Extract from the American Journal of Education
Boston.
"ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed, byssrhoars of the middle class il has unaccoun
tably been customary to make use in the youngest
class, of spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the cause of much trou-
BILE, and much of time, in building up and pull
ing down. and e-buding-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric once. The spelling
book before US, is intended to 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 permit us TO
mention, 1t presents equal merit The internal charac-
ter OF the book corresponds, in all respects to the
neatness and care of its execution"

ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill

RECOMMENDATIONS.
From Mr. Stoddar teacher of Greek in the New IIa-
Gymnasium.
Messrs. Durre and Peck-In compliance with your
IInya AZ
and cheertully express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work. Combining the
outlines of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises the various reflections, it fail
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
learners, in acquiring the elements of the language.
In this view, regard it valuable Introduction to the
study of Greek-preferable to any other with which
| am acquainted. Yours, etc.

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: az work of this kind has long wanted in
our schools and il is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve II be-
gins with the pupil, by parsing in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately, as he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap.
plying each rule of etymUOgy and syntax, 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
antly proves that these exercises be ntrodu-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
