3d.--_That frequent "Reviews" are essential to the rapid and thorough
advancement of pupils_. By this means the words imperfectly learned
are again brought to their attention and thoroughly memorized. That
these "Reviews" ought to take up the new words in a different order and
arrangement, in order to test the ability of the pupil to recognize them

should be written in the form of a new exercise, as on pp. 36, 44, 52,
60, and 68 of this book. 4th.--_That thorough and systematic drill in
Spelling is absolutely necessary_. That the "Reading Reviews" should

they were intended to review, and no others, so that they can be used

in the "Spelling Reviews" should be indicated by the diacritical marks
of Webster, so that they can be used for either "Oral Spelling" or
"Phonic Drill."

5th.--_That the "Script" from which the pupil gets his first and most
lasting impressions should be of large size and accurate form_, and

to cultivate flexibility of voice and to break up the dreary monotone so
frequently heard among children.

7th.--_That the lessons of a book of this grade should not average more
