School; a magazine devoted to elementary and secondary education . aconstructive power over the tool of thought? For this reason whenthey have had sufficient practice in recognising the words standing forcertain objects and actions, they readily learn to take the words apart,and see the individuality of each part without elaborate devices. Similarlythey learn to build up a whole, and later new wholes—the indefinitebecomes definite. The use of nursery rhymes is important. They aid in proper word-recognition, because in this w^ay words in a sentence perform their truefunction; also the childs mind is being developed by the opportunity ofholding larger elements of thought than that contained in the short, one-line sentence.
