 If teachers will follow the instructions given in the 
 Manual, I shall have no occasion to regret the prepara- 
 tion of this book ; but if it is used as such books may be 
 used, it would have been better not to add another to 
 the many facilities now afforded teachers for tne thought- 
 less oral spelling of columns of words. 
 
 It is a great convenience to the teacher to have groups- 
 of words arranged with reference to their orthographical 
 peculiarities; but the teacher who simply pronounces 
 these words, with no discussion or application of theii 
 meaning or use, comes very far short of his duty in the 
 spelling recitation. 
 
 The pupil should first get the idea which the word 
 represents, then associate the idea with the word, and 
 lastly, write the word. This requires the most careful 
 and critical examination of the spelling lesson on the 
 part of the teacher, without which, it is not possible to 
 attain the highest success in teaching children to spell. 
 
 I have not attempted to indicate the number of words, 
 that shall be taken up at a lesson. No one can know 
 this so well as the teacher. 
 
 The words are arranged in long columns as a matter 
 of economy. They are first grouped with reference to 
 the vowel element in the accented syllable. In the re- 
 views, a different classification is adopted, still based on 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 orthographical peculiarities, but the words are so ar- 
 ranged as to break up the former association, and thus 
 test the pupil's ability to spell them, independent of their 
 classification. 
 
 I have omitted all rules for spelling as being cumber- 
 some, confusing, and unreliable. Any person who would 
 spell well, must form the habit of spelling correctly, so 
 that, without reflection, he will be able to write rapidly 
 and correctly. This can only be acquired by writing 
 words over and over again, until, from mere habit, he 
 writes them correctly. With this view, it is important 
 that the words should be correctly written from the very 
 first. 
 
 The proper pronunciation of the words is determined, 
 for the most part, by the accent and the classification. 
 
 If the accent is on any other than the first syllable it 
 is indicated by the usual mark. 
 
 In the more advanced review lessons, the ability to 
 syllabicate and pronounce correctly is tested, — a point 
 to which the teacher should give careful attention. 
 
 It will be observed that the book is arranged in six 
 parts, and, in a graded school, may cover as many years, 
 beginning with the intermediate department. 
 
 With rare exceptions, I have taken Webster as au- 
 thority in spelling, syllabication, and pronunciation. In 
 a few instances, however, I have adopted the preference 
 of Worcester rather than that of Webster, where it is 
 plainly more in accordance with general usage.
