When we study the anile for existence which is ainst adverse circuainst its enemies, we realize that the more the principles of solidarity and equality are developed in an animal society, and have beco and coainst hardshi+ps and foes The hly each member of the society feels his solidarity with each other member of the society, the more completely are developed in all of theress; courage, on the one hand, and, on the other, free individual initiative And, on the contrary, the roup of ani of solidarity--which may chance as the result of exceptional scarcity or else of exceptional plenty--the e and individual initiative, diminish; in the end they disappear, and the society falls into decay and sinks before its foes
Without e, no initiative, no solidarity--and no victory!--_Kropotkin_
SPELLING
LESSON 8
In pronouncing words of reater stress upon one syllable of the word; that is, that syllable receives the emphasis of the voice so as to make it more prominent than the other syllables This is called accent, and the syllable which receives the special stress is called the accented syllable
+Accent is the stress of the voice upon one syllable of the word+
You will notice when you look up the pronunciation of words in your dictionary that a little mark called the accent mark is placed after the accented syllable, as for exa to which syllable receives the accent Our spelling lesson for this week contains a number of these words
These words, when accented on the first syllable, are nouns; when accented on the second syllable, they are verbs
