[The pupil may read the following sentences; but before
reading them, he may tell after what word the pause
should be made. The pause is not printed in the
sentences, but it must be made when reading them. And

frequently used to point out the grammatical divisions
of a sentence than to indicate a rest or cessation of
the voice. Good reading depends much upon skill and
judgment in making those pauses which the sense of the
sentence dictates, but which are not noted in the book;
and the sooner the pupil is taught to make them, with
proper discrimination, the surer and the more rapid
will be his progress in the art of reading.]
