PREFACE. 
 
 IN the Indian Schools of our country, teachers and mis- 
 sionaries have labored at a disadvantage with the 
 primers compiled for White Schools. Those text-books are 
 adapted for pupils who talk English before they enter 
 school. Indian children must begin conversational and 
 written English at the same time. In view of this fact, the 
 exercises in the Primer and Language Lessons have been 
 prepared. They embrace subjects, sentences, phrases, idioms, 
 and words designed to introduce the children by an easy and 
 natural method to the study of English. It will be observed 
 that tiie forty lessons include all the parts of speech. Teachers 
 will have the opportunity of studying the Cree Syllabics, and 
 explaining to their scholars the meaning of the English text. 
 Missionaries and teachers will possess a Cree text of model 
 sentences and idioms for private study, and will be better 
 qualified to read the Bible, the Hymn Book, the Catechism 
 in Cree, and to teach adult Indians to read and write their 
 own language. 
 
 Should a teacher, with the sanction of the Indian Depart- 
 ment, instruct children in the use of Syllabics, fifteen minutes 
 each day will be found sufficient ; but the main effort should 
 be to drill pupils in the English tongue.

APPENDAGES. 
 
 When "•" and "o" are placed to the right of a syllable, 
 as in AP^S'O, the value of '* • " is absorbed by the syllable, 
 while that of "o" is affixed. Written in Roman characters 
 the word AP'^S'O will illustrate: — pe-kis-kwaoo ; "w" is 
 within the S} lable, and "oo" is affixed to it. The value of 
 " '," which appendfige must be placed after the syllable it 
 aft'ects, is always absorbed except in the case of V*, A* 
 |>-, <]•, in which, though "•" is affixed in position, its value 
 is prefixed. The above combinations are pronounced, wa, 
 we, wo, wa. The absorbed and the prefixed values of . „ 
 are met with in the word A-AP^9-o= we-ke-kis kwaoo, he 
 wishes to speak. 
 
 It will be noticed that there are quantities between V 
 and O V and <, etc., less full than tliose given in the 
 Alphabet. When quantities similar to the alphabetical ones 
 are very necessary in the pronunciation of a word, the period 
 " • " is placed directly over the long or broad syllable, 
 crbP'CL^ = ni-ka-kwe-ta-mUn = 1 shall be in need. VdC 
 crbOS'^ = I shall be there; here the last syllables are, "a" 
 and "yan," both broad. bOS^^^ = where you are. The 
 last " ^7 " is not broad, ka-a-ya-yun.

 MODEL LETTER. 
 
 MoRLEY, Alberta, 
 
 February 21st, 1890. 
 
 Dear Father and Mother, 
 
 1. It is two years since I came here. At first 
 I was lonesome, but now, though I often think of 
 you, I am glad I was sent here to learn English and 
 to work. 
 
 2. On Saturday there is no school, but we work 
 and play a good deal. I like to feed cattle and ride 
 a horse to water. One day the horse ran away with 
 me, and threw me against the fence. My flesh and 
 bones were sore for two or three days. The teacher 
 did not scold me. However, he thought I was care- 
 less ; and said he was thankful the horse did not 
 kill me. 
 
 3. Some of the boys steal things to eat when there 
 is a chance. We are fed plenty at meals, and I feel 
 better when I try to do right. 
 
 4. Sometimes 1 disobey. Our teacher tells us not 
 to tease animals. Once I snared a gopher, and dragged 
 it about v'ith a string until it was almost dead. One 
 of the girls told the teacher I disobeyed him, so he 
 whipped ne well. I told him I did not like to be 
 thrashed ; he said the gopher did not like to be

 abused, and he told me I was cruel. I should Lave 
 killed the gopher at once, as I was told, but I like 
 that kind of play better than the gophers do. They 
 eat oats and carrots, and other things we raise for 
 food. I hope that my younger brother and sister 
 will be brought here to school, and that they will 
 quit teasing gophers, and give up other bad habits 
 before leaving home. 
 
 6. I do not wish to live in a tent any more, or wear 
 a blanket. When I am grown up, I will try to get 
 about twenty cows and two horses to keep on a farm- 
 Every white man makes his own living, because he is 
 taught from childhood to work. I shall never ask 
 for a blanket or rations. Why does the Government 
 not give you coats and pants instead of blankets that 
 make people look foolish and lazy? 
 
 6. The snow is not deep at Morley, and does not 
 remain long, because sometimes the wind is too warm 
 for snow. This winter a wounded bear killed a 
 Stony in the Rocky Mountains not far from here. 
 We were all sorry for his wife and children. Another 
 man accidentally shot liimself, and died very soon after- 
 wards. 
 
 7. The girls in this school can do many things 
 they could do at their homes. They knit, and sew, 
 and make bread, and do other work, and tell on a 
 boy when he does wrong. They are not very good 
 themselves.

 8. There are two schools on the north side of the 
 river, and one on the south side. Mr. McDougall 
 brings boys and girls to this school. Some of them 
 come from afar. Mr. and Mrs. Youraans make us talk 
 English at play and at work, so we learn fast. On 
 Sunday the children are taken out to church ; they 
 like it if it is not too cold. I wish you could hear 
 us sing, and read and talk English. 
 
 9. The Stonies hunt in the Rocky Mountains, farm 
 on both sides of the river, and live in houses. I was 
 surprised at first that these Indians do not gamble, or 
 dance, or bet. Now I see they are taught that these 
 things do them harm and make them poor. The 
 Stonies have faith in the Bible, and listen to the 
 advice of the m^vsionary. Would that all the Crees 
 and other Indians gave up their evil ways and read 
 the Bible ! 
 
 10. I love you all more than ever, and I am 
 anxious to see you and tell you many things that I 
 cannot put in this letter. Dear mother, I have some- 
 thing I am keeping for you until you and father 
 come to see me in the spring. 
 
 Your loving son, 
 
 Chief Sampson, THOMAS. 
 
 Bear's Hill, Alta.
