PREFACE
In offering a new business speller, it seems desirable to indicate
some of the features in which the book differs from other publications
and to suggest methods in which it may be employed.
It is in some ways desirable that words in a spelling book should be
presented in a manner as nearly like the way they appear in ordinary
print as is possible. In endeavoring to do this there has been a tend-
ency in recent years to neglect syllabication, that other great aid to
spelling. In this book the words are divided into syllables, but, in
order to retain the similarity to originaLprint, hyphens are not inserted
between tlie syllables.
It is undesirable to respell more than is necessary, for in respelling
false ideas are given as to the proper spelling of the word. Only those
words have been respelled where there would be doubt as to the pro-
nunciation.
Some general principles regarding pronunciation of vowels are given
in the beginning of the book, and an application of these principles
has made it necessary to respell only a comparatively few words. No
word has been respelled which is in strict conformity with these gen-
eral principles, unless it is a word which is generally mispronounced.
Each lesson is given a separate page, and there is enough material
in the book for a lesson a day for forty weeks. Attention is called to
the fact that the words in the first sixty-four lessons are grouped in
accordance with certain rules for spelling. While many words in
English violate rules of spelling, a knowledge of the application of
certain rules is a distinct aid to proper spelling. The reading of a rule
is of very little use, but when fifty or one hundred words applying the
rule are studied, the teacher, by calling repeated attention to the rule,
may make it so emphatic that the student will thereafter apply it.
The book will be found miusually complete in the common business
terms, and in the more common technical words used in the various
occupations and professions.
iii
iv PREFACE
A valuable feature of the book is an alphabetic list of all the words,
with a number showing where the definition may be found. The use
of this list will enable a student to look up quickly the spelling of auj
word he is not certain of, and will refer him to a definition of the word.
The definitions have been carefully selected and are much more com-
plete than in the ordinary spelling book.
The author advises, where there is a daily lesson in spelling, that
for the first four days of each week one of the regular lessons, con-
sisting of twenty-five words, be used, and that on the fifth day the
review following these lessons be employed. In these reviews, which
consist of fifty words, the first column contains words which were in
one of the four preceding lessons. The words in the second column
are selected from any previous part of the book, and the third column
consists of words to be looked up as to division of syllables, pronuncia-
tion, definitions, etc., in the dictionary.
Webster's New International Dictionary has been used in all cases
as the standard for division of words and for pronunciation.

a as in final, husband, madam.
a " sofa, idea, abound.
e " recent, decent, novel.
6 " connect, control, combine.
u " circtts, datwm, circtimstance.
OTHER SIGNS USED IN RESPELLING
rj (like ng) as in baqk, juqction, siqgle.
g (always " hard") as in go, begin, great.
th (voiceless) as in thin, through, wealth (not usually respelled).
fh (voiced) " then, fhough, smooth (usually respelled).
^\ are used to indicate the changing of the t and d in these com-
binations to cA and j in ordinary speech, although many careful
speakers aim to avoid it; as in culture, nature, verdure,
gradual.
N is used to represent the nasal tone of the preceding vowel in
words from the French and Portuguese, but is not itself
sounded.
LENGTH OF VOWELS
(Vowels which conform with the following rules are not generally
respelled.)
In accented syllables a vowel is usually
Long (a) if it stands alone.
(b) if at the end of a syllable.
(c) if before a single consonant followed by e.
Short (a) at the beginning of a syllable.
(b) in the middle of a .syllable unless the syllable
ends with silent e.
In unaccented syllables the tendency is to lessen the stress on the
vowels, although they frequently retain the same quality as vowels
in similar positions in accented syllables. For illustration, a vowel
which, from its position, would be "long" in an accented syllable,
is nsually "half long" in unaccented syllables. The "i," however,
is nearly always " short," and " a " is often changed to '• d."
RULES
F, S, AND L FINAL
(Lessons 1, 2, 3, 4)
Rule 1. The letters /, s, and I at the end of monosyllables and stand-
ing immediately after single vowels are generally doubled. Other con-
sonants are very rarely doubled at the end of words.
Rule 2. The letters / and s (but not I) at the end of words of
more than one syllable and standing immediately after single vowels
are frequently doubled.
Rule 3. The letters /, s, and I at the end of words and standing
immediately after diphthongs or double vowels are rarely doubled.
Rule 4. Derivatives which are formed by prefixing or adding one
or more syllables to words ending in double consonants commonly
retain both consonants. (Words in all, well, full, and mass are ex-
ceptions to this rule, and usually omit one of the consonants.)
Rule 5. When ly is added to a word ending with a single I, both
Vs are retained.
C HARD AND SOFT
(Lessons 5, 6, 7, 8)
Rule 6. Cis sounded hard like k before a, o, or n ; or before any
consonant except h; or at the end of a syllable, if not followed by
i or e.
Rule 7. C is sounded soft like s before e, i, or y.
Rule 8. Monosyllables ending with the sound of k, and in which
c follows the vowel, usually have k added after the c.
Rule 9. Words of more tlian one syllable ending with the sound
of k, and in which the c follows a. vowel or vowels other than i or ia,
usually have k added after the c.
Rule 10 Words of more than one syllable ending with the sound of
k, and in which the c follows i or ia, are usually wiitten without the
final k.
G HARD AND SOFT
(Lessons 9, 10)
Rule 11. 6r is sounded hard before a, o, or u ; or before any con-
sonant ; also at the end of a word, and of derivatives of that word.
Role 12. G usually has the soft sound (like j) before e, i, or y
viii
RULES IX
VOWELS
(Lessoxs 13-20)
Rdle 13. At the eud of a word a single consonant, preceded by a
long vowel, is always followed by silent e. (There are many cases,
however, where words with a silent e at the end have short vowels.)
Rule 14. A single consonant, preceded by a single short vowel,
usually omits final e.
Rule 15. A short vowel is frequently modified by the insertion of
an additional vowel either before or after the. original one. Ea, ei, ai,
ay, oa, and u>j are examples of such combinations. Each of these
combinations (digraphs) may be pronounced like the long sound of the
first vowel in the combination, although several of the digraphs have
other sounds as well.
DROPPING AND RETAINING E
(Lessons 21-24)
RcLE 16. Silent E retained. In derivatives formed from words
ending with silent e, the e is generally retained when the termination
begins with a consonant.
Exception-. When silent e is immediately preceded by another
vowel except e, it is usually dropped from the derivative, even when
the termination begins with a consonant.
Rule 17. Silent E omitted. In derivatives formed from words
ending with silent e, the e is generally omitted when the termination
begins with a vowel.
Exception. In verbs ending in ie, ye, oe, and ee, the e is retained
before 7?) j;.
Rule 18. E before A or 0, after C or G. In derivatives formed
from words ending with silent e following c or g, the e is usually
retained when the termination begins with a or o.
RULES FOR DOUBLING CONSONANTS
(Lessons 25-28)
Rule 19. (a) Monosyllables and words accented on the last syllable,
ending in a single consonant (except x or h), preceded by a single
vowel, double that consonant when adding a teimination beginning
with a vowel.
(ft) If the accent is thrown back to the first syllable in the deriva-
tive word, the consonant is not doubled.
X RULES
Rule 20. The final consonant is not doubled in derivatives formed
by the addition of a termination beginning with a vowel, when (a) a
diphthong or digraph precedes the final consonant of the word, or
(6) when the accent of a word ending in a single consonant falls on
any other syllable than the last, or (c) when the word ends in two
different consonants.
Exceptions. In a few words ending in g the final consonant is
doubled, that it may not be pronounced likej.
RULES FOR EI AND IE
(Lesson-s 29-32)
Ei geiieralh' has the sound of e as in conceive ; but it may be sounded
like a as in neighbor, e as in heifer, I as in height, i as in foreign.
le generally has the sound of e as in achieve ; but it may be sounded
like e as in patient, I as in pie, "i as in sieve ; and when followed by u
or w like u as in view.
Rdle 21. "When sounded like e, use ei after c, and ie after any other
consonant. (There are very few exceptions. )
Rule 22. When sounded like a, use ei.
Rule 23. When not sounded like e or a, ie is generally employed
(even after c) .
Exceptions. Ei is used in a few words (generally scientific terms
from the Latin, Greek, or Modern German) pronounced like i, and in a
few words pronounced like i or e.
RULES FOR FINAL Y
(Lessons 33, 34)
Rule 24. (a) When final y is preceded by a consonant it is usually
changed to i when any termination is added except one beginning with i.
(6) When y follows t it is changed to e when o%is is added,
(c) The y is usually unchanged in derivatives of adjectives of one
syllable, and in derivatives of adjectives formed by adding hood, like,
or ship.
Rule 25. When final y is preceded by a vowel, it is usually un«
changed in derivatives.
CEDE
(Lesson 34)
Rule 26. Most words ending in the sound sed are spelled cede ;
but three are spelled ceed, and one sede.
RULES
XI
IZE, ISE, YZE
(Lessons 35, 36)
(Pronounced iz)
Rule 27. Ize is the more common ending. A number of words
which are derived through the French are spelled with ise ; a few
words from the Greek are spelled yze.
In lessons 35 and 36 most of the common words ending in ise or yze
are given, together with a number of words with the more common
spelling ize. Most words in general use not given in these lessons
may be correctly spelled with ize.

Words ending in able and ible are difficult to distinguish.
About four iifths of all English words with either of these terminations
end in able. Words from the Latin are either able or ible, depending
on the root from which they come. Anglo-Saxon words are always
able.
Lessons 5.3, 54, and 55 include, in addition to a number of words
ending in able, most of the common words which are spelled with
ible, with the exception of words which may be formed from these
by addition of a prefix.

HOW TO USE THE DICTIONARY
Every student should know how to use the dictionary to gain in-
formation regarding spelling, the division of words into syllables, the
pronunciation of words, their origin, and their meaning.
The first column in the Review Lessons consists of words which
occur in one of the four preceding lessons ; the second column con-
tains words which have occurred in any preceding lesson ; in the last
column are given new words which are to be looked up at home in a
dictionary.
In making use of the dictionary the first essential is that the student
should know the alphabet ; he should know the relative position in
the alphabet of any given letter. Brief class drills on alphabetizing
will help to give this ability.
The pronunciation in most dictionaries is inclosed in parentheses
immediately following the word. The teacher should make sure that
the student properly understands the signs used in respelling.
Frequently a number of definitions are given for a word. In
Webster's New International Dictionary definitions are usually given
in their historical order, that the development of the word may be
shown. The attention of the student shoidd be called to the fact that
the first definition given is often not the most common meaning of the
word.
The origin and derivation of words is usually shown in the dic-
tionary.-- The language from which the word originally came and the
changes through which it has passed can thus be learned. In many
cases a knowledge of the derivation of a word will give a better under-
standing of the present meaning of the word.
After the definition of many words a list of synonyms will be found.
A study of these synonyms frequently helps materially in giving a
proper understanding of the word.
The instructor should require the students to look up in a dictionary
the words in the third column of each of the Review Lessons and be
able to give, not only the spelling of the word, but its division into
syllables, its pronunciation, and its most common definition. If the
Review Lessons are used in this manner they can be made of great
value to the student.
