Excerpt from Columbian Language Lessons

Object, idea and word are so related that any one of these being given, the other two arise spontaneously. At first, object-lessons and picture-lessons enable the pupil to realize vividly the meaning of words, but he may return to objects either through words or ideas. Hence in some lessons we have advanced from the picture or object; in others, from words, and in still others, from ideas suggested by questions to a fuller expression of thought. As the process of thinking involves a going from one idea to another, the combining of these ideas and the final viewing of them as one entire thought, in like manner the teaching of the sentence should express all the elements and phases involved in the process of thinking. This book is so planned that the pupil will unconsciously pass through the various stages of thinking while he is learning the forms and laws of good English.

While technical grammar is not neglected, the importance of imbedding in the mind the common facts of English speech is emphasized through hundreds of oral and written exercises. The book will serve as an Elementary Rhetoric.

The correlation of spelling, reading and language is worked out in the Columbian Speller, Readers and Grammars. The province of each is distinctly marked, and the one will aid in making instruction in the others more thorough.
