Abstract
THIS is a book for the use of a teacher of very young pupils. It is divided into three parts. Part i. (82 pages) is concerned with “number exercises,” and consists of thirty-eight lessons, each one of which we may suppose to occupy the child for one day. Each of these lessons consists of a series of questions or directions given to the pupil, such as “hold up seven fingers,” “find, by using splints, the half of ten units,” &c. A marked feature of this part of the book is the beautiful series of coloured pictures of roses, apples, grapes, strawberries, oranges, finches, redbirds and other interesting objects which it contains, while the interest and curiosity of the young pupil are further secured by a good drawing of a spider and his web, as well as by an excellent picture of a pair of boots.
