Fourth Book of Lessons for the Use of Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Fourth Book of Lessons for the Use of Schools Of Six roots to each page of reading. It will be of advan tage, therefore, to teach the First Section byprescribing for each Lesson, apage to be spelled, read, and explained, and six roots to be committed to memory. In hearing the Latin and Greek roots, Teachers will be careful to examine their Pupils on the formation of English words from them, by joining prefixes, affixes, and other words: and they will also cause them to give, in addition to the examples in the book, as many English words formed from the same root as they can recollect. The object of this exercise is, to accustom young persons to habits of combination and analysis, as well as to give them a com mand of expressions in their own language. When the Teacher is examining on the Reading Lesson, he will make his Pupils point out all the words of which he has learned the Latin and Greek roots, explain them accord ing to their derivation, and show how they are formed. Each Lesson of roots does not contain all that are to be found in the'reading Lesson; but the First Section of roots contains nearly all that occur in the First Section of Reading Lessons. It is recommended, therefore, that when the whole of that Section has been learned, at the rate of a page of reading and six roots for each Lesson, it should be carefully revised, when the pupils should be able to explain every derivative word which occurs. Having done this, they will proceed to the Second Sec tion of Reading Lessons, and also to the Second Sectio' of Latin and Greek roots, which, containing only thos additional primitives which did not occur in the Fir. Section, has not been arranged in Lessons. Teache will use their own discretion as to the number to be pr scribed for a Lesson; but they will take care to ma] their Pupils continue to apply all thereets'm the Fir.
