The Infant System

CHAPTER XIX
3/4

How do the children _walk ?--slowly, quickly, orderly_.

How do they _read, eat run!_ How does the master _laugh, speak, sing ?_ The children now find you ADVERBS, and it will be quite time enough to give them terms for the classification they thus intuitively make, when they have a clear idea of what they are doing.

When this end is attained, your children have some ideas of grammar, and those clear ones.

There is no occasion to stop here.

Proceed, but slowly, and in the same method.
The tenses of the verbs, and the subdivision into active, passive, and neuter, will require the greatest care and attention which the teacher can use, to simplify them sufficiently for the children's comprehension; as it will likewise enable them to understand the nature and office of the other classes of words.
