no other grade, they say that could be

the child to read, and upon this point
Superintendent Powell says: IF the child
is taught to read by the process of learn
ing words. selected from his vocabulary
for the sake of giving him power 10 tell
words by a knowledge of the elements
that make words Mechanically, he may
indeed be taught to read as rapidly as by
any other process; but II he is so taught
the teacher, the parent, the school. ard
society will have TO trust to the child
likes and dislikes as secured elsewhere
rather than to those obtained by the pro-
cess of learning to read respecting that
which he, will read after he has learned
to know words.
He may in this way disappoint the
teacher. the parent and society. Reading
may thus become an fundamentally by
whose use he may get pleasure 1t is true,
but what he reads may not add to the sum
of his knowledge, but may poison his
mind and corrupt his character. In this
principle is involved the supreme RESPONSE
bility. the supreme danger in teaching the
child to read
When the child has been taught to read
by the enriching methods of knowledge
getting precedent to word learning, prog
ress in geography. history, indeed all
branches of knowledge that must be ac
quired chiefly from books, becomes easy.
II is by these means also that acquiring
these studies is made pleasurable and,
therefore, free from barn.
