Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The series of lessons in this Bulletin is the outcome of an attempt to make certain language forms matters of habit; that is, to so fix them that when the necessity for their use arises, the child need not go over in his mind any definition previously learned, nor think of any rule by which he could choose the correct form to be used. The general idea has been to get the attention upon the form first, and gradually to lead the child to the place where the subject-matter only is in mind. The devices given are those used by the student-teachers in the Training Department of the San Francisco State Normal School. They are by no means original, having been taken from many sources and worked over by the teachers, from whose reports they have been taken for this Bulletin. The method used is to bring the proper setting before the child, either actually or in imagination. The teacher gives the proper form to be used, and the child imitates her by using the form. The best results will come if the attention of the child is exclusively upon the form we wish to teach him, without too much paraphernalia to divide that attention. To illustrate: The child is to be taught to use the form, I saw, in telling about something he has seen before. The teacher produces the proper conditions by walking to the window, looking out at some object, then returning to her desk, and saying, I saw a man. The child then imitates her. Next instead of actually reproducing the condition, the teacher does so in imagination, which is one step in advance. On my way to school this morning I saw a pretty flower. Tell me what you saw. The times over, or spiral method, as it is usually called, is found to be very effective. The first time over consists entirely of oral work, before the children master their pens or crayon well enough to give their attention to what they are writing, rather than to th
