Excerpt from The Pacific Coast Speller The author has been led to depart from the usual custom of making two Spelling Books, by the following considerations: economy, convenience in the class room, and the abundant exercise in Orthography af forded by the Pacific Coast Readers, which this work is designed to accompany. Dictation exercises have been given throughout the book. The pupils should be required to write these as they are read by their teacher; thus affording at the same time an excellent drill in spelling, definitions, composition and penmanship. In Parts II and III these exercises are also specially designed to give the pupil valuable information, in marked contrast to the strained, and often inelegant, sentences found as Dictation Exercises in other books. Another peculiar feature is the use of script. It is certainly a discouraging task to undertake to master the forms of all our English words, by the aid of the memory alone. Rules, reason and analogy, will do but little for us in our irregular language. Ive must have, also, the aid of the eye. To this end it is desirable that the word be presented to the eye in the same shape in which our knowledge is to be tested, and applied. We rarely have occasion to spell otherwise than in writing.

Excerpt from Elementary-School Speller IN recent years a number of careful investigations have been made as to the extent of the vocabularies that are employed by adults in personal and business correspondence, and also by pupils in the writ ten work required in Elementary schools. The results of these investigations indicate that in these several fields the number of different words employed is decidedly less than has been generally supposed. Accordingly, many educa tors have suggested that the vocabulary of the spelling book should be limited to the words in practical use in composition, and that ample provision should be made for their imten sive study in the regular drill work of the schoolroom. The elementary-school Speller has been prepared in response to these suggestions. It is planned to cover the formal work in spelling and word-study for the grades below the high school.

Excerpt from Junior High School Speller You cannot afford to neglect spelling. Poor spelling is a stumbling block to success. It is a badge of inferiority. Good spelling is a recommendation. It is taken as a sign of ability. In these days of universal education the man or woman who has never taken pains to learn to spell correctly is apt to be regarded with contempt. Some business firms give a test in spelling to all applicants for a clerical position. Those who make a good grade in this test are given the preference in employment.

Excerpt from Every-Day Speller: Third Book, Grades Five and Six These Every-day Spelling books have been prepared in view of the results of extensive experience with the teaching of spelling, and also of the conclusions of recent investigations respecting (1) the words which should be taught in the ele mentary school because they are likely to be used by the majority of people in every-day life; (2) the ways in which a pupil learns to spell most readily and effectively; and (3) the crucial parts of difficult words to which the learner needs to give particular attention. At the close of the Second, Third and Fourth Books there is given a detailed presentation of all the principles and methods upon which the books are based, and the teacher is referred to this statement for information re garding the grounds upon which words have been chosen for the different grades, and the various methods of teaching them. It will be enough to say here that the authors have endeavored to make spelling books which are closely adapted to the practi cal needs of pupils and teachers in elementary schools. Every word included in these books has been carefully examined with respect alike to the probability of its being of practical value to pupils, and the methods of presenting -it so that it can be read ily and accurately used when once learned.

Excerpt from The New American Primary Speller Fob years past teachers have been demanding a spelling book suitable 'for children. This little work has been prepared by one who, in com mon with his fellow-teachers, has pitied children compelled to memorize long lists of words, many of which they rarely use in after life, and to which they can seldom attach any meaning. We claim for this book a plan simple and methodical. Lessons are first given which illustrate the vowel sounds. Then, beginning at home, a list of words is given suggestive of a detailed description of well-known objects. From home and its surroundings the child is led by easy steps to other familiar places of interest. As his range of vision is extended his vocabulary increases, and thus his language is built up. He needs to know how to spell these words, and he should be taught to weave them into sentences as well as to spell them, for the words are not his until he can so use them.
