Cody, Sherwin

"Rhetoric"

I found that as
I came down from the hills into the valleys, the wild goats did not see me;
but if they caught sight of me, as they did if I went toward them from
below, they would turn tail and run so fast I could capture nothing.
Questions and Notes. Are all words in _-ceed_ spelled with a double
_e_? What two other common words besides _proceed_ have we already
studied? What sound has _ea_ in _healthy?_ in _pleasant?_ in _please?_
How do you remember that _i_ comes before _e_ in _chief?_ What sound
has _ai_ in _air?_ Do you spell 14 and 40 with _ou_ as you do _fourth?_
What other word pronounced like _sea?_ Note the three words, _lose,
loose,_ and _loss;_ what is the difference in meaning? Why does
_chance_ end with a silent _e? change?_ What other classes of words
take a silent _e_ where we should not expect it? What other word
pronounced like _course?_ What does it mean? How do you spell the word
for the tool with which a carpenter smooths boards? Mention five other
words with a silent _t_ before _ch_, as in _pitch_. To remember the
order of letters in _prairie,_ notice that there is an _i_ next to the
_r_ on either side.
