Following the vocabulary the teacher will find some special lists,
placed there for reference. They will provide some very interesting
supplementary lessons. They are:
1. A list of words used in medicine, and the names of diseases. Many of
these present difficulties. Their teaching is optional with the teacher.
2. A list of words having more than one correct spelling. The simpler
spelling is usually the one to be preferred.
3. A list of words frequently mispronounced. The teacher should know
this list and by it check the pupil’s pronunciation.
4. A list of foreign words which have come into more or less frequent
use in our language. The correct pronunciation should be noted.
5. Two lists of foreign words and phrases, chiefly from the French and
Latin. Though only a small percentage of the pupils will use these in
writing they occur with such frequency in the books which they will read
that it is desirable that they shall have access to them.
6. A list of common abbreviations. These need to be learned since their
use is frequent.
