The real purpose of recitation is to find
out in what the pupil is deficient in that
lesson, and then to teach the child what
it does not know. So often we hear the
teacher say, come say your lesson, john
ME, and Johnnie comes and says his les
son and goes back to his place without
knowing single thing more than he did
before he s'said" his lesson. Suppose
the teacher should ask herself the quee-
tion before the pupils leave the recitation
bench, what have taught them in this
lesson they. did not know. The work of
the teacher is to help, as it were, the pu-
pill in the work of developing the mind
and the comprehension of new ideas.
Every lesson affords an opportunity for
the assistance of the teacher. Thomas
Jefferson once asked himself the ques-,
ton, "whether my country is the better
for my having lived at ALL" Let the
teacher ask himself or herself the ques-
tion after each lesson, 'is each one of
these pupils benefited by any thing I've
said or done during this recitation p
Try to do something in each lesson to
help the child.
