What Words Say: A Practical Analysis of Words, for Use in Elementary Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from What Words Say: A Practical Analysis of Words, for Use in Elementary Schools The accompanying notes are designed to show that the use Of a word ever conforms to its analysis, and that the analysis is never misleading. If the use is figurative a study of the metaphor will show that it is ever an appropriate, and invariably a happy one.* After the analysis and exact sense Of a word have been mastered the teacher is advised to require the use Of the word in a few original sentences. This application will tend to fix the whole matter more fully in the mind; and it will tend to bring out the different, but' always consist ent, shades Of use.
