Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Spellers, Vol. 2 of 2: In Two Books

The books have been compiled because there is a well grounded belief among educators that words chosen exclu sively from the reading lessons fail to give a sufficient spell ing vocabulary. Moreover, there is an undoubted tendency to return to the use of the spelling-book. For many years the pendulum has swung toward the other end of the arc, and pupils have learned to spell only those words which their successive teachers have seen fit to select. Probably, in many cases, the words of a grade were repetitions of words previously taught. In many cases the selection for reading did not afford the proper choice. The result in many in stances has been to turn out poor spellers - and too often the critical public has been justified in its criticisms.
