Synopsis

Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the Trustees and Instructor of the Monitorial School, Boston, 1826

I shall omit many exercises subsidiary to those already described, such as reading, spelling, saying the multiplication and other tables all together, an exercise which has a powerful influence upon their habits of order and attention, and is a rapid and pleasing method of reviewing many exercises; for, many pupils who are afraid to speak alone, are emboldened by numbers; and it is no more difficult for the master's ear to detect an error in the multitude Of voices, than for a musician to discover a discord in a choir. These exercises also have a powerful effect in banishing that monotony and ennui which so often reign in schools conducted on the common plan.
