METHODS OF TEACHING UNITED STATES
HISTORY
BY G. KRELL.

1. -Ifthe text book is faulty in arrange
ment of topics, the teacher may give
black board outlines of each of the col
onies and presidential administrations as
they are studied, requiring pupils to pre-.
serve copy in tablet for reference and
to recite therefrom.
2. Spend few minutes in assigning
advance lessons, calling attention to i'm:
portant parts, briefly commenting on the
same.
8. Encourage comparison of state
ments ofdifferent writer's, and notice any
worthy outside material bearing on the
lesson.
4. Let prominent historical characters
be the centre of historical events as
much as the subject matter permits.
5. Use maps frequently. locating all
important places.
6. Senda number Of pupils to the
board, assign topics, require written
work conduct recitation with remainder
of the class, closing in time to call at
tention to the board work for the pur-
pose of criticism or of commendation.
7. Vary the monotony of daily recita'
ton by the reading of historical poems
or other appropriate selections, by con.
versational study Of the lessons, then
have general written recitation on the
topics considered, thus giving each child
test in spelling, grammar and express.
ion, as well as history. Return papers
to pupils that they may correct mis-
takes
Let pnpils write dates, as the teach
er names important events, or reverse the
process, then have pupils exchange pa
pers and correct errors.
8. Have general review questions Civ
en- by teacher, alternating with members
of the class.
10. Use historical cards, divide class
into sections, and credit the sections
which gives the greatest number of cor
rect replies
II. Use one day in the week for gen.
eral news credit the pupils for bsie1
mention of important events in current
history, thus encouraging an interest in
the world of to day.-Populur Educator

Think Before You Strike.

I remember reading in my boyhood
about merchant travelling on horse
back, accompanied by his dog. He dis
mounted for some purpose and accident
ally dropped his package of money. The
dog. saw it, but the merchant did not.
The dog bsrked to stop him, and as he
rode farther, bounded in front OF the
horse and barked louder and louder. The
merchant thought he had gone mad, drew
pistol from his holster and shot him.
The wounded dog crawled back to the
package, and when the merchant dis
covered his loss and rode back, found
his dying dog lying there faithfully
guarding the treasure.
The following little story, told by o
friend of mine, is not painful one, but
adds force to the thought, think before
you strike any creature that cannot
speak.
"When was q boy and lived up in
the mountains of New Hampshire, l
worked for farmer and was given a
span of horses to plow with, one of which
vas four-ye old colt. The colt after
walking few steps would lie down in
the furrow. The farmer was provoked,
and told mo to sit on the colts head to
keep him from rising while he whipped
him, to break him of that notion, as he
said. But just then ne;ghbor came
by. BE said: "The-e is something
wrong here, let him get up and let us
examine" He pstted the colt, looked
at the harness and then said Look
at this collar, it is long and narrow, and
carries the harness 80 high that when
be begins to pull issiips back and chokes
50 he cannot breathe" And so it was,
and but for that neighbor we would
have whipped as kind creature as we
had on the farm, because he laid down
when he could not breathe"

valuable ST. Bernard dog being shot be-

WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW.
Congress Stampeded on Catechism OF
Political History.


Last week the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat sent forty reporters to Washington
to find out what the great men of the ma
tion know about some of the simplest
facts in the history Of the country. 1t
was cheeky thing to do, but the Globe
Democrat reporters did it, and did it we'll.
Out of several hundred men interviewed
only three or four could answer all the
questions correctly, and from President
Harrison down to the sockless Simpson 8
pretty state of things was discovered.
The report was published in the Globe
Democrat on Tusday last, and filled four.
teen columns in small type. 1t was sent
to st. Louis by wire, and contained
23,639 words. The following is copy
of the card which was distributed among
the Statesmen:

the time of his retirement, after having
served eight years as Presidentf
2. How many Offices we're included in
the Cabinet of George Washington, and
what we're they?
8. How long did Thomas Jefferson live
after the close of his second Presidential
term9
4. When was the navy department
created, and who was the first Secretary
of the Navy?
