Appendix
Following the vocabulary the teacher will find some special lists, placed there for reference. They will provide some very interesting supplementary lessons. They are:
1. A list of words used in medicine, and the names of diseases. Many of these present difficulties. Their teaching is optional with the teacher.
2. A list of words having more than one correct spelling. The simpler spelling is usually the one to be preferred.
3. A list of words frequently mispronounced. The teacher should know this list and by it check the pupil’s pronunciation.
4. A list of foreign words which have come into more or less frequent use in our language. The correct pronunciation should be noted.
5. Two lists of foreign words and phrases, chiefly from the French and Latin. Though only a small percentage of the pupils will use these in writing they occur with such frequency in the books which they will read that it is desirable that they shall have access to them.
6. A list of common abbreviations. These need to be learned since their use is frequent.
- Silently corrected typographical errors and variations in spelling.
- Archaic, non-standard, and uncertain spellings retained as printed.
