The children will then repeat, "There _it_ is, there _it_ is." Apply your finger to the ball, and set it running round.

The children will immediately change from saying, "There _it_ is," to "There _it_ goes, there _it_ goes." When they have repeated "There it goes" long enough to impress it on their memory, stop the ball; the children will probably say, "Now _it_ stops, now _it_ stops." When that is the case, move another ball to it, and then explain to the children the difference between singular and plural, desiring them to call out, "There _they_ are, there _they_ are;" and when they have done that as long as may be proper, set both balls moving, and it is likely they will call out, "There _they_ go, there _they_ go." I do not particularize further, because I know that good teachers will at once see the principle aimed at, and supply the other requisite lessons: the object of this book being rather to shew the principle of the thing, than to go into detail..
