Exercises for the reading and study of the Higher
Classes in Common Schools. BY Rev. Levi w.
Leonard.
The Rev. S. r. Hall, author of the celebrated
Lectures on School Keeping at once introduced
the Scientific Class Book into the Essex County
Grammar School, of which he is Principal In a
letter to the editors of the North Star, he says
When reflect on the fact, that in a great part
of the primary schools in this part of the country
the study of any of the natural sciences is almost
wholly unknown, am extremely anxious that this
work should be introduced. The higher classes
would, while improving in reading, be able to OBJ
tain knowledge of the "Ieadslg facts and prin-
cipLes Of science" A desire would undoubtedly be
excited in many to gain further knowledge of the
subject, which otherwise might never be felt.
can assure those parents, who furnish their chill
dren with the Class Book, that they are comforting
real favor on them; and it is hoped that the par
smony too often exhibited in regard to furnishing
schools with proper books, will not prevent the
introduction of this work the present season.
Scholars in this school will hereafter be required
to use 1t in place of the English Reader.
In haste, yours respectfully, S. R. HALL"
Fitchburg, Sept 3; $780,
Messrs. ]. & J. w. Prentiss, After one years
experience in the use of the Literary and Scien-
tihc Class Book in the manner proposed by the
Compiler, do not hesitate to say that it is work
every way adapted to answer the design for which
it is intended and on account of its utility, would
urge its introduction into our High Schools, and
Schools, if properly used; for while the pupil is
improving in the art of reading he is at the same
time storing his mind with the leading facts and
principles of science" b. Cook
In compliance with your request that I would
express my opinion of the Literary and Scientific
Class Book, am ready to say that having examin-
ed this work, and having attended an examination
of the High School in this town, in which it is
used, believe it to be well suited to accomplish
the purpose contemplated in its publication.
