Synopsis

Timely collection of early education songs, prayers, and daily lessons for infant schools.

This third edition compiles a complete course of lessons and a wide hymn collection designed for young learners in schools or private families. The book pairs practical instruction with musical tunes, helping teachers and parents build daily routines, moral lessons, and early literacy through song and shape of the day.

The volume offers a practical plan of a school day, with a schedule for morning and afternoon activities, plus a large array of hymns and moral songs that can be sung to many Tunes contained in the book. It includes prayers, catechisms, and light educational matters (numbers, letters, weight measures, and basic arithmetic) presented in a classroom-friendly format. The compiler notes small textual adaptations to better fit infants and emphasizes guidance for adult supervisors.
