Excerpt from Word Lessons: A Complete Speller Adapted for Use in the Higher Primary, Intermediate, and Grammar Grades; Designed to Teach the Correct Spelling, Pronunciation, and Use of Such Words Only as Are Most Common in Current Literature, and as Are Most Likely to Be MisspelledIs the spelling-book losing ground? - It is said that nineteenth-twentieths of those examined for the Public Service under the competitive system in England fail in spelling. Those placed by government in control of educational affairs report, "Spelling is not what it ought to be. Text-books should be used for this subject." "What we want is to teach spelling and not merely to practice spelling. A spelling-book revival in England seems to be the result.In the foremost educational center of our own country, the experiment of teaching spelling without the aid of a special text-book has been tried with results so far from satisfactory that the spelling-book has been restored. Wherever the subject of spelling has been most seriously considered, a strong reaction in favor of a suitable text-book is evident.Is there a substitute for the spelling-book? - In the lower primary grades, the work of copying words and sentences from the black-board and of writing exercises in connection with "oral language-lessons" is undoubtedly far more profitable than conning the "primary speller" as now constructed.For the more advanced grades,copying from the reading-book, writing compositions and making abstract of daily lessons in geography, history, etc., afford good practice in spelling; but will and can the average teacher, without sacrifice of the time belonging to the subject matter of the "lessons in geography, history, etc.," exercise that unremitting vigilance in criticism, correction, and recorrection which is necessary to make these "abstract" in any measure a substitute for daily exercise in the spelling, pronunciation, and use of short lists of judiciously selected words?there are certain difficulties in spelling which are well known to be common and almost universal. So far as these are found in words that are, or should be, in the pupil's vocabulary, is it not more economic to meet them directly and persistently than to wait for them to occur incidentally at long intervals in the work of copying or of general composition?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgotten Books

Children are not enthusiastic in praise of grammar, most parents recall without pleasure their own trials with it, and many men of culture and of wisdom openly advise its banishment from the school-room, But two causes can be assigned for this wide-spread aversion to grammar. There must prevail a belief either that there is another and a better way to correct expression than that along which grammar conducts one, or that the difficulties in this, the only path to it, are so serious that few ever surmount them and reach the desired goal. There is, we believe, no other and better way to correct writing and speaking ;turning a child loose into the fields of literature will not, we are sure, put his feet upon such a road. De Quincey says that through a circuit of prodigious reading he has met with only two or three writers who did not sometimes violate the accidence or the syntax of English grammar, and any one knows that ordinary writers trip on almost every page.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Brainerd Kellogg (August 15, 1834 - January 9, 1920) was born in Champlain, New York. He was a Tutor (1860-1861) and Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature (1861-1868) at Middlebury College in Vermont, United States. From 1868 to 1907 he was professor at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He published a number of influential education books, some of which are available on Project Gutenberg.Kellogg was the author of Rhetoric; History of the English Language. With Alonzo Reed, he jointly authored Graded Lessons in English; Higher Lessons in English; A One Book Course. He authored a variety of textbooks on English writing and literature, including a series on the works of William Shakespeare.Most methods of diagramming in pedagogy are based on the work of Alonzo Reed and Brainerd Kellogg in their book Higher Lessons in English, first published in 1877, though the method has been updated with recent understanding of grammar. Reed and Kellogg were preceded, and their work probably informed, by W. S. Clark, who published his "balloon" method of depicting grammar in his 1847 book A Practical Grammar: In Which Words, Phrases & Sentences are Classified According to Their Offices and Their Various Relationships to Each Another. Some schoolteachers continue to use the Reed-Kellogg system in teaching grammar, but others have discouraged it in favor of more modern tree diagrams.
