Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Course in Spelling: For Public and Private Schools; Complete Course
The outcry against spelling-books, raised a few years ago, resulted from two causes: the poor quality of the books themselves, and the poor use to which they were put. But the banishing of all spelling-books from the schoolroom, as a remedy for the evil, was an illogical process; and the result, in many places, has been one or two generations of poor spellers.
In this case, however, as in many others, extreme meas ures have been followed by reaction. The extremists and those acting under their in?uence are recovering their senses, and the spelling-book is being restored.
