Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Lessons in Language: A Book for Intermediate Grades This series of "Lessons in English" comprises two books. Book I, intended to be used within the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, covers either two or three years, according to the amount of time allowed for language work, the age of the pupils, and their previous training. Book II contains a systematic course in grammar and a series of lessons in composition. It amply provides for the English work of the three higher grammar grades. In the preparation of Book I the design has been - (1) To create a liking for good literature by presenting worthy selections to be read, studied, copied, and learned. (2) To help children to talk and write more freely about the many things that they see or know. Suggestive questions have been asked, in order to stimulate thought, to develop clear ideas, and to enable the learner to report more readily, both orally and in writing, what he has discovered. Provision has been made for a great amount of practice in talking and writing. Pains have been taken also to give life, point, and interest to the exercises in composition by varying the method of presentation, and particularly by providing a definite reader or hearer to whom the pupil may address himself. (3) To make children more and more observing - especially in the field of natural science - adding to their knowledge, and leading them to find out for themselves. Many illustrations are set before the children for descriptive and imaginative writing, and help is given in the form of leading questions.
