Methods and Means of Temperance In.
srrmpfSart

srruction.
The special committee of the Pedagogical
Society at an adjourned meeting in Portland,
June 9th, discussed the above named topics
with reference to the needs OF graded and
mixed schools.
AS supplementary to previous report they
would recommend. particularly when the brief
daily exercise plan is adopted, that, once or
twice a month, there be general exercise,
embracing review of the brief lessons, eluci-
dated by new illustrations and with fresh ap-
plications of principles learned, question
box'' for queries from pupils. occasional writ
ten essays on subjects OF lessons, &C., the ex-
ercises interspersed with su table Rotations
or readings bearing upon the main topic. In
the high school no change seems called for ex-
cept that such editions of stand ard works
should be used as contain the matter meeting
the terms Of the law.
1t Is thought that text book may do good
service in the hands of pupils of the grammar
grade or those Of the same age in mixed
schools to be used, ii no more, as a reading
book and to serve as a basis for the instruction
imposed.
Possibly such books may be selected as shall
afford substantial help to the next lower grade,
but, on the whole, the committee hold the
view that, below the grammar grade, oral
teaching will show itself to be the reliable an
successful method. The committee find man y
elementary work Of decided worth an d
responding well to the legal requirements in
the case. While recognizing the excellencies
in certain particulars, of other text books they
venture to mention as typical books, meeting
the demands of scientific accuracy and adapta-
ton to teaching purposes, Martins Ele-
mentary and Blaisdelps "Our Bodies and How
We Live" These for the grammar school
course and the general use of all teachers.
For all who teach orally and especially in
primary grades, Miss sBuckslew's practical
Work in the School Room" is warmly COM
mended for its clear, natural progressive and
attractive methods, and for valuable sugges-
tions covering the whole range of the
teachers work. The educational publications
of the National Temperance Society contain
much that will be helpful to teachers and we
arc promised by other publishers books designed
to give especial aid in primary work by means
| of attractive lessons with suitable blackboard
| and other illustrations.
From their review of the subject assigned
| them the committee are convinced that this
line of instruction has availabilities to interest
| teachers and pupils, and they confidently ex-
| pect that it will prove an agreeable addition
materially enchances the moral power of our
schools
1t is proposed to hold another session be-
| fore the opening of the fall term and the COM
| mittee invite suggestions from teachers and
| others interested in the aims, methods and
means of temperance instruction in our public
| schools
