They should stand erect, with the head erect, so
as 10 give the muscles Of the throat full play.
They should "toe the mark" in more senses than
one. Teachers should insist on this. The best
rule for reading is that contsined in the Sth verse
Of the Sth chapter Of Nehemiah
. SO they read in the book in the law of God
distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them
to understand the reading"

good in the world he owed it all to that teacher
because she first inspired him with the love of
