REVIEW TEACHING HINTS.
or all tho lessons OF the quarter, the re-
view requires more preparation than any
other: and this whether the teacher re-
views his class, or the superintendent re-
views the school as a whole. Negligence in
prcparationwill simply insure failure. Al
suitable times let individuals be called on TO
state in one minute the practical application
OF each lesson. Select persons with clear
voices and minds TO do this, so as TO help
the school by their iwncisive way Of speak
ing. OF course, they should be spoken to
beforehand, so that they may render their
parts well. As u rule. the school will be
more benefited by q platform review than
by class reviews, because many teachers in
every school are really not able to rightly
handle twelve lessons in the time allotted.
