PITMAN'S PHONETIC READERS. " If a child of six years of age, and of average intelligence, receives a twelve months' course of phonetic instruction before being allowed to attempt the romanic orthography, and then an eighteen months' course of instruction in romanic reading and spelling ; at the end of that time, the child so taught will fead anything placed in its hands with ease and fluency, and sp«ll wfth greater accuracy than the majority of children who now leave school at the age of fifteen, after spending from six to eight years at school. If this plan were adopted, 95 per cent of the children would leave school thoroughly well educated in reading and spelling, besides having a fair knowledge of other subjects.*' First Book in Phonetic Reading, with " Directions to Teachers " how to use it, id.
