Excerpt from A Language Series: Book One At the beginning of their school life, children have more or less ability to tell what they know. The English that they use in talking may not be very good, and usually they are not able to write it at all. During the first three years at school, however, they improve in speech, and learn also how to express their thoughts, in a simple way, in writing. During this period of the child's life, a large proportion of time should be, and usually is, given to cultivating the power of observation by the study of plants, animals, and other natural objects that may be obtained in the vicinity of the school. It is not to be expected or desired that this form of study should be methodical or thorough, but it should serve the purpose of leading the child to acquire a store of varied information for more careful study in the near future. It is agreed generally that the systematic study of the English language should begin in the fourth year of the pupils school life, and for many reasons it is thought desirable that children should be provided at this time with a well-graded textbook in English. The main objects that have been kept in mind in the preparation of this series are: - 1. A presentation of the subject matter that will lead the pupil to express his thoughts spontaneously and with some degree of accuracy.
