PREFACE.
V
A Spelling-book is a necessity. It sliould be used
every day m every gr „le of sol.ool, keeping pace w f
th,8 study of words. It includes enunciation, pronuncia-
tion, readmg, conversation, writing, a know edge of the
moanmg of -words, and accuracy in using tl.em
known to be common and almost universal. So far as
hese difficulties are, or should be, in the pupil's voctbu
lary, it is surely better to meet them direcfl/and prl"
ently than to wait for them to occur incido^tally'I d at
long intervals in general composition. Wlua is lu-eded I
more W„„^ spelling, not merely spelling^™.,,,,!

Something more than mere teUinff is necessary to break
up habits of mispronunciation. An easy, practical m^-thod
of n^ark^J words so as to indicate their pronunciatrou can
be learned and applied by very young children. S^ch a
ystem ,s secon.l only to the living teachers voice and
in some respects it is its superior. By it the e^e t

rUEFACR
I '
Pupils oiiglit to be made acquaiutcd vvitlf the few really
good Spelling Rales, and with the rules for the use of capi-
tals and points, as exemplified in their reading lessons.
Words of similar sound but different spelling and
sense are frequently misspelled and misplaced. Suitable
lists and exercises upon them are given in the following
pages.
The commoner prefixes and suffixes are easily learned
and applied by very young children, who find in word-
building a pleasant and valuable exercise.
A child's vocabulary is very limited. It requires to be
judiciously extended with the signs of ideas he can grasp
— words ho can understand and immediately apply. This
extension is best performed by grouping not words of
simih^r length and accent, but the names of similar
ideas, objects, qualities, actions. When he reads of "The
Tiger," is a fit time to teach him the names of other wild
animals.
Part I. consists of seven Lessons on the Definitions and
Phonotypy; Part II. contains forty-five Lessons suitable
for pupils in the Secoiul Render; Part III. contains
ninety-two Lessons suitable for i)U])ils in the Third
Reader.

LESSON I.
EXERCISE IN ARTICULATION.
Articulation trcjits of sounds as they are correctly
spoken and is estimated by the distinctness or indistinct-
ness of the sounds.
Slurring is indistinct articulation in wliich sounds
are dropped or improperly hlcndod with otluM-s. Careless
readers are apt to slur this here into thhh ere; donH xjou
into dbnchm, etc. Letters are dropped at the l)eginning,
middle, and end of words:— The next day (nex' day) I
saw tiio old man (ol' man) for the last time (las' time).
He slept there (slep' there) on tlu^ twelfth ol (twelf o')
June. James and John (James an') do not speak the
ends (en's) of the words dJ.stineMy (aj^^tinc'ly). When
(w'en) ^^i^^vy (ev'ry) memory (numrrv) fails. Sometimes
the order of the letters is changed:-! saw a hundred
(hunderd) children (childern) on the Heights (Heigths).

Vocal pronurL.ation includes articidatiou and
accent.
Spelling the pronunciation is ,mng otl.er letters
than those of » word to indicate its pronunciation; as
phlox floks . It should be sparingly used, as the p^pil
IS nearly as liable to remember the spelUnff of the pro Jn-
ciation as of the ivonl itself.
Pho-not'-y-py is the use of marked letters to indicate
to the eye what the voice indicates to the ear-tU correct
pronunciation of words.
Di-a-crit'-ic-al marks are the marks used in i.ho-.
notypy, as in Lessons III. and V., Part T.
The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, (and w and v, except at
he beginning of words or syllables); the other letters of
the alphabet are coxson^axts.
A dip'h-thong is the union of two vowels in tlie same
syllable; as qow, hoy.
A dr graph is two letters, vowels or consonants, rep-
resenting a single sound ; as hmd, ^;/^lox.
A trr graph is three letters represeni.ing a single
sound ; as heau, awe. ^
I. E S S O N I I I .
' PIIONOTYPY OF THE VOWELS.
There are forty distinct sounds in the English Lan-
gmige. Hence, it will be seen that the English alphabet is
defective m having only twenty-six letters for fortv sounds
It 18 also redundant, for there are different letters haviuir
tlie same sound ; as, c = s, c = k, qu = kw, s = ., etc.

Every word of niore than one syllal>le has a,i accent-
sometimes more than one. Should a word liave two
accents, one of them will be superior to the other This
superior accent, eaU.d primary, is the only one marked in
this work The other accent, called secondary or rllyt"
mical, IS the cause of much careless pronunciation The
word sohtari/, for instance, has the primary accent on
sol and a fainter (the rliythmical) accent on ta. Pupils
ita ry. They sometimes even substitute the one accent
for the other; as sol' i id' ry.

VOCAL GYMNASTICS.
tics are : Skilful management of the breath; flexibility
of voice; full mellow tone; easy, distinct articulation.
A daily drill of five minutes will, in a short time, make
a wonderful difference in the voice, giving it strength
flexibility, and tone. The following exercises are suit^bl^
for pupils of all grades:
tb.?f f?'^ .:.,rm..-Any convenient physical action
that tends to quicken the circulation of the blood.

For promniciation of words in final a see Lesson XLII.
The affix, ed, means did ; as, tend' ed = did tend ;
leaped = did leap. It always forms a syllable by itself
after t or d. In most other cases it has^tlie sound of d
after Siflat and of t after a sharj).
After t and d—mend-cd; rent-ed; sonnd-ed; faint-ed
After a flat — barber/; weavec?; prized: battrerf
After a sharp — miirked; dvooi)edj lathed; iKL^^ed
When ed does not form a syllable bv itself, but it is
desired to have it pronounced so, a small mark is placed
over the e ; as, parched, called, winged.
Read, first with one set of words, then with the other:
Ostriches \ ^^ '^^"^''^ i in i ^^"^'^^ l 3 ^^^f'ks I

Words ending in le, el, en, and in, unaccented,
generally have the vowel in the unaccented syllable not
only obscure but very brief — just sutlicient to voice the
consonants, Ortiioei)ist sonu'times indicate this brevity
by spelling the pronunciation of such words as shovel
woven, basin -shov'l, wov'n, bas'n. This creates a
tendency to slur many dissyllables into monosyllables.
The other extreme, souiuling the unaccented voVel too
plainly, is ecpuilly inaccurate. It is as improi)er to say
p6' 6m', as i)ome ; jew' cl', as jule or j661 ; diV el', as diile
or dooL The vowel of an unaccented syllable next io an
accented syllable is generally short and more or less

LESSON XXXII.
One source of mispronunciation, iuul one of the
most coinnioii, is the toiidcncy to yivc two accents to such
words as rccviif and uioiDcnf ; as, re' cent' or re' sunt',
nio' nient' or nio' inunt'. 7['mhi' is the only word in tlie
Eno^lish lanyiiau-e tliat has tmo consecut ive accents, with tlie
execption of half a dozen eoiiij)oiind words like gain'-say',
baek'-slide'. Let the accented ,syllal)le of moment be
spoken full and '•Icar, and the consonants of the other
syllable voiced with the obscure natural vowel; as,
mo' m'n.t. Many words of thi'ce oi- nioro syllal)les have
two accents, Imt not on consecfutive syl' Mes ; m:)r are the
accents of equal stress. ()m> at-'cent i.-^ strongly nuirked,
and is cialled primanj; tlie o^\ox, much fainter, is called
secondary or riithuural ; asf m^ ver tizk, (/tV ri ment al.
The vowel in the accented syllable is always clear ; in
the unaccented syllables it is generally more or less ob-
scure. While the obscure vowel should have more of its
oicn souf/d than of any other it nuiy be as indistiiujt as
compatible with clear articulation. Let the error, how-
ever, be on the side of clearness — ac eu' rate is better
than ak' ur it. The sound of u after an accented syllable
has given ortlioej)ists mucJi trouble to indicate. In pro-
nouncing, say ridiculous, pupils are apt to go to the one
extreme, ri du/ (y)u' lous, or to the other, ri dit;' ul oils,
instead of ri die' ii lous. This sound, ii = yu, is heard in
about three hundred words ending in vre, unaccented, and
in almost every case in which n comes after an accented
syllable; as, iw/ e(y)u rate, nat'(y)ur?, niU'(y)rir al,
, The following will illustrate the duration
(y)'

A quotation is generally separated from the narrative
by a comnui ; as, ** Thy mother has come," he said. He
said, *'Thy mother has come." '' Thy mother," said he,
*' has come." This mingled narrative should be read in
a somewhat lower tone tlian the speeches. When the

Dictation. Our Ben took the wheat that had been
on the lloor and put it into the f/in. The fishers were
drowned in one of the fisstires of the ice. Arc you sure
there is a sender? lie Avill bruise the malt before lie brews
it. He is a elercr cleaver of wood. After the sale of tlie
yacht its sail was lowered. Make a noose in the cord
and fasten the narspaper to it. lie sues the Sjiez Canal
Company.
In dictation never overstrain the pronunciation
to indicate the spelling of a word ; on the other hand, the
faulty articulation of a speaker furnishes no fair test as to
the spelling al)ility of the writer.
Mark the pronunciation of tlu; following: —
Hannah's at the window binding shoes.
But her heart's adrift with one
On an endless voyage gone.

The English is a mix^.l language, couiprisiug words
adopted or derived from nearly all the principal languages of
the world, though its chief elements arc of Anglo-Saxon and
Classic origin.
The term Anglo-Saxon, for oonvonionce, is employed
as embracing the Haxon, (lotliic, and Celtic elements; and the
term Classic, as including the Latin, Greek, and French
elements.
The English Language owes its composite character to
the primitive inhabitants of Britain, probably of Celtic origin;
the Roman invasion ; the settlement of the Angles and Saxons ;
the advent of the Danes; the Norman Conquest; the Eeform-
ation ; the great writers of the sixteenth and seventeentli cen-
tuiies; frecpient wars; extensive coiinu(u-ce ; discoveries in
science leading to the formation of technical terms ; newspapers.
The Number of Words, primitive and derivative, in
the English language exceeds 100,000 of which al)Out one-half
are derived from the Greek and Latin. When a young scholar
thinks of learning the meaning of so many words he is apt to
become discouiaged till he iiuds that with a knowledge of the
prefixes and snllixe« and the meaning of only fin;h-e roots, he
can explain the meaning of over 2,000 Knglish words. From
facio (I make or do) 500 words aro formed, and. more than 200
from tiaho (I diaw).
The Primitive words, or root-words, of a langnago form
but a small jiroportion of its whole vocabulary; and, in the
English language, they probal)ly do not exceed 10,000, of which
about 3,000 are from the Classics, 5,000 from Anglo-Saxon,
and the lest from various sources. Many ]trimitivo woi'ds are
formed on the principle of imitation ; as, tiio names of animals
from the sounds they utter — cuckoo, whip-))()or\vill, quail; words
•euresenting the sounds uttered by anijiials — coo, cluck, twitter,
repi
roiu', buzz, purr; words representnig vai'ious sounds — click,
thump, rattle, tinkle, rat-tat, ding-dong, murmur, babl>l(5, ripple.
