NOTES FOR TEACHERS.

AGREEMENT.

Before Lesson 8 is assigned, the pupils may be required to note, in Lessons
6 and 7, the subjects that add _s_ to denote more than one, and then to
mark the changes that occur in the predicates when the _s_ is dropped from
these subjects. In Lesson 8, the predicates may be changed by adding or
dropping _s_, and other subjects may be found to correspond. In Lesson 9,
_s_ may be dropped from the plural subjects, and other predicates may be
found to agree.

to discover rules for themselves, and to state them informally. Exercises
and questions may be so directed that the pupils may draw some such
