Extract from the American Journal of Education
Boston.
Gin many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed, by scholars of the middle class il has
fabiy been customary to make use, in the youngest
class, ct spelling book entirely at with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much tro
BILE, and much waste of time, in building up and pull
ing down. and e-building-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before u.s. is intended accomplish this object
OF its success we have doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will not permit
mention, it presents equal merit. The internal charac
ter OF the book corresponds, in respects, to the
neatness and care Of its execution"
Improved Reader-This valuable little work is now
stereoyped' and can be furnished in any quantity at
short notice.
RECOMMENDATIONS
From J. Stowell, Principal of the Lancas.crian
School, i'll New Haven.
have perused the Improved Reader, which YOU
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.
II contains much useful information communicated in
such manner as both to instruct and please the
reader. The plan of defining such words as the
child is supposed fully to understand is one which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill
dren. j. STOwELL
From the North American Review
"Wihout intending to make any invidous compar-
ison with other works of this class can say with
truth, that it is certainly well adapted to the purpose
for which it intended by its highly deserving author
and teachers"

RECOMMENDATIONS.
From Mr. Stoddart, teacher of Greek in the New Ha-
ven Gymnasium.
Messrs. Durre and Peck-In compliance with your
request, have examined lessons in Greek Parsng
and cheerfully express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work Combining the
outlines of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises upon the various reflections cannot fail to
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
learners in acquiring the elements of the language
In this view, regard valuable introduction TO the
study of Greek--preferabe to any other with which
am acquainted. Yours, etc. A. STODDAKD

From j. L. Kingsley, Professor of the Hebrew, Greek
and Latin Languages in Yale College.
have examined the lessons in Greek Parsinr %
and agree with Mr. stoddard in his opinion of this
work. J. l.. KINGSLEY
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 is such as every teacher must approve. II be-
gins with the pupil by parsng in easy sentences the
different parts Of speech separately he learns their
infections and leads him by easy progress of ap.
plying each rule of etymology and syntax as he adj
vances to familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value Of the work; experience sbund
anty proves that these exercises cannot be introd-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
