THE purpose of this book is to assist the pupil in using 

 words correctly in any one of three relations, viz*. : in 

 speech, in oral reading, and in written composition. 

 Its exercises recognize the laws of association, and provide a 

 systematic drill in orthography, orthoepy, word-building, word- 

 analysis, and other phases of word-study. 

 ^[ The vocabulary of the book is made up of words used 

 by the pupil in his other studies, and in his every-day 

 experience. The work is clearly laid out and graded ; 

 reviews are amply provided, both by duplication and by 

 dictation work. 



^[ PART ONE contains a vocabulary of some 4,000 word- 

 forms in common use, selected and graded with great care. 

 The arrangement is such that there is afforded a variety of 

 exercises, each containing an average of 20 words. The 

 phonetic, the topical, the grammatical, and the antithetic and 

 synonymic methods have received special treatment. Dicta- 

 tion exercises, including memory gems, illustrative sentences, 

 and reviews, are also given. 



^| PART TWO includes a vocabulary of about 5,000 word- 

 forms, the exercises being devoted to topical lessons, phonetic 

 drills, pronouncing drill, grammatical forms, synonyms and 

 antonyms, applications of rales of spelling, drill on homo- 

 phones, word-building and word-analysis, words the deriva- 

 tion of which is indicated, and derivatives from Latin and 

 Greek roots. Great emphasis is laid on prefixes and suffixes,
