Inasmuch as the 'Public School Speller and Word Book treats only of the words lound m the lessons of the Second and Third Readers, it is not by any means a complete guide to the spelling and pronouncing of the words of the English language ' In fact, only some twelve thousand ' words are shown in the book.

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.

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.

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. I ■ I THE Public School Speller AND WORD-BOOK PAllT I 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). EM > F.

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.

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)' VowKL Key: Call now boy I Jim n>Si far, EtiUiVALKNTB: il u ow ou oy ol ly itC (5 a a Ma iV fi^ '■■'^s:ft*-",'E.?;Xl"-^i-' %'" PVULW SOiroOL SPKI.I.KU AM, WOHUnOim. 127 :L!!;:.:rf """' "'"'"' • "■'" '"•^"••" '^- «-'- 'uasreprosented l.y a, o. i, „, „, v in ) tlio last syllahlo of IT ar, l)rl'\.r t _^ ^ ni'iii, ac' t.M-, snl'i.l,,,,.. zrph' yr."

A Suffix, called also postfix and affix, is a particle added ftt the end of a wonl ; as, harni/y,/, civic. The meaning of a, compound or derivative word is ouuai t^ the united meaning of its significant parts ; as, in-com-press- ible. noi together pressed can he; steamboat, a vessel naviyated by steam. ^ :m PrBLIO SCHdOL SPEMEIl .V]> WORn-BOoK, IL'\ \p ' I 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. iMIiUC ,S(Uu(.r, SPK.I.I.KU AM.
