 SuaaBSTioN8 to the Teacheh Respectinq the 
 Designs for Diuwino. 
 
 naviiiir chosen a denign for a losB.n, tho teacher flhould place a copy of 
 it on tho m.-u^kboani, aiui Hi.l-tho pupils +^:> analyze its form and to under- 
 stand the plan of itH conatructiun. 
 
 lie should proceed somewhat as follows :— 
 
 Fir»i, as to ForM.-'Vomtvug to the copy ho should require the pupils to 
 name the figure upon which the demgn la based ; to nhow the pints where 
 the lines of this tigure are divided : to show what . oastruction lines arc 
 drawn from these points ; to show what other constnv nn lines are drawn, 
 S the points whire the^e are divided ; and so on Th. n he should require 
 them to point out and name the differer.t, forms of whicli the design is com- 
 Bosed • to show how the different lines of these forms are drawn ; to point 
 oft the forma that are repeate 1, and to state how often ♦hey tie repeated • 
 and so on. 
 
 Second, an to Construction. -B&y'mg drawn upon the blackboard the 
 figure upon which the design is based, he should lenuire the pupils to show 
 how its lines are to be divideo for drawing construction lines ; to show from 
 what other points construction lines are to be draiyn ; m what direction the 
 construction lines should be drawn: what other divisions should be made; 
 wha<- points should be taken as guide dots, and.so on. Then ho should re- 
 quire the pupils to show how one of the lines of the des-gn should be drawn ; 
 and when it has been drawn to show how and where the sunilar linos of 
 the design are to be drawn ; and so on until all the lines of the design 
 have been placed. Finally he should reqmre them to state what parts of 
 the drawing should be erased so that the resulting orawmg may correspond 
 with the given design. 
 
 The design should again be drawn on the board, either by the teacher 
 or a pupil, or by tho teacher and a pupil together, the ditterent steps being, 
 as mScK as possible, suggested by t"he cl^s i^astly, it ahould be drawn by 
 the whole class on slate or paper, to tho dictation . .f the teacher, or copied 
 from the blackboard ; the teacher aidiqg individual pupUa when necessary. 
 Tlie teacher should occasionally require the pupils to reproduce the 
 designs from memory, and to modify them by the addition or omi&sion of 
 details ; also to form, within some simple enclosing figure, original designs, 
 from given elements, or otherwise. 
 
 The pupUs should be required to sit upright ; to face the desk ; to keep 
 their slates or papers on the desks in one position, th a edges parallel with 
 he edges of t::o desks ; to use long pencils, and to hold them lightly and 
 ^o U;at the fingers will »ot obstrn' t the view of the line to be drawn.

 1. Thn plan of this lioadiiiST Book in ttimplo. It in intended that all the 
 wonlw in tliH llist fivo Insioni hIiuU bo Icurntid liy Hight alono. Thcso 1«'k ions 
 aro based on tlu» Hhoit Houndw of tho vowelH. Th« words uwd in thoni urn of 
 two kinds,- -thoso which ropn^sent tho nanws of objocts and thoso which 
 do not. The foruu-i are to bo loarnod by asmwiiitinjj thorn with tho pictu. -s 
 of the objects to which they are attaclnid ; tho latter by using them in sl-.ort" 
 [(hrases and Rfntences, referring to the pictures. Loss.);; VI. is a combi- 
 nation of word and iiicture and forms a review of tho previous lessons. 
 
 2. With Lesson VII. commences phonic dr ill. Tho picture of an objt>ct 
 and its word-Hi},^n aro presented to the j.idIIs, who shoidd be ta.u'rht to asso- 
 ciate tho word-sign with tho sound w'ulIi tliey iitt»)r ikh tho name of the 
 object represented by the picture. They should also be taught to analyze the 
 Hound of this word-sign to the extent of eeparuting tho sound of tho initial 
 letter from that of the following digram. For examjne, the sound met 
 should be separated into " • - at. The teacher should assist the pupils m 
 doing this, exaggerating. : '. -ii t the sound of the initial consonant, but 
 finally obtaining from them the utterance of its exact power. Ir< this way, 
 all tho consonants which form t))o subject of this lesson should be taktiu up. 
 To cmphasiice their force, tho teacher shovdd print other digrams than at 
 on the blackboard, and aid the pupils in obtaining new sounds by com- 
 bining with the sounds of these digj'ams the sou-hIs of the four consonants 
 they are r\o\<f learning. After this has been done, the picture at the head 
 of the lesstm should bo talked about, and tho pupils questioned upon it, 
 in such a way as to excite the imagination. With constant reference to the 
 picture the lesson should then be read ; and only wheii this has been done 
 should the runMs of the letters at the foot of the i>age Ix) taught. 
 
 3. From Lesson VII. onward, all new words, not included in the phonic 
 lists, ai-e registered at the margin of the lesson to which they belong. 
 These words should be used, after the lepson has been read, to secure, 
 by means of drill, rapid word recognition, and distinct enunciation. They 
 shordd also be frequently used in review with the same jjurpose. During 
 the first reading of the book they should not be used for exercise's in 
 spelling. 
 
 4. In Lesson VIII. the same consonants .are used as in Lesson VII., but 
 with a new digi-am, and other consonants ai-e introduced. CLessona IX. 
 and X. are t'milar in design to Lesson VIII. The pictures at the head of 
 these and other lessons throughout the book are intended to assist the pupils 
 in clearly apprehending the thoughts which the sentences of the lessoii 
 express. Suitable questions given by tlu eacber wi'l gitatly c(,ntribute to 
 this end. 
 
 5. Lesson XI. is the outline of a phonic drdl. It can bo but imperfectly 
 represented in print. By the aid of the blackboard, the teacher should 8e«

 PREFACE. ( 
 
 that tho i.upil3 know the i.owms of the letters employed in forming the 
 words used in tho lesH.>u, and before leaving it, their names also. Lesson 
 XII consists of words arranged in groups of similar formation, l^ach 
 group slKUildbodealt with as exemplified in Lesson XL Great patience 
 should be ex-ncised by the teacher at this stage of the pupils' progress, m 
 order to ensure their ripid i>rogress in subseciuent lessons. 
 ■ 6 Lessons XIII. to XVI. inclusive, continue the drill upon the con- 
 sonants as initials, combined with a few digrams of easy utterance. It is 
 intended that each phonic list should V^ dealt with in the same thorough 
 way as illustrated in Lesson XL When these lessons have been mastered 
 the pupils will have acquired the names of all the letters except q, x, y z. 
 
 7 Lessons XVII. to XXV. inclusive, take up consonants as finals, the 
 lessons being formed so as to include combinations of consonants as finals, 
 with digrams having vowel endings. , , , 
 
 8. Lesson XXIV. is exceptional, the letter x being a double consonant. 
 
 9" Lesson XXV. is also exceptional, but in a different way. The letter 
 
 r modifies the sounds of the vowels a, e, i, and o, when following them; but 
 
 m the modified sound is little likely to be tnispronounced, it has not been 
 
 thought necessary to give the lesson a diffei-ent position in the order of 
 
 10.' Lessons XXVI. and XXVIL exemplify the use of double consonants 
 representing simple consonant sounds, as II, ss, and /; Lesson XXVIIL 
 exemplifies the use of two consonants, representing one consonant sound; 
 and Lessons XXIX. to XXXII. inclusive, exemplify the use of two con- 
 sonants to represent simple consonant sounds fur which our alphabet has no 
 single phonetic character, viz.: sh, ch, th, initial and final, wh initial, and 
 
 ng final. 
 
 11. Lesson XXXIII. completes the alphabet. 
 
 12. It will be seen tliat, for the most part, throughout the book, the 
 only words admitted are those whose sounds comprise three phonic elements. 
 The only exceptions, other than those included in the next paragraph, 
 are a few monosyllables in x, which are written, however, with three 
 characters cj/., fox; a few words ending in s, whose uninflected forms 
 have' but three phonic elements, c.r/. , /h«s from hit, Sam's from Sam, and 
 pigs from pi'l ; also a few si^'ht words, such as hard. 
 
 13. It will be seen also that, throughout the book, words of only on© 
 syllable have been introduced, except a few, such as into and cannot, with 
 the component syllables of which, the pupils have become familiar. 
 
 Again only words containing not more than four letters aroused, ex- 
 cept in thJ last lessons, where uninflected words of four letters, but of only 
 three phobic elements, are required to be used with s; e.g., in such words as 
 thips from chip. '

 But, one day when a pack

 saw him no more. 
 
 Once, too, Dick had a cat. Her 
 name was Puss. He used to deck 
 her neck with bits of silk. But 
 Puss went off in the hack one day

 You have made a lot of chips here, 
 Mr. Eich. What are they good for? 
 
 I bum them, but the wood that 
 I cut, I sell. 
 
 Do you not get a rest from your 
 hard work, now and then, Mr. Rich? 
 
 O yes, I fish when fish are to be 
 had, but one cant/ get no sort of 
 fish but chub just now. Such fish 
 I do not care much for. 
 
 v^ no, nor do we. But have you 
 no one to work with you, Mr. Rich? 
 
 Will iChap-man has been with 
 me all a-long^but he left me to- 
 day. I chid him for his bad work. 
 He got to be too slow. He said 
 he did not wish me to talk to him>, 
 as if he were but a chit, when we 
 had been chums so long, and then 
 he went off. But I can get arlong 
 with-out him. 
 
 So you can, Mr. Rich. Good-day, 
 
 
 Good-day, boys.
