In October, 1886, Miss Frances MacChesney, a primary teacher in the Lewis School, obtained permission from her principal, Miss Katherine Starr Kellogg, and her superintendent, Mr. Orville T. Bright, to try some work on the lines wrought out in the experiment made at Boston. Her request was granted, on condition that she would complete the grade work in the required time. At first nothing was attempted beyond the giving of simple science lessons as bases for reading lessons. In these the children were furnished with specimens, and led through their own observations to the acquisition of facts and ideas, which the children expressed; these expressions put upon the blackboards constituted the reading matter, and were written in script or print on slips of paper for further use. At this time Miss MacChesney herself thought of the work mainly Reprinted, by permission, from The Popular Science Monthly for February, 1892, where it bears the title "An Experiment in Education." as a more interesting way of teaching reading; and, although the basal lessons were usually drawn from Nature, little attention was paid to the quality and value of the ideas thus used. Later, the fundamental idea of the Boston experiment was taken up, and the chief attention directed to the selection of topics and materials for real science lessons. In this work no effort was made to introduce the vocabulary of the reader assigned to the grade. In February that reader — Appletons1 First — was given to the children for the first time.
