SPELLING.
Phonics should begin in the first grade and be systematically taught
through the second and third grades. Written, spelling should begin
at the first of the first grade. Oral spelling should begin as soon as
phonic analysis is begun. Dvision of words'into syllables should be-
gin in the Second Grade, and with greater stress continue through the
Third Grade.

Written spelling should largely predominate over oral spelling. Close
observation is essential in this work. The pupil should observe the
spelling of a word; (1) by critically observing its letters, syllable*, and
the word as a wholes (2) naming the letters in their order with ease
and facility; (8) observing any peculiarity in spelling, and (4) pro-
nouncing the syllables successively as a whole.
Teachers should teach the-spelling of the more important geographi-
cal. biographical, and historical names, selected from other subjects
of the previous grade, and then extend the enumber combinations to
50, so as to include the forty-five combinations of addition. The multi-
plication table of 2’ and 3‘s should be taught immediately following
the building up of the addition aerie* and the children should be shown
the shortening of the process by multiplication and diviaion.
Continue notation and enumeration up to 100 and teach addition of
short columns. The Roman notation to 10 should also be taught. Ex-
tend the fractions of the lower grads to showing concretely the rela-
lions of one-half to two-fourths, one-third to two-sixths, and one-fourth •
to two-fourths, and also teach one-fifth and one-sixth. ‘
The analysis of simple problems in multiplication and division should
be taught. For example: Analysis of a problem like this: If one
tablet cost seven cents, what will be the cost of six tablets? If five
tablets cost twenty-five cents, what will one tablet cost? Many prob-
lems like this, involving one-step analysis, should be carefully solved
by i he class.
A. Class.
Continue the work of the preceding class with combinations to 109
Take the multiplication table ot 4’s and 5’s. Teach writing of Roman
notation to 20. Teach as concretely as possible the subfraction of a
untt of higher order from units of a lower order. To illustrate: If 29
is to be taken from 45 explain by taking toothpicks, and making four
bundles, with 6 left over. Since he cannot take 9 toothpicks from 6 ‘
toothpicks,'he must untie one of the bundles and put with the 6, making
16. From this number he can take 9, leaving 7. Since he has re-
moved one bundle from-four, he only has three left, and to take two
from three would leave one, and seventeen as a difference.
The latter part of this term, the pupil should be taught two-step an-
alysis of problems involving division and multiplication. For ex-
ample, in problems like this: : if five oranges cost twenty-five cents,
what will eight oranges cost? Compare this problem with the suggested
problem in B. Class above: Teach the substance of the first twelve
pages of the 'Myers and Brook's Elementary Arithmetic." The teacher
should use as a gul.de "Prince’s Arithmetic by Grades.” Book Tw. »

mated conversations. Fluency or readiness of uttering successive words,
should be demandedi from th® first grade up, and children should hot
lie allowed to ask the pronuncfation of words while reading in the class.
Modulation is often a good test of intelligent reading. To impress this,
the teachers should select suitable selections and make modulation the
aim of the lesson.
A special aim should usually characterize each reading lesson. Too
many corrections in a single lesson will confuse and discourage the
pupil. The child should, develop© confidence in his ability to read.
Children in the Navasota schools are taught in the first grade to read
by a peculiar combination of the word and phonetic methods called the
Rational Method in Reading, by the presentation of. a large number of
phonograms by which the child should be able to recognize many new
words when seen for the first time. This method is believed to be su-
perior to the Pollard Synthetic method. The teachers of the Second
and third Grades should acquaint themselves with it, in order to con
tinue the application beyond the first grade.
Three objects characterize the teaching of reading: (1) to enable the
child to get the meaning from the printed page; (2) to convey the
thought to others, and (3) to give him a desire to seek the world’s
wisdom from the printed page. Brumbough says: “Reading is think-
Ing along a prescribed line that lies goldenly beneath the flow of words.".
We must accomplish all of these if we succeed in teaching this sub-
ject. ' •

This course of study has been prepared in the interest of the Nayasota
schools, and for the information of patrons, teachers of Grimes county,
and our local teachers.
The bulletin containing the Rules and Regulations is published sepa-
rately, and as a supplement to this Course of Study.
Our school system has long been the pride of the citizenship of
Navasota. The members of the School Board have always been se-
lected by the people from the most substantial and intelligent citizens
of the community. The present efficiency of our school system is
largely the result of the fidellty of the School Board in the selection
and retention ot teachers and the business administration given the
schools. L'1 » •1
The loyalty of the people has enabled the school authorities to secure
adequate funds for the maintenance of the schools. The generous sup-
port 1* evidenced by the fact that for several years the local tax rate
was ths full constitutional limit, and for the present year the local
tax is 482 cents on the hundred dollar*. This has enabled the School 3
Board during the past summer to equip the white school .with new
single desks, increase the laboratory and library facilities, and make
needed improvements on ths building and about the campus. ,
The increased equipment has enabled us to constantly extend our
High School affiliation with the University of Texas, and the other
colleges and universities of this and other States. At the present time
our school is classed in Group 1 by the University of Texas, and afiiia:
tion is maintained in English, History, Mathematics. Including Solid
Geometry, Latin, Physics, Chemistry, and Genhan. Affiliation in
Physiography and additional credit in Historv have been applied for.
While progress has been made many Ideals yet remain unrealized.
An efficient school system is of slow growth. If it is to aceomplish the
ends of its existence, it must possess adequate equipment, supported
by a strong, co-operative public sentiment. liberally supported finan-
cially and directed by a vigorous, capable teaching force. Just in pro-
portion a* we receive these elements of support do our school authori-
ties desire to be held responsible for growth and progre8s.
F READING. " .
Teachers will see that the children stand and hold books properly
• before beginning to read. Give constant attention to pronunciation,
enunciation, and articulation. Purity of utterance is largely dependent
on vowel sounda; -enunciation should stand for the consonant sounds.
Children should know the use of lips, tongue, teeth and throat in enun-
ciation of words. Listen closely for the omittlug of the dentals (d and
t) in such words as commands and acts, or the dropping of the g in
standing and telling. etc. Correct articulation can be impressed by
teaching the division of words into syllables and preventing children
from running separate words of a clause or sentence together. You will
often find, also, that poor articulation is due to bad enunciation.
Good reading is largely the result of accurate stress given to a group
of words: emphasts of a single word, or the correct accent of • single
syllable in the word. Valuable exercises ean lie given bv selecting
words from (be text placed on the board and accented syllables noticed
before beginning the lesson. Model reading by the teacher will prove
‘ helpful in iljustrating the essential Filats of good reading.
observe carefully the voice of the child as he reads. Tone, pitch, arid
intensity are often neglected in reading. Tone should be pleasant and
distinct, but not noisy. Pitch should not be borrowed for the occa-
skin, but natural, without labored effort The force should lx- the happy
mean between the Inaudible and artificial elevated tone sometime* heard
in reading classes.
With the higher grades the pace should be suited to the subject-mat-
ter and the teacher should give some attention to the pace required for
weighty and grave subjects in contrast with easy description or anl-

much as necessary on words and lessons selected from Part One of the
adopted text.
The adopted book’has no diacritical marks, which makes the use of
the dictionary indespensable in all the grades above the third. As n
aid to increasing the child’s vocabulary, words should be carefully de
fined and correctly used in sentences, - Avoid bookish definition* that
do not convey the real meaning to the child. Care should be used to
accept only those definitions that show the child's real knowieage of the
, meaning of words.
In the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades, attention should be given to
rules for spelling and their application In the Seventh Grade some
attention should be given to synonyms, antonyms, and- homonyms, and
to words whose spelling has been changed by the reformed spelling

. Since the number concept arises through mental acvity, the teacher
should teach the child from the beginning to put the'number into ob-
jects by measuring, comparing, and relating familiar things. Number
ideas should be taught by using tooth picks, pencils, buttons, blocks, etc.
Avoid teaching number as a fixed thing (the principal error of the
Grube method), but kep before the child number a* measure. McMur-
ray’s says “The psychological account shows that the natural beginning
of number is a whole needing measurement." Teach the use of stand-

be given the other three fundamental processes, especial emphasis be-
ing given to substraction. Th* teacher should keep in mind in teach-
ing division and multiplication that all operations in Arithmetic
may be rerolved into addition and subtraction. «
In concrete form the subject of enumeration and notation should start
in these classes also. The simple fractional parts one-third nd one-
fourth should also be taught. “Number stories/ both written and oral,
should be made to illustrate the number processes.
