Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual for Teachers to Accompany the Primary Language Charts To speak and write the English language correctly and with fluency is the highest accomplishment that school training can confer. It is an accomplishment that cannot be got out of any system of rules. The child learns language by hearing it spoken, and if he does not hear good English, if his own errors are not corrected, he cannot be expected to speak anything but bad English. Good English, then, is a habit. It is constant use and practice, under vigilant correction, that make good writers and speakers, and the proper habits must be formed before the grammatical text-book can be put into the child's hands, or else not formed at all. The study of grammar has reflective uses for maturer minds, but no bad speaker ever became a good one by the deliberate application of the rules of grammar to his speech. It is now agreed among educators that the study of forms should precede the analysis of functions; that a great variety of practice should go before the rules, which are merely the condensed expression of what the best practice is. They are agreed that grammar cannot be effectively taught to pupils under ten or twelve years of age, and that the earlier lessons in language are of the greatest importance, and would be of the highest value even if the technical grammar were never reached. Accordingly, these charts have been expressly prepared for use in those classes in which language-training is without book - where the teaching of English, though deriving some help from the reading-book, is principally oral.
