The book is intended especially for use of pupils in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. It may, however, be adjusted to suit different conditions found in more advanced classes. If " Primary Language Lessons" was used in the last half of the second grade and through the third, the pupil is well prepared to begin " Intermediate Language Lessons " in the fourth grade. Attention is called to the following features: Literature studies, not only in poetry, but also in fine prose selections. Letter writing on subjects that appeal to child life, and including simple forms of business letters. Drill on correct forms of speech and words often misused. Many exercises to increase the pupil's vocabulary. The making of outlines, and writing and talking from outlines. The various forms in composition, including description, narration, conversation, dialogue, debate, and the writing of rhymes. Both reproduction and original work in oral and written composition. Sequence and careful gradation in arrangement of lessons. The careful treatment of capitalization and punctuation. Observation lessons which furnish material for talking and writing. Lessons on civic subjects, -- such as the school, the court, the state, cleanliness of streets, and needed improvements. The oral composition in connection with the observation lessons not only aid the pupil in telling readily and accurately what he has seen, but give him self-possession and train him to logical thought. When an essential fact is taught, the pupil is given practice in using the fact again and again, through dictation, reproduction, and original composition. Thanks are due to authors
