When all can road tbe sentences as they stand, the Teacher, in order to test whether they kiiow thw new words, proceeda as in Step IV., Section I. III. When the lesson is mastered, the Teacher draws attention to th8 tiew words at the head of the lesson, and using the blackboard or tablet, carefully directs attention to their points of reaemblance and diii'orence, both as to form and , BOTxnd. IV. A slate exeroise may be given in connection with each lesson, and should include the careful copying of the words at the bead of the lesson. • Note.— Each lesson should be thoroughly mastered before the pnpil proceeds to tbe next, and the back lessons may with profit be frequently reviewed. Experience has shown that the child had better not be troubled with any attempt at oral bpelling, while in the first part of the First Book.
