Language Lesson.--Let pupils write a short letter to some friend,
taking as a subject, "A Visit from Little Crow," as given on pages 272
and 273.[16]
Let pupils add _y_ to each of the following words, make such other
changes as may be necessary, and then define them.
earth air fire water sleep
rain rust fun fur stick
What two words double their final letter before adding _y_? _Fiery_,
from _fire_, is irregular in spelling.
