About this ebook
Learning to spell the Englis language correctly is the most difficult task of school life. Hence correct spelling is rightly regarded as a sign of culture and bad spelling as indicating a lack of it. Orthography cannot be taught in twelve easy lessons : it can be acquired only by hard study. The Word-Book is neither a 'primary speller' nor a dictionary. It omits the alphabet and the "ab ab's" on the one hand, and on the other, quite a number of sesquipedalian words common to all old-time 'spelling books.' Spelling is the leading idea ; but at the same time a foundation is laid for the subsequent study of words and of language
