ORDER OF TEACHING

BOYS.

Let all the boys, placed opposite the table, be exercised in this way. Let the first one begin.

The Latin text provided in the table is the Lord's Prayer (Pater Noster), broken into syllables for instructional reading.

And so on in turn. Then, beginning again from the second, going by order, the first will be the last. And thus through all the others. Men distinguished by age, experience, and doctrine have followed this method of teaching.

Finally, this also is required of the teacher: that he depict many syllables on the table with chalk before the eyes of the boys, and instruct them to properly form the individual characters together with the syllables; so it will happen that they most easily learn both to read and to write.
