READING.
Quick-I DO not believe in these very
short lessons, which we often hear adyo-
Gated. Skill IN reading must be acquired
largely by practice; hence these very
short lessons do not afford sufficient OBJ
portunity for acquiring words. Neither
do believe in very long lessons. In
general, I give lessons Of such length chat
each pupil in the class may read one par
ag.aph. In these short lessons, there is
danger Of the pupil learning to read by
rote initiating the rcadingI Of those be
fore him, reproducing their faults as well
as thcir beauties.
David Ward-I assign short lessons
and rca0 them week, Unnecessary. TIE
pupil must read lesson Until he takes
in the scott ncD,.
Andcrson-The main point is to keep
up interest. Alter pupil has read a
lesson once, he loses interest il read the
sar'c repeatedly. Ore or two readings
a enough to 9;ge him a. the i9Gora,a-
ton IN his lesson. Repetition is incom-
pc IDLE with interest. Give longer lessons.
Rev Wadc-Good reading is enter
tanning Tie pupils advancement il
this branch depends largely on tie teach
cr. I do not believe il vey short
lessons. The young pupil must build Up
Il yocabulatyi hence one reason Tor
longer lessons. and the meaning OF lie
words uscd IN the lesson AS young pu-
p; S learn almost wholly by IN tation, The
teachct should read ard explain the les
son before cquiri g Inc pupil 70 read it.
Lead cbc pupil 70 understand tile writer's
thoughts ard feelings
Daytoa Ward-Reading lessons should
not be too sort. / do not correct Or
allow n pupil to be corrected until he has
read bis paragraph or verse.
Anderson-Young pupils VIII forget
| their mistakes il not corrected at the
time.
Quick-Thcre e extremes. The char
acter of the composition has much to do
in determining the length oflcsson.
Wade-Aso the age and previous at
tainments Of pupils
Ely do not see that repetition and
interest conflict. There is such It thing
as emulation. Give the pupil correct
copy, and he will not rest until he attains
il. When all that constitutes good read
ing is taken into consideration, our les
sons must be short Repetition is not
necessarily derogatory to Instruction.
We mvs repeat until every sentence is
correctly rendered. |he.e ace two OBJ
iects in reading: one is 10 gain, tie other
to convey Information. To convey in
formation effectively is the move difficult
part. 4 person may understand the
science oG music, without being a master
of harmony; as we may gain all tie in
