Página 40 - Do you know what a quadruped is? I said. Either they did not know, or did not understand me, for they were silent. I told them that quadruped simply meant an animal with four legs. Now, said I, you may write down the names of all the animals you have seen, read or heard of with four legs. A long list was soon produced and corrected as before. Josiah, said I, do you know what a quadruped is ? An animal which has four legs, he replied. I gave examples of a few bipeds and quadrupeds ; and asked him...
Página 47 - You may ply the usual energies of your administration, but the resistance is abnormal. You may flog, but every blow uncovers the needle-points of fresh stings. You may protest and supplicate, scold and argue, inveigh and insist, the demon is not exorcised, nor even hit, but is only distributed through fifty fretting and fidgeting forms. You will encounter the mischief successfully, when you encounter it indirectly.
Página 39 - ... &c. One of the pupils at first observed, that there were but few things in the room. But he soon found, on observing more closely and thinking more intensely, that the number was much greater than he had previously supposed.

When each had extended his list as far as he could, I requested him to count them, [and set...

Página 39 - I WAS resolved on making a thorough experiment in teaching English Grammar. It was perfectly obvious that as Etymology was usually taught in schools, it was not only not understood by pupils, but irksome, in the extreme. I thought I had at last devised a plan of inculcating this part of grammar with more than usual success, as well as in a manner which would be agreeable to the pupils. These points being settled, the question was, when and where to make the experiment. Its novelty would so attract...

Página 40 - I told him that he might. A long list having been completed by each pupil, he was required to read it, mark the errors in orthography, and correct them as before. Care was taken not to make the lesson tedious. It was not expected they would, at these first efforts, succeed in writing down every name, that might have occurred to me.
Página 39 - But the inclemency of the weather just at the time when we made the beginning, together with other unfavorable circumstances, diminished the class to about ten ; of whom, there were about an equal number of males and females.
