'ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed by scholars of the middle Glass; it has
tabiy been customary to make use, in the youngest
class of spelling book entirely at with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou-
ble and much waste of time, in building up, and pull

might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling

Yale College, August i4th, 1899.
The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes fol.
lows: GA work of this kind has long been wanted in
schools and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve. It 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 etymoogy and syntax, as he adj
vances familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value Of the work; experience abund-
any proves that these exercises cannot be introdu-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
