Glimpses of the Animate World: Or Science and Literature of Natural History, for School and Home (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 31/01/2018 - 452 من الصفحات Excerpt from Glimpses of the Animate World: Or Science and Literature of Natural History, for School and Home Under the old system, which, happily, is now rapidly becoming obsolete, the mechanical pronunciation of the Words of a sentence in their proper order was called read ing but most improperly so, as the apprehension and ren dition of the thought, which constitute the very essence of reading, formed no part of the process. The means were mistaken for the end, and the true end was not reached. In consequence of this mistaken notion, reading exercises, in the schools where it prevailed, were dull, distasteful, and unprofitable to the pupil, and monotonous and unpleasant to the hearer.
