SEVENTH AND EIGHTH YEARS.
BY ELMER W. CAVINS,TEACHER OF ORTHOGRAPHY IN ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY.
INTRODUCTION BYDR. EDWIN C. HEWETT.
SECOND EDITION—JANUARY, 1906.
PUBLISHED BY C. M. PARKER,TAYLORVILLE, ILLINOIS.
Copyright, 1904, by C. M. Parker.
This book is prepared for teachers and pupils who use the Illinois State Course of Study. The outline in Orthography for the Seventh and Eighth Years is the basis of all that is included herein. Three fifths or more of this work is word analysis which, valuable as it is, teachers as a rule are unable to teach without the aid of a text, never having learned much of it themselves. What, for example, can the average teacher unaided do toward writing a list of words to be analyzed which contain the rootann, meaning year? He might turn in the dictionary toannual,anniversary, andannuity, but he must fall back on his acquired knowledge for such as,biennial,centennial,millennium,perennial, andsuperannuate. And having the list, very many teachers, as well as pupils, need help in the analysis.
The aim of this book has been to set down in an orderly and convenient form such facts as are needed by those who follow the State Course of Study.
Emphasis has been placed upon word analysis. The author believes that this has more value in education than is generally attributed to it. When Mr. Kennedy named his work on word analysis “What Words Say”, he gave it the best possible title. Composite words have a wealth of meaning; each syllable is significant. And, as a rule, only to those who can read this significance does the word yield its full meaning. Accuracy is the mark of a scholar. Accuracy in speech and in the understanding of speech cannot be attained by those whose knowledge of words is vague and general. Pupils should early learn how to interpretwhat words say, and to discriminate carefully in the use of words, for these are the tools which they are to use in all the various departments for acquiring knowledge.
Normal, Ill., Aug. 30, 1904.E. W. Cavins.
I have long thought that the careful, discriminating study of words is much neglected in our schools. And I am glad to approve, and help to forward, anything that will promote such a study.
Not only will such a study improve a person's language greatly, but it will, at the same time, do much to improve the clearness and precision of his thinking; thought and language have a reciprocal effect.
If a child, while young, can be made to be interested in words themselves,—their origin, their exact meaning, their relations to each other and some of the changes in their meaning which result from their use,—he will be likely to retain that interest through life; it will be more likely to increase than to diminish.
It seems often to be assumed that a student can do nothing profitably with the study of words made up from Greek and Latin roots till he has acquired some mastery of those languages. But I know from experience and much observation that this is not true. Why should it be? Must one master Greek and Latin before he can understand that, in English words,graphmeans write;gemeans earth;phonemeans sound;curmeans run;finmeans limit;portmeans carry, etc.?
And then having learned the meaning of the prefixes and suffixes, is it preposterous to train him to know theetymological significance of a few hundred words by showing him how they are built up?
Of course, we know that many words in common use have shades of meaning quite different from, and in some cases almost opposite to, their literal significance. But will not the student be better able to understand these derived meanings by knowing their literal significance than in any other way? At any rate, I am fully persuaded that such a study of words as this book proposes can be made very profitable to those pupils for whose use it is prepared.
The teacher will find, however, that the teaching of this subject will require much careful labor on his part. The mere learning of the meaning of prefixes and suffixes and of the roots themselves, with the brief remarks on the meaning of some of the words, will need to be supplemented by a careful mastery of it all on his part. And to this must be added much thought of his own, together with careful research in the great dictionaries. But to the earnest and intelligent teacher, such thought and research will yield very rich fruit in his own thinking, and in his use of English speech.
I cheerfully commend the book as a move in the right direction; and as adapted, in my opinion, to do much to supply a serious lack in the present work of the schools.
Normal, Ill., Aug. 18, 1904.E. C. H.
1. From the lists given in this book omit such words as in your opinion are beyond the vocabulary of your pupils.
2. All words given for the first month's work are either defined or illustrated below the lists. This is done to help make clear the method of showing theirliteralsignificance. Further along in each year's work only the most difficult words are explained. Insist that pupils in every case where it is possible define or illustrate so as to show theliteralmeaning, else much of the value of the study is lost.
And, moreover, the ordinary, or current meaning,where it differs from the literal, should be given. Very many of the words have various uses. Thorough work requires that these be illustrated. This necessitates a free use of the dictionary.
It is strongly urged that the pupils (with the aid of the teacher when necessary) try to findan appropriate sentence to illustrate each wordand write the same in an orderly way in a note book for the purpose.
In work of this kind a teacher should not underrate the value of reviews. By this means fix facts on the minds of your pupils, especially the meanings of roots and prefixes. Since these meanings are given in a single word, reviews may proceed rapidly.
One convenient method of recitation in this subject is to send pupils to the blackboard without their books, assign them by turns words to be analyzed according to the examples given under “Directions to Pupils”, and then let each pupil read to the class what he has written on the board.
Given in the seventh and eighth years' work of the State Course of Study are 45 prefixes, 64 roots, and 33 suffixes,—in all 142 elements or component parts of words. In this book a list of words is furnished to illustrate each element, the average number of words in each list being about eleven, and the total number of different words analyzed, or partially analyzed, is over 1200.
TO ANALYZE A WORD.
1. Name its component parts—root, prefix, and suffix—and give the literal meaning of each.
2. Combine these meanings in a definition,supplying additional words if necessary, to make the sense complete. In exceptional cases, however, the exact literal meanings of the parts cannot be put together in a good definition. One or more of the parts must then be omitted entirely, or represented by words which are not exactly literal.
3. Give an illustration of the use of the word.
(Caution: Carefully distinguish verbs, adjectives and nouns. Do not define adjectives as nouns or verbs, or vice versa. Do not, for illustration, sayaudibleisthat whichcan beheard; but rather sayaudiblemeanscapable ofbeingheard.)
EXAMPLES.
avert:(1)a, away +vert, turn.(2) Toturn away; to ward off.(3) The evils which exist are necessary toavertgreater evils.
deify:(1)dei, god +fy, to make.(2) Tomakeagodof; to praise and revere as if a deity.(3) The people of Indiadeifythe Ganges River.
hostile:(1)host, enemy +ile, belonging to.(2)Belonging toor having the characteristics of anenemy.(3) Yon tower which rears its head so high invites thehostilewinds.
portable:(1)port, carry +able, capable of.(2)capable ofbeingcarriedor moved from place to place; not stationary.(3) Aportablephotograph gallery stopped for three days at the cross-roads near my home.
benefactor:(1)bene, good +fact, make, do +or, one who.(2)One who does good; especially one who makes a charitable donation.(3) “He is a truebenefactorand alone worthy of honor who brings comfort where before was wretchedness, who dries the tear of sorrow.”
A careful study of the five examples given above will reveal that to analyze words a pupil must—
1. Learn somefacts—meanings of the component parts of words.
2. Be careful in putting these facts together to make a sensible definition.
3. Use the dictionary to find the ordinary, or current, use of a word.
4. Gather illustrations. This is not easy, but it should not be neglected, for it is the most practical feature of word analysis. Pupils should help each other, and the teacher may contribute when his help is needed. One good illustration for a difficult word might suffice the entire class.
