THE NEW DEPARTURE; 



OR, 



A Natural System of Learning Writing, Spelling, 

 English Grammar and Punctuation 



at the same time. 

 By J. D. SIvOCUNt. 



" The New Departure" is a new application of an old idea, namely that 

 the way to learn to do a thing is to do it. 



It is called a Natural system, because the most essential things of a practic- 

 ally valuable education are learned as a child learns to walk and talk. 



It consists of 24 cards and a tmall chart, the whole done up in a neat and 

 portable case. 



By means of the matter contained thereon, and ita arrangement, any per- 

 son, with pen and ink or pencil may in a very small portion of the time usually 

 spent in acquiring such knowledge, learn to write well, or become A GOOD PEN- 

 MAN ; TO SPELL ACCURATELY a vocabulary of several hundred of ihe most 

 commonly used words ; to write the language correctly, or ENGLISH GRAMMAR, 

 and to point properly the breaks or joints of a sentence, which is PUNCTUA- 

 TION. Each card is complete in itself, and has arranged on one side of it a 

 portion of a vocabulary or list of several hundred such words as a person in 

 every-day life will be most like.y to use. 



These cards are to be copied, for the purpose of learning at the same time 

 to write and to spell correctly. This is the only useful way of learning to 

 spell, and the knowledge of Grammar and Punctuation acquired in this way 

 will be much more permanent than by the ordinary methods of the text-books.
