General Directions on Teaching Language.

The teacher should ask questions about the objects and incidents of the reading lesson; the most difficult words of the lesson should be placed on the board and used as an exercise in rapid pronunciation and spelling; let the pupils pass rapidly through a paragraph, pronouncing the words of two-syllables, three-syllables, etc.; and, as soon as the advancement of the class will permit, the pupil should pass through a paragraph naming the parts of speech, the phrases, the propositions, and the sentences, now and then classifying them.

Frequently, as a pupil reads, the rest of the class should be required to close their books and turn their attention directly to what is being read; when the reader is through, the teacher should question the listeners carefully until every point of what was read is brought out clearly,—the reading itself to be properly criticised. Rules of punctuation, and those concerning the use of capitals should be deduced from the reading matter, and frequently recited. Quotation marks, the hyphen, and the apostrophe must receive their share of attention.

Geographical terms, allusions, and figures of speech should be noted; let the places mentioned be located and described as in geography. If prominent men are mentioned, let brief biographical sketches be given.

Before beginning the recitation, the teacher should question the class closely in regard to what is set forth or told in the lesson. Give careful attention to position, voice, emphasis, tone, etc. Good reading should strike our attention as being very like good conversation.

As soon as practicable, the pupils should be required to write out as a composition the thoughts and incidents of the lesson. Occasional exercises in parsing and analysis may be given from the reading lesson.

Stories, extracts, etc., should often be read to the class, to be written out by them in their own language. Let attention to the use of correct language be a prominent feature of every recitation. Transformations of easy poems into prose, and descriptions of scenes, real or imaginary, may be used in composition work. Oral and written reproductions of reading lesson must occur frequently. Conversations about familiar and interesting objects will give the teacher an opportunity to correct bad language.

From time to time, as opportunity offers, supplementary reading matter may be used. Throughout the grades, two or three times a week, the pupils should be required to commit choice quotations and to recite them clearly and effectively.

INSTITUTE LESSONS. Primary Arithmetic.

1. Use each of the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, &c.) one at a time, and devise many different ways of illustrating and using each objectively. First, the perception of the number as a whole—then, the analysis of the number. Part of the work should involve subtraction.

2. Each number may be illustrated in many ways by large dots variously grouped on cards. With these cards drill the perception in quickness. Let each pupil arrange a certain number of “counters” in several ways of regular form.

3. On each number, ask every possible variety of question. Let the pupils make problems. Let some be made that are to have a certain given answer.

4. As each number is used, let its script form be learned and made by the pupils. After progressing in this way as far as 4 or 5 (some say to 9) teach the figures. Practice counting objects as far as 20.

5. The exercises for slate work should progress very gradually. A higher number should be introduced only after the pupils can use, with readiness, those below it, in their many and varied combinations. Let there be oral work consisting of easy objective problems illustrative of the slate work.

6. In the black-board work the teacher should use a pointer and call for ready and correct mental recitations, as he points to the various problems.

7. The exercises for slate work may be of several different kinds: as,

(a) 1 and 1 are   .
2 and 3 are   .
&c.

(b) 5 less 1 are   .
6 less 4 are   .
&c.

(c) 2 and   are 6.
and 1 are 5.

(d) 6 less   are 5.
less 2 are 2.

(e) 1 1 1 2 2
1 1 2 2 2
1 2 3 2 3
_ _ _ _ _

The columns of (e) may contain from three to nine figures. The teacher must not lengthen them at any time beyond the ability of the pupils.

(f) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 1 3 9 4 5 6 8 7
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The upper figure is the same in each: the lower figures are different and are arranged miscellaneously. In the advancement, increase the upper row a unit at a time, as far as 11.

8. Teach the use of the signs ×, -, and =, and let the pupils have slate work similar to the following:—

8 × 5 =   .
9 - 6 =   .
&c.

12 -   = 4.
12 -   = 8.
&c.

+ 6 = 9.
+ 3 = 9.
&c.

9. Practice counting objects as far as 100, after which drill frequently in writing and reading the numbers, from the black-board, as far as 100.

10. Use exercises similar to the following:—

(a) 4  4  4  4
9 19 29 39 &c.
_ __ __ __

(b) 7  7  7  7
8 68 18 88 &c.
_ __ __ __

Let every possible combination be learned so well that the result can be given instantly.

11. For variety, along with the preceding, there may be used exercises similar to the following:—

(a) 2  3  2  1
4  0  1  3
0  4  3  9
8  6  4  0
6  7  6  8
9  5  7  5
_  _  _  _

(b) 2 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 5 =   .
4 + 9 + 6 + 1 + 3 =   .

(c) 21  41  22
32  63  33
64  63  53
__  __  __

“Carrying” may now be taught.

12. Practice writing and reading numbers of three, and four, figures. The pupils at the same time may be given exercises similar to the following:—

213
321
132
413
234
___

769
758
897
786
594
___

Take the last example: the pupil should be taught to think through it rapidly, as follows:—4, 10, 17, 25, 34—write the 4 and carry the 3; 3, 12, 20, 29, 34, 40,—write the 0 and carry the 4; 4, 9, 16, 24, 31, 38; write the whole result.

13. Let the pupils learn to read numbers as high as millions. For a few examples, at first, in subtraction, let the numbers in each order of the minuend be greater than the corresponding ones in the subtrahend; as,

98
45
__

1364
631
____

9842
3512 &c.
____

Use practical problems.

14. Next, those examples necessitating “borrowing” or “carrying” may be given; as,

137092
72348
______

6235
4879
____

The method involving “carrying” is the better one. If equals be added to two numbers, their difference is not changed. In the last example, if 10 is added to 5, to equalize it add 1 to 7, for 10 units of one order equal one unit of the next higher. Adding the 1 to the 7 is called “carrying.”

··    2 × 1 = 2
::    2 × 2 = 4
:: :  2 × 3 = 6
:: :: 2 × 4 = 8
&c. &c.

Let the pupils recite the tables orally. Use for drill the following problems:—

987654321
2
_________

123456789
2
_________

With the problem on the board let the pupil recite without the aid of the answer. Similarly use the 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, &c. Along with this part of the work, how to multiply by a number of two or more figures may be taught. Placing the multiplication table in the compact rectangular form found in some arithmetics will be profitable and interesting work.

16. Teach the Roman notation to C; how to tell the time of day; how to make change with money; and how to solve easy exercises in pt., qt., pk., and bu.,—gi., pt., qt., and gal.—and in., ft., and yd.

17. The teacher, using a pointer, should drill the pupils thoroughly on the following table. (Try to acquire speed and correctness).

2 × 2 | 3 × 7 | 8 × 5
3 × 2 | 8 × 3 | 5 × 9
2 × 4 | 3 × 9 | 6 × 6
5 × 2 | 4 × 4 | 7 × 6
2 × 6 | 5 × 4 | 6 × 8
7 × 2 | 4 × 6 | 9 × 6
2 × 8 | 7 × 4 | 7 × 7
9 × 2 | 4 × 8 | 8 × 7
3 × 3 | 9 × 4 | 7 × 9
4 × 3 | 5 × 5 | 8 × 8
3 × 5 | 6 × 5 | 9 × 8
6 × 3 | 5 × 7 | 9 × 9

These constitute the multiplication table with the duplicate combinations cut out, leaving but 36 products to learn in the entire field of the common multiplication table.

18. Let the division tables now be learned.

2 into 2 one time     .
2 into   two times    .
2 into   three times  .
2 into   four times   .
2 into   five times   .
2 into   six times    .
2 into   seven times  .
2 into   eight times  .
2 into   nine times   .
2 into   ten times    .

Let the pupils fill the blanks. Let them learn how often 2 is contained in 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. Also, when the 3’s, 4’s, etc., are learned, use the intermediate numbers that give remainders. Drill in mental work. Give examples after each table is learned; as

2)563480
________

2)7104239
_________

Show how to write the remainder fractionally. Teach the meaning of ½, ⅓, and ¼.

19. Teach long division using easy graded examples.

15)180(
25)625(

13)168(
50)1150(

25)400(
115)32467(

20. Learn the divisors of numbers as high as 100. Method of recitation: Suppose the lesson consists of the numbers 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.

The pupils, with their knowledge of the multiplication table, by experimental work, and from suggestions by the teacher,—prepare their slate work as follows:

The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12.
The divisor of 25 is 5.
The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13.
The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9.
The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14.
29 has no divisors.

In the oral recitation, the first pupil, without referring to his slate, recites as follows:—

The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12; 2 twelves are 24, 3 eights are 24, 4 sixes are 24, 6 fours are 24, 8 threes are 24, and twelve twos are 24.

The next pupil recites as follows: The divisor of 25 is 5; 5 fives are 25.

The third recites: The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13; 2 thirteens are 26, 13 twos are 26.

The fourth recites: The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9; 3 nines are 27, 9 threes are 27.

The fifth recites: The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14; 2 fourteens are 28, 4 sevens are 28, 7 fours are 28, and 14 twos are 28.

The sixth recites: 29 has no divisors; it is a prime number—a number that can be exactly divided only by itself and unity.

INSTITUTE LESSONS. U. S. History.

Most pupils are slow in learning how to study History. The plan here set forth will lead them to understand how closely and intently the eyes of the mind must scan each line, if nothing is to escape their vision.

The teacher selects from the lesson words and expressions indicative of the prominent ideas, and classifies them into those of times, places, persons and miscellaneous items; the most difficult words, for “dictionary work”; and general topics, of which the preceding divisions are analytic elements. These elements thoroughly learned, recited, and properly combined bring into use, language and understanding to help form a foundation for mastering and reciting the general topics. The teacher’s analysis is placed upon the board. From this (or a copy of their own) the pupils may prepare the lesson. First, the pupil is to read (study) his lesson through once or twice, and then test his work by noting how many of the elements of the lesson he can “recite.” To recite an element, a pupil states how (or why) the author has used it, or in what connection it occurs in the lesson. If it denotes a person to tell who he was; if a place to tell where it is; &c.

This recitation is necessarily short, but it brings into use language and understanding to form a foundation for mastering and reciting the general topics.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works.

The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

If you are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

- • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

- • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

- • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
