About this product

Product Information

From the PREFACE. The Report on the Examination in English for Admission to Harvard College, June, 1906, called attention among other things to the requirement thatcandidate will be accepted whose work is seriously faulty in spelling. The report devoted a page or two to revealing the frequent failure of graduates of secondary schools to meet this fundamental requirement in English. A questionnaire which I sent to the English departments of twenty-four other universities asking whether their entering students were sufficiently prepared in spelling, and whether, in their judgment, high schools should teach spelling as such, developed the fact that few universities are satisfied with the spelling of entering students, while practically all are emphatic in declaring that high schools should teach spelling. Inquiry among business men of Chicago developed practically the same attitude regarding the need of spelling, correct orthography in business letters being regarded as indispensable to hold trade and to reflect credit upon the firm. In the April, 1908, number of Education, I published the results of some of these inquiries and also described a list of words which my own high school and a neighboring university are using - words selected with the enthusiastic help of Mrs. Anna Tilden Bacon, from English themes in high schools and colleges, from high school texts, business correspondence, civil service examinations, and the English classics of the college entrance requirements. This list is w offered in book form. * * * * * * * Suggestions to the Teacher Let every student have a book. It takes too much time to copy lists from the board; besides, students often copy words as they commonly misspell them. Do t burden yourself with the daily correction of spelling papers. The following is a satisfactory method of handling the work in Part One. Let the words be prounced to the class and written in ink in a spelling blank (costing five cents), word to be erased or written twice. Let the students exchange books and check the errors as the teacher spells. Let each mark the standing and write his name above the work he has checked. Collect these books and look them over carefully the first two or three days of the term and at irregular times thereafter, perhaps once a month, to get the standing. An unchecked error counts against the student who has failed to check it. Once a month each student should make a list of all the words he has misspelled and write them in his spelling blank for special study. Parts Two and Three should be mainly oral. If this method is followed, it will take about ten minutes from a recitation twice a week, or oftener, if desired. By confining this work to English classes, it may be made to correlate with English and with other studies so as to keep pace naturally with the student's growing vocabulary.
