ __ __
-
-“Carrying” may now be taught.
-
-12. Practice writing and reading numbers of three, and four, figures.
-The pupils at the same time may be given exercises similar to the
-following:—
-
- 213
- 321
- 132
- 413
- 234
- ___
-
- 769
- 758
- 897
- 786
- 594
- ___
-
-Take the last example: the pupil should be taught to _think through it_
-rapidly, as follows:—4, 10, 17, 25, 34—write the 4 and carry the 3; 3,
-12, 20, 29, 34, 40,—write the 0 and carry the 4; 4, 9, 16, 24, 31, 38;
-write the whole result.
-
-13. Let the pupils learn to read numbers as high as millions. For a few
-examples, at first, in subtraction, let the numbers in each order of the
-minuend be greater than the corresponding ones in the subtrahend; as,
-
- 98
- 45
- __
-
- 1364
- 631
- ____
-
- 9842
- 3512 &c.
- ____
-
-Use practical problems.
-
-14. Next, those examples necessitating “borrowing” or “carrying” may be
-given; as,
-
- 137092
- 72348
- ______
-
- 6235
- 4879
- ____
-
-The method involving “carrying” is the better one. _If equals be added
-to two numbers, their difference is not changed._ In the last example,
-if 10 is added to 5, to equalize it add 1 to 7, for 10 units of one
-order equal one unit of the next higher. Adding the 1 to the 7 is called
-“carrying.”
-
- ·· 2 × 1 = 2
- :: 2 × 2 = 4
- :: : 2 × 3 = 6
- :: :: 2 × 4 = 8
- &c. &c.
-
-Let the pupils recite the tables orally. Use for drill the following
-problems:—
-
- 987654321
- 2
- _________
-
- 123456789
- 2
- _________
-
-With the problem on the board let the pupil recite without the aid of
-the answer. Similarly use the 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, &c. Along with this part of
-the work, how to multiply by a number of two or more figures may be
-taught. Placing the multiplication table in the compact rectangular form
-found in some arithmetics will be profitable and interesting work.
-
-16. Teach the Roman notation to C; how to tell the time of day; how to
-make change with money; and how to solve easy exercises in _pt._, _qt._,
-_pk._, and _bu._,—_gi._, _pt._, _qt._, and _gal._—and _in._, _ft._, and
-_yd._
-
-17. The teacher, using a pointer, should drill the pupils thoroughly on
-the following table. (Try to acquire speed and correctness).
-
- 2 × 2 3 × 7 8 × 5
- 3 × 2 8 × 3 5 × 9
- 2 × 4 3 × 9 6 × 6
- 5 × 2 4 × 4 7 × 6
- 2 × 6 5 × 4 6 × 8
- 7 × 2 4 × 6 9 × 6
- 2 × 8 7 × 4 7 × 7
- 9 × 2 4 × 8 8 × 7
- 3 × 3 9 × 4 7 × 9
- 4 × 3 5 × 5 8 × 8
- 3 × 5 6 × 5 9 × 8
- 6 × 3 5 × 7 9 × 9
-
-These constitute the multiplication table with the duplicate
-combinations cut out, leaving but 36 products to learn in the entire
-field of the common multiplication table.
-
-18. Let the division tables now be learned.
-
- 2 into 2 one time .
- 2 into two times .
- 2 into three times .
- 2 into four times .
- 2 into five times .
- 2 into six times .
- 2 into seven times .
- 2 into eight times .
- 2 into nine times .
- 2 into ten times .
-
-Let the pupils fill the blanks. Let them learn how often 2 is contained
-in 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. Also, when the 3’s, 4’s, etc., are
-learned, use the intermediate numbers that give remainders. Drill in
-mental work. Give examples after each table is learned; as
-
- 2)563480
- ________
-
- 2)7104239
- _________
-
-Show how to write the remainder fractionally. Teach the meaning of ½, ⅓,
-and ¼.
-
-19. Teach long division using easy graded examples.
-
- 15)180(
- 25)625(
-
- 13)168(
- 50)1150(
-
- 25)400(
- 115)32467(

-20. Learn the divisors of numbers as high as 100. Method of recitation:
-Suppose the lesson consists of the numbers 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
-
-The pupils, with their knowledge of the multiplication table, by
-experimental work, and from suggestions by the teacher,—prepare their
-slate work as follows:
-
- The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12.
- The divisor of 25 is 5.
- The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13.
- The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9.
- The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14.
- 29 has no divisors.
-
-In the oral recitation, the first pupil, without referring to his slate,
-recites as follows:—
-
-The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12; 2 twelves are 24, 3 eights
-are 24, 4 sixes are 24, 6 fours are 24, 8 threes are 24, and twelve twos
-are 24.
-
-The next pupil recites as follows: The divisor of 25 is 5; 5 fives are
-25.
-
-The third recites: The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13; 2 thirteens are 26,
-13 twos are 26.
-
-The fourth recites: The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9; 3 nines are 27, 9
-threes are 27.
-
-The fifth recites: The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14; 2 fourteens
-are 28, 4 sevens are 28, 7 fours are 28, and 14 twos are 28.
-
-The sixth recites: 29 has no divisors; it is a prime number—a number
-that can be exactly divided only by itself and unity.

- INSTITUTE LESSONS. U. S. History.
-
-
-Most pupils are slow in learning how to study History. The plan here set
-forth will lead them to understand how closely and intently the eyes of
-the mind must scan each line, if nothing is to escape their vision.
-
-The teacher selects from the lesson words and expressions indicative of
-the prominent ideas, and classifies them into those of _times_,
-_places_, _persons_ and _miscellaneous items_; the most _difficult
-words_, for “dictionary work”; and _general topics_, of which the
-preceding divisions are analytic elements. These elements thoroughly
-learned, recited, and properly combined bring into use, language and
-understanding to help form a foundation for mastering and reciting the
-general topics. The teacher’s analysis is placed upon the board. From
-this (or a copy of their own) the pupils may prepare the lesson. First,
-the pupil is to read (study) his lesson through once or twice, and then
-test his work by noting how many of the _elements_ of the lesson he can
-“recite.” To recite an element, a pupil states how (or why) the author
-has used it, or in what connection it occurs in the lesson. If it
-denotes a _person_ to tell who he was; if a _place_ to tell where it is;
-&c.
-
-This recitation is necessarily short, but it brings into use language
-and understanding to form a foundation for mastering and reciting the
-general topics.

-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.

-assistance they need are 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. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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.
