Excerpt from A Manual of Instruction for Infants' Schools: With an Engraved Sketch of the Area of an Infants' School Room and Play Ground, of the Abacus, of a Scheme of Instruction, and the Tables of Numbers
The following Treatise is, as it professes to be, a Manual of Instruction for Infants' Schools. The reader, however, is requested to bear in mind, that a treatise of this character must involve many of the peculiarities which necessarily belong to an establishment, proposing to itself the instruction of infants, from the first dawn of reason,' and that it does not contain a course of instruc tion, which the teacher may adopt without further anxiety of mind.
Concerning the lessons which are placed before the reader in the following Manual, it is necessary to remark, that they are not to be regarded as forming distinct sub jects of instruction, but as, severally, integral parts of a system. The Manual contains, in separate systems, the mode of arranging an Infants' School; the mode of teach. Ing the Art of Reading; the mode of Teaching the Art of Arithmetic; the mode of Teaching the Art of Writing; and, in the last place, a course of Oral Instruction. The lessons may, perhaps, appear unimportant, when indivi dually considered; but if any one is omitted in its place and order, the omission will be found to have destroyed the unity of the system to which it belonged.
