II. In perfect insects, there are
little openings along the sides. These
openings communicate with tubes
which branch again and again, send
ing their little air passages into every
part of the body, even into the legs
and veins of the wings. These little
tubes represent the lungs of the in
sect. In large insects like the grass
hopper, the minute openings in the
sides of the body can plainly be seen
without the aid of a glass. Insects
breathe by dilating and contracting
the abdominal segments. The act of
breathing can plainly be seen in the
grasshOpper or honey-bee; and it will
be seen, that after violent exercise,
they breathe more rapidly than when
at rest, just as boy after running
finds himself compelled to breathe
rapidly for while.
IS. Below we give method which
was handed to us by friend, in an
swer to query No. Is. We are glad
to see that so many teachers have left
the old stereotyped way of just asking
the questions found at the foot of
each page of most of tie textbooks;
but on the contrary, they are using
methods that require the original
thought and personal research of their
pupils on the topic. We have found
that a s'scratcb. book" is great auxil-
iary in the class Jom, especially III
the study of History:
HISTORY.
In teaching history, the one essen
tial thing is to have the lesson your
self, know it thoroughly before you
begin, and then only use the book for
reference by yourself and class, and
not to select questions from, for If
you do, you will be repeating some
thing that the pupils have already
heard, and it is much harder to hold
their attention than by presenting it
in a new light. My method, or the
one that use in school is this: Give
the class topic and ask a few ques-
lions that Will start them to thinking
on the topic; give to one the privilege
OF writing or relating the lesson in
his own language and the others may
| correct. or add such things as they
may learn. Than at stated times, say
on Friday, ask them to bring tabuiat-
ed statements of the weeks work,
giving the one having the best tab
ulation the honor of putting his work
on the board, and then have the class
review the work by the table; ques-
lions by the teacher and class. In
this we get over good long period of
history in one term and get it well.
