Extract from the American Journal of Education,
Boston
''In many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is H.
sed by scholars of the middle class has
tably been customary TO make use, in the youngest
class, OF spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou-
Bile, and much waste of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and re-buildng-wherc the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The smelling
book before US, is intended TO accomplish this object
OF its success we have no doubt. The utmost care
mas been bestowed its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will permit us to
mention, it presents equal merit The internal charac-
ter OF the book corresponds, in all respects, to the
neatncss and care of its execution

such manner, both to instruct and please the

ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill
dren. T. STOWEIJ
