Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Confederate Spelling Book: Interspersed With Choice Reading Lessons in Poetry and in Prose at Once to Please and Instruct Many of Them Conveying Valuable Information and Well Calculated to Make a Fine Moral Impression In presenting to the Public this Elementary work for the use of the Families and Schools of our rising and glorious Confederacy, it is the duty of the Author to make the following explanatory and apologetic statements. Nothing was farther from his mind than the thought of preparing such a work. The suggestions of friends, the extreme necessities of our beleaguered Confederacy, and the great importance of providing an immediate supply of such works on our own soil, have led to this attempt. In the preparation of the work, the Author has deviated from all other plans. And yet this was not done from disrespect of any other authors, nor from any desire to innovate. Adaptation to our wants, as a people, and the securing of the highest good to the children and youth of our country, were his only motives. Any great variety of suitable school books cannot, at once, be prepared and published. "Few and Good," should be our motto. The fact also is, that under the old dynasty, we had "series" after "series" of books in the same department of instruction, vastly beyond what was needed. A series of five or six Readers, for example, is an extravagance which should be avoided. The great importance of spelling, no one can doubt. Long and thorough drilling should be given in that department. But spelling is a task, a dull drudgery, in which children seldom take any delight. It imparts no knowledge of Nature, of Art, or of Duty. It elicits no thought, and affords but little mental culture. Obviously, then, every lesson in spelling should have connected with it an exercise in Reading which is at once pleasing and instructive, affording food for thought, exercise for the several faculties bf the mind, and calculated to produce a good moral impression. Moral principles and noble sentiments transcend all other qualities and attainments. And they should be largely and variously inculcated in the first books that are put into the hands of children and youth.
