_To animals_: whoa! gee! haw! geddap! kitty-kitty! puss-puss!
_Onomatapoetic_: ding-dong! bang! whiz! bing! crack! snap! etc., etc.
(In general the use of interjections, especially of capricious character, is much more characteristic of the best Italian writing and speech than it is of English.)
The material for logical analysis consists of little rolls of fairly stiff paper, on which are printed simple, compound and complex sentences, in carefully prepared series.
There is also a chart, divided into two columns of rectangular spaces, with the name of one sentence element printed in each space. The sentence read on the roll can be torn off part by part, and each of these parts is placed in one of the rectangles, according to the name printed on it. This is another application of the compartment box method used to analyze first the alphabet, then the sounds which go to make up the word, finally the words as parts of speech. Here, the compartments are reduced to a simple design.
The charts for logical analysis are on colored paper and are artistically drawn and decorated. We have charts of four different kinds as regards ornament and color, for such details exert a considerable influence upon the work of the children. On the following page is a sample of the charts with its "sections."
