Excerpt from Stem Dictionary of the English Language: For Use in Elementary Schools
All pupils can be, and should be, thoroughly grounded in the present use of the elements of the English language; and at the proper time they should be encouraged to connect those elements with their original sources. While it is desirable that all should be able to do this, yet in the nature of the case but a very small per centage can ever be expected to do so. To the masses of the English speaking world a stem must remain English, and English alone.

Excerpt from Stem Dictionary of the English Language: For Use in Elementary Schools
Language is the external representative of thought. It is not only the means of expressing thought, but it is also the necessary means or condition of extended thinking. It is, therefore, an immediate and ever-pressing factor in education; it is the available form of another's thought; it is the means of developing and perfecting our own. "Thoughts disentangle passing over the lip." But this disentanglement implies a corresponding disentanglement of language; it. implies a sensitive and delicate perception of the scope and application of terms. This sensitiveness and delicacy of perception is conditioned in the power to resolve secondary expressions into the primary forms from which they have sprung. Mastery of a subject implies the possession of every elementary notion involved in it; a corresponding mastery of language must therefore also imply an acquaintance with all its devices for expressing elementary notions. Primary words are but one class of these devices. There are, indeed, in the English language four classes of them, viz.: primary words, prefixes, suffixes, and stems. There can be no reliable extension of vocabulary without a recognition of the form and value of these several elements; and without them all study of subjects is subjected to a dead strain, resulting either in failure and discouragement or in superficial knowledge. The definition of a word built up in any manner out of a familiar primary word is superfluous, because the word explains itself. And if it did not explain itself, the definition would be useless as a means of enlarging vocabulary.
Definition, however, has a very important function in the logical Co treatment of a subject, or in carrying on a line of reasoning. But it is not a reliable or effective means of enlarging one's vocabulary; and without a ready vocabulary all study is impeded.
The mind proceeds by units of effort; it suffers violence when ac required to treat multiplicity as unity. It is checked and confounded instead of being stimulated and directed.
