Glass (Bev. Erviu Bird). [Cree syllabic 

 instruction charts. Toronto, 1887. ] 



Four charts, each about 18 by 24 inches. The 

 first is entitled "Syllables, Lesson I," and con- 

 sists of the Cree characters with the Roman 

 equivalents beneath; the second, "Exercise, 

 Lesson 11," consists of easy words and phrases, 

 syllabic and Roman ; the third, ' ' Appendages, 

 Lesson III," and the fourth, "Explanations, 

 Lesson IV," teach the use and value of the 

 small marks found usually at the end of a syl- 

 lable. 



The charts are for the use of the Cree In- 

 dians of Alberta Territory.

In a letter to me dated December 4, 1888, 

 Mr. Glass speaks of his work as follows: "I 

 am now preparing text-books in these syllables 

 for our Indian mission schools and for the 



Glass (E. B.) — Continued. 



camps. They are to be in English and syllables 

 in the same book. These syllabic publications 

 are not intended to supersede English, but to 

 meet a present want, and give the Cree tribes 

 some literature in their own language, as long 

 as it prevails as a language." 



And under date of August 27, 1889, ho gives, 

 me this further information: 



"The ' Primer and language lessons ' as a text 

 book for our Indian schools, is now going 

 through the press. I am afraid you will not get 

 a copy of it in time for your Bibliography of the 

 Algonquian Languages. It is intended as a 

 reader and language instructor, and contains 

 40 lessons, each lesson in English and also in 

 Cree syllables on the opposite page. The book 

 is for the purpose of teaching Indians to read 

 and converse in English, while the syllabic^ 

 equivalent lessons are for the teachers to ex- 

 plain the English to pupils, and also for the use 

 of missionaries and Indians who may wish ta 

 study the Cree syllables and grammar. 



I have prepared the lessons myself, and als» 

 written them in the syllables in the idiomatic 

 Cree, as dictated by Rev. John McDougall, 

 who is the best Cree (white man) scholar in the 

 North West."

(E. B.) 



Mr. Glass was born in Hastings Co., Canada,, 

 in 1852, of Irish Methodist descent. He taught 

 school in Ontario and was graduated in arts at. 

 Victoria University, Cobourg, Ont., in 1882. He 

 has been ten years a missionary amongst the 

 Crees and preaches to those Indians without 

 the aid of an interpreter. His Indian school 

 secured the prize of $50 awarded by the Do- 

 minion government for proficiency during the 

 year ending June, 1889. He has been asked to 

 prepare a Cree dictionary but has not yet 

 (Aug. '89) begun the work.
