REVIEW TEACHING HINTS.
or all the 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 rs whole. Negligence in
preparation will simply insure failure At
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 incisive way of speak
ing. OF course, they should be spoken to
beforehand, 80 that they may render their
parts well. As o rule, the school will be
more benefited by 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.

cunsspectly: with accuracy, strictness, look
ing ON every side to see that the right path
IL taken. Not as fools: who go carelessly
through life, running into temptations and
dangers, visiting saloons and places Of
evil, going with bad companions, not in
tending to 20 far astray, but just to sail
into the edge Of the maelstrom of sin, to sec
how it looks. Such are FOOLS But as toise:
keeping in the right way; avoiding tempta-
tions; looking carefully for the ways that
lead to the right ends.
SECOND. WITH EARNEST ACTIVITY ".
16). Redeemtn0 the time: redeem means to
buy up, to get possession Of; time here
means opportunity, the right or fitting
time. The words therefore mean, improve
every opportunity; use your time to the
best advantage; make every opportunity

tions and dangers, hidden currents, secret
pitfalls, enemies on every side.

which are right. Joining temperance So
