Extract from the American Journal Of Education
Boston.
SIN many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is n.
sed, by scholars of the middle class, it has unaccoun-
tabiy been customary to make use, in the Youngest
ciass,.of a spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the cause of much trou-
bic, and much waste of time, in building up, and null.
ing down. and neutrality-suspicious. the first effort
might erect a perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before us, is intended to accomplish this object.
OF its success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will not permit us to
mention, it presents equal merit. The internal charac.
ter OF the book corresponds, in a respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution" a.,

Yale College, August 18th, 1929.
The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol.
lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
our schools; and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work rs such as every teacher must approve. 1t be-
gins with the pupil, by parsing in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately, rs he learns their
infections, and leads him by an easy progress of an.
plying each rule of etymology and syn,ax, as he adj
vances to a familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value of the work; as experience abund-
an,ly proves that these exercises cannot be introd,,-
ced at too early a period in learning the language"
