PREFACE. 
 
 A good education is entirely dependent on an art- 
 istical execution of a generous design. 
 
 The artist may employ his genius to develop a 
 beautiful semblance of "iht graceful ideal" from a 
 block of ice, to little or no purpose. The contractor 
 may fill a slough with blocks of Parian marble, to the 
 lasting benefit of man. The teacher may lead the 
 pupil to store the mind with a vast amount of facts, 
 useful and useless. Has the artist a right to waste his 
 "talent" on a worthless object? Has a contractor a 
 right to employ material too costly, even on a good 
 work f Has a teacher any right to lead a youth to seek 
 useless facts ? 
 
 Nor should an elementary book have any other than 
 practical matter on its pages. Neither should its 
 pages be a picture gallery, for the mere amusement 
 of the pupil. Every letter, word, and cut should 
 be a something to be remembered t thought of, or imi- 
 tated. 
 
 These axioms have been considered of primary im- 
 portance in preparing this book for the use of parents 
 and teachers, by their co-laborer, 
 
 George C. Mott.

 TABLE OF ELEMENTS. 
 
 The child should be taught, progressively, the 
 elements represented by the letters ; that some 
 of the letters are employed to represent differ- 
 ent sounds or elements ; and the marks em- 
 ployed to indicate the element represented by the 
 letter. The following table contains all the let- 
 ters with the marks employed to represent the 
 regular elements used in this book,

 NOTE. 
 
 The pupil may be required to write the sen- 
 tences, as every word used in this book is given in 
 script in the models of slate exercises. 
 
PLAN. 
 
 The flan of this Book is to teach the child elementary 
 spelling, beading, and drawing, and progressively to de- 
 velop its faculty of number. 
 
 ARRANGEMENT. 
 
 Each lesson occupies a page, and is in six parts : 
 
 1. A few elements of words to be learned ; 
 
 2. The mode of combining them into words ; 
 
 3. The method of naming the letters constituting a word, and 
 
 its pronunciation ; 
 
 4. Speaking or reading words at sight ; 
 
 5. A model drawing to be imitated ; and, 
 
 6. A few questions to exercise the faculty of number. 
 
 TOOLS. 
 
 The child should be provided with 
 A Book; 
 
 A good Slate (size, 6 by 8 inches) ; and 
 A Pencil. 
 
 METHOD OP TEACHING. 
 
 1. Commence with the column on the left, and teach the ele- 
 ments represented by the letters, and the mode of combining 
 them into words. 
 
 2. In the column on the right, teach the mode of naming the 
 letters in each word, and its pronunciation ; 
 
 3. In the center column teach the child to speak the words at 
 sight ; and below, to read them combined into sentences ; 
 
 4. Require the child to imitate the model drawings, and to 
 write the sentences ; and, 
 
 5. Then the questions ought to be used as a mental exercise. 
 
 PROGRESS. 
 
 The progress of the child is greatest when it is made to 
 master one lesson before commencing another.
