e~xpedient and advisable to present
Prof. Mason's practice touching
this matter. He presents a question
or topic to his class as a whole, then
makes an individual application of
the question by requesting n Of
the class to rise and answer the
query, and finally invites a critical
examination Of the pupils answer
DO you welcome me to name what
| consider as arguments in favor of
this method of conducting a recita-
ton? | will adduce them in brief.
l. BY directing the question to
the class in the aggregate, you in
duce and c~oncs..sate the thoughts
Of all upon the subject matter
Each one is now endeavoring to
slove the problem. Intellectual en-
thusiasm appears, mental weapons
are sharpened, all are on the alert,
and for once mental drudgery gives
away to mental feast
2. In making it obligatory upon
the pupils to assume the standing
posture while giving his answer to
the question propounded, you are
drilling him in-the art Of self-con
troll, and by this means the admir-
able elements Of confidence and in
dependent expression are engrafted
into his very being.

sary to swell the Dimensions of this
article by pointing out the good re-
suits attendant upon developing a
healthy critical spirit in the minds
Of pupils. The time one spends in

age or logic, be said to be thrown
away.

About twelve months ago l gave
your readers a short notice Of our

communication / promised to give
your readers some information re.

friends begin to think l haye al,

northwestern Oregon. l consider

plenty of good fruit, fair wages
for labor, steamboat and railroad
facilities, schools, churches and

at the time that these various state
ments were bare faced falsehoods,
yet men who would scorn to lie in
a private transaction, publicly re-
peated them and affirmed their
truth. The late Oliver Chile was
one Of them, and though daily cor
