Directions for Reading.--Always take breath before beginning to read a
sentence. If the sentence is a long one, choose such places for breathing
as will not injure the sense.
When we are out of breath, we are likely either to read too fast, or
stop to breathe at such places as to injure the sense.
In the first sentence of the second paragraph on page 101, we may make
slight pauses to take breath after _noon_ and after _winds_.[07]
Point out breathing-places in the last paragraph on page 100.[08]

Language Lesson.--Syllabify, accent, and mark sounds of letters in the
following words: _jingling, nostrils, farewell_.
Let pupils use other words to express the following:
A stout heart. Towards the setting sun.

[07] See paragraph 22 beginning, "There arose one day at noon...."
[08] See paragraph 21 beginning, "Several days were thus passed...."
