THE CAT 



SUGGESTIONS 



The lessons on the cat are suggestive only; the work is 

 planned to last the whole month. It is designed for the little 

 children, particularly, who have just entered school, and to 

 whom school work is apt to grow tiresome after the novelty 

 wears off. 



Much easy reading can be combined with the lessons, by 

 drawing little pictures in place of the nouns in the first read- 

 ing lesson, as, 



See Pussy's (picture of two eyes). 

 This is her (picture of tail). 



Children love to make cats out of two circles, and if made 

 good size, with sandpaper glued across the back, they make 

 good match-scratchers. The mat on which kitty sleeps may 

 be woven, and the articles in the story drawn and cut, viz., 

 Belle's basket, the saucer, bottle of milk, stalks of catnip, a 

 ball she plays with, the tree she climbs, the cat in different 

 positions, and the rhymes and songs illustrated.
