METHODS OF TEACHING ORTHOGENY, SYNTAX, AND INTEODUCTION. PROPER AGE FOR COMMENCING THE STUDY OPGRAMMAR. There is no subject of school study about wh»ichthere is a greater disparity of opinion prevailingamong teachers than that of the age at which chil-dren may commence the study of Grammar. Some teachers would have children commenceGrammar as the first stvdy in books after theyhave learned to read well, or even before ; others ofour best educators would defer it till the facultiesof the mind are all measurably developed; a thirdclass would not have Grammar studied at all, as adistinct science. I conceive that, by an adapta-tion of which the subject is susceptible, childrenmay commence Grammar as soon as they can readfluently and intelligibly. Geography may be in-troduced before children can read fluently, as ameans of securing study in reading lessons, and oftraining the hand and eye in drawing maps
