Pàgina 11 - The Rational Method is a peculiar combination of the word and phonetic methods. It utilizes each for that part of the work to which it is especially adapted.

Pàgina 108 - traction" encountered in an article on the "Lincoln Highway" brought out a discussion of traction engines, their use in plowing, road-building, and trench warfare, why so called, etc. This centered attention upon the stem "tract." As its meaning became clear the following list was elaborated : subtract distract attraction contract extract distraction detract retract subtraction attract contraction extraction A study of the prefixes in these words gave a point of leverage for attacking the meaning...

And in the First Year to Study principally the Tongues, Arithmetic and Algebra; the Second, Logic, Rhetoric and Geometry; the Third, Mathematics and Natural Philosophy; and the Fourth, Ethics and Divinity.
Pàgina 6 - The result is, that more than eleven-twelfths of all the children in the reading-classes in our schools, do not understand the meaning of the words they read ; that they do not master the sense of the reading lessons, and that the ideas and feelings intended by the author to be conveyed to, and excited in, the reader's mind, still rest in the author's intention, never having yet reached the place of their destination.
Pàgina 7 - Boston, — in which there are four or five thousand children, — and it is found to succeed better than the old mode.
