L 2, S Public Archives ct Mova Scotia .HM.1FAX, N. S. Part I. PREFACE. . The following lessens were commenced some years ago for the use of the Author's own pupils. They were intended originally to supplement the examples and exercises , contained in Jacobs' Primary Lessons and Keep's First Lessons for Deaf-mutes— both of Ihese being used in the Halifax school— so as to adapt them more exactly to local requirements. They have thus gradually assumed their pi-esent sliape in which it is hoped tliey may prove useful beyond their original j)urpGse. The book forms part of a course to be continued and completed as circumstances may permit. An exposition of the principles on which the course is based, with explanations of the leading features of the work, will be found in the Introduction. J. S. H. June, 1878. TABLE OF CONTENTS. Chap.

The"' Commands" in Sections i, TI and lil are to be pctijilly performed, not mereh/siffned^- '\r^t, l>y the whole class simultaneously, and then })y etch pupil in turn, calling on them individually, thus : — John, Stand up. Mary, Sit down. James, Give me your hand, &c. &c. When the exercise is simidtaneous the word " All " to be perfixed, e. g. All, Stand up, All, Sit down. All, Give me your hand. &c. &c. 3. Practise the pupils in this way on each section until they can recognize the meaning of every " Command " at sight, and perform the required action promptly. 4. The meaning or scope of each sentence in the sec- tions headed " Wants," " Requests," " Complaints," to m Ml m 11 4 11 l< i "be given as a whole by signs, and the pupils exercised in interpr'?ting them at sight by signs, until perfectly familiar with them. 5. At this stage the pupil should not be confused by attempts to give the meanings of the separate words in the sentence, lut let him be accustomed to g'Hf-p the sentence as a simple unit, as explained in the Introduc- tion. 6. The " Commands " and other Sentences are to be read (1) from the printed page, {:l) written on the Blackboard, mid (3) dictated by the manual Alphabet. 7. After the pupil has mastered the meamw^ of the sentences, and can interpret them readily at sight, he should next be made to master the language^ by memorizing them thoroughly.^ At this stage he should be n^quired to use ihem in his intercourse with his Teacher and classmates. Never allow- him to ask or say anything in signs for which he has already had the language provided, but require and encourage him constantly to ?<.se tlie wordt* he has learned. This habit cannot be commenced too soon, or too assiduously cultivated, the Teacher being constantly on the alert to utilize the pupils' little attainments for the practical needs of daily intercourse. 8. Signi, should never he used between the Teacher and pupil where ivords can be made to convey the idea. The Teacher will need to exercise constant vigilance over himself to avoid the temptation of too much signing. W LANGUAGE LESSONS. Part I I. DIRECTIONS OR COMMANDS. 1. 1- Stand up. 2. Sit down. 3.
