Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Era Word Book, Vol. 1
These lists are alphabetically arranged; no other arrange ment seems necessary. This enables the pupil to find any word conveniently and gives him a needed lesson in the use of the dictionary. A correct visual image is the basis of good spelling. The greater part of our knowledge of spelling is obtained by the impression of the printed word upon the eye in our ordinary reading. For this reason it is thought best not to change the appearance of the words by separating them into syllables, or by disfiguring them with accent or dia critical marks, believing that the natural form of the word, as usually met with in reading, is the form which should be fixed in the pupil's mind through the power of visual imagery, and that when thus fixed, it can be recalled in its proper form as well and as easily as the face of a friend.
