Essentials of Spelling | Antique 1919 Spelling Textbook for Grades 2-8 | Written by Henry Carr Pearson and Henry Suzzallo

FOR BAD SPELLERS! Published in 1919, Essentials of Spelling is designed for students, grades 2-8 with focus on the most common English words. As the preface explains..."...essential words are those that are used frequently by the majority of people, and not those occasionally by a few. It is an effort to study the spelling problem scientifically. It advocates fewer words and more drill, for investigation has shown that spelling vocabulary that is comment to a group of adults is surprisingly small."And getting smaller all the time.
