Books with author George S. Alexander

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from A Spelling BookAfter interest in a word has been aroused, the child's mind must be concentrated upon the peculiarity of its spelling and appealed to through all possible avenues, the eye, the ear, and the hand. So clear and strong should be the image formed that it becomes individual, even personal. For this reason, words included in this book have not been classified after the ace, mace, lace fashion, but have been purposely distributed so that each new word invites to fresh attack. There is no less authority for this mode of procedure than William T. Harris, who says that spelling lists should be arranged so as not to bring together a number of words of the same combination, and thereby paralyze the memory, as is too frequently the case in the lists given in spelling-books which, for example, collect in one lesson the words ending in tion, or tain, or ture, or ctous, etc., thus giving the pupil by the first word that is spelled a key to all that follow. In the first grade, however, there is a list of words containing the fundamental phonograms for ear training.The words in the book have not been syllabicated for two reasons that the child's image of the new word may be a unit, and that he may master it more thoroughly by analyzing it for himself.Especial attention is called to the exercises in construction which offer the child a larger practice in the ultimate use to which spelling is put that of composition. They are planned to correlate with the child's life at home and at school and to give him, as need arises, the spelling for particular words. (see index on pages xiii and xiv, also Suggestions to Teachers.) It is believed that in each case the lists of words will be found to include not only words requiring drill, but also words that will lead to a fuller life and a choicer diction.It is certainly desirable for a child to associate modest demeanor, self-control, and august presence with Washington; patience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Spelling BookImproved methods in the teaching of spelling are replacing old ones as rapidly as the modern principle of teaching form through content is gaining recognition in schoolroom practice. The principles underlying the teaching of spelling are precisely those underlying the enriching and shortening of the entire course of study, by which the child takes a short cut to knowl~ edge through an appeal to his interest and the power gained through the cultivation of his mind. So long as we hammer at the child's brain as though it were so much cold steel in the belief that if we hammer hard enough and long enough some impression must be made, so long will the teaching of spelling meet with a greater or less degree of failure.It is a common fallacy for teachers to believe that if they teach the letters of a word, time will fill in the empty form with the proper content. Two things are forgotten in this process: first, that in the human mind nothing dwells in isolation and that the child puts some content into every form he learns a wrong one if he is not supplied with the right one and second, that the child, realizing that his teacher is indifferent to his knowing the content of the word, grows both mentally and morally careless.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What lies beyond the mirror? It was a normal day, nothing exceptional. But 12-year-old Timothy Scott’s world will be changed forever. Plagued with a recurring nightmare of burning eyes and smoke, Timothy is cursed with a unique and powerful imagination. When another night gives way to the same dream, he finds himself alone in the dark. Accompanied only by the friendly voice of an invisible friend he’s never seen, it gives Timothy the chance to see just how powerful his imagination is. Standing in front of an antique mirror, Timothy realizes he is not trapped by his imagination, he is trapped by the fact the world he lives in cannot accept him. Prepare yourself to discover a world of infinite possibility as Timothy learns to wield a power he would never have believed. Timothy must learn the ways of Mielikuvitus, the world beyond the mirror, its customs and routines if he is to face the nightmare figure that has haunted his dreams. Forging alliances with creatures of the land that include unicorns, ecilops, the curious Hegel-Steffi, and so many more, he must learn to tame his mind if he is to wield the fabled Eternal Flame. Timothy will be tested, and beyond all things, the one faith he must learn is faith in himself. An epic adventure awaits those who follow Timothy as he journeys to Mielikuvitus, in what promises to be a story to unite generations. Rekindling the magic, wonder, and adventure of renowned classics such as The Chronicles Of Narnia, the Harry Potter books, Eragon, Percy Jackson, and so many more, be prepared to discover the next story to rip you from your seat and show you a world you long to discover for yourself.
