"Mr. John Heywood, of Manchester, has really produced a novelty in Copy Books. The difficulty that has always been experienced by the teacher is to prevent the pupil from copying his own writing. By the old method, he would probably imitate the writing model in the first and second line, but s on he would become too indolent to lift his eyes to the top of the page, and content himself with reproducing the letters or words immediately preceding those upon which he is engaged in writing. The old slips' of our young days partly accomplished this, as they could be removed down the page so as to cover the line just execu ed by the writer himself. But Mr. Heywood's scheme is much more desirable-it meets the difficulty with great success. It is an ingenious process. By means of the fly-leaves, one of which covers the left-hand age, and the other the right, the pupil has always his model in a line parallel with that in which he himself has to write, and so finds it much easier to imitate the copper-plate model than simply to follow his own writing." Bookseller, May, 1869.

"We have no doubt many of our readers are familiar with these copybooks. Their aim is to enable schoolmasters to enforce Mulhauser's dictum. We think the idea a good one."-Papers for the Schoolmaster. John Heywood's Copy Slips. 3d. each.

Lesson 4.-Thursday.-Grammar. Learn and Write. ANALYSIS OF SENTENCES.

SUBJECT AND PREDICATE.

Analysis means a separation into parts. Hence analysis of sentences is the separation of a sentence into its various parts, and is but a particular application of the rules of Syntax.

A sentence is a complete thought expressed in words, or a collection of words that make complete sense by themselves.

A statement that we make about something is a sentence.
Boys play. Time flies. John is ill.

Here we make statements about boys, time, and John; and these
statements are they play, it flies, and he is ill.

Every sentence must consist of two parts.

(1) The something we think about or make a statement about. (2) The statement that we make.

The something we think about, or speak of, is called the subject. The statement made about it is called the predicate.

The SUBJECT is the thing spoken of or thought about.

The PREDICATE is the statement about the subject.

Ex. 1, Arrange the subjects and predicates in columns.-The ship sails. Tom ran. The cat mews. The hen clucks. The water is cold. Where is the ball? The bat is lost. The boy is punished.

Ex. 2. Parse.-John is greatly disliked by everybody because he is so ill-tempered and peevish.

Lesson 5.-Friday Morning. Work these Sums.

(1) If the rent of a house be ten pounds a year, how much is that for 10 weeks?

(2) When 6 yards of cloth cost £1 1s., what must be given for 10yds.? (3) If 15 men can do a piece of work in 15 hours, how many men must be employed to do it in 5 hours?

(4) If 11 yards of velvet cost £3 13s. 9d., what will 33yds. cost?

History.--Write and Learn.

[blocks in formation]

1485 Henry VII., son of Edmund Tudor, reigned from 1485 to 1509. 1487 Lambert Simnel landed in Ireland, personating the Earl of Warwick, who was confined in the Tower. He next landed in England, but was defeated and made prisoner at Stoke. 1492 America was discovered by Christopher Columbus. Perkin Warbeck also, personating Richard Duke of York, landed in Ireland, and afterwards came to England in 1497. He besieged Exeter, but surrendered to the Royal forces, and was hanged in 1499.

1497

Henry was very avaricious, and by means of two men, Empson and Dudley, he exacted immense sums of money. He was a good politician, though he was always actuated by two things-his love of money, and his fear of losing the crown.

Lesson 6.-Learn for Monday Morning.

CHRISTIANITY.

We live in the midst of blessings, t we are utterly insensible of their greatness, and of the source from which they flow. We speak of our civilisation-our arts, our freedom, and our laws, and forget how large a share of all is due to Christianity. Blot Christianity out of the page of man's history, and what would his laws have been ?-what his civilisation? Christianity is

mixed up with our very being, and our daily life. There is not a familiar object around us which does not wear its mark; not a being or a thing which does not wear a different aspect because the light of Christian hope is on it; not a law which does not owe its truth and gentleness to Christianity; not a custom which cannot be traced in all its holy and healthful parts to the Gospel.Rose.
