Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: SUGGESTIONS FOR THE USE OF BOOK TWO ix The amount of work to be covered in each grade will depend somewhat upon the time when Part II, Grammar, is taken up. In many schools this will not be until the seventh year. Such postponement of formal grammar until later in the course the authors think preferable.

Two Plans are here given. Plan One: ? Language Sixth year, I-XXXIII. Seventh year, XXXIV-LX. Eighth year, LXI-LXXX. Grammab Sections One and Two. Sections Three and Four. Plan Two: ?

In ungraded schools, as in graded schools, the Grammar may be taken up at the same time as the earliei language lessons or later. A LITTLE TALK WITH THE PUPILS RULES FOR COMPOSITION WRITING 1.
