Questions ON Lessona
The review should be q refreshing Of tho
memory and . confirmation of the truths
that have been learned Anything ike
the condensing Of dozen lessons into The
time Of one cannot be attempted. In most
city schools in the east the lesson Is pressed
into 30 minutes-sn average OF 2l-2 min
utes for each lesson in tho review. How
shall We best turn this ast.nowing time
TO accountf
The various suhjects will pass as rapidly
and leave a. faint an impression on the
mind and memory as the shifting forms OF
q Kaleidoscope, or the heetinR clouds on
summer day. or the glimpses OF the land
scapo seen from the windows OF flying
train OF cars.
Don't try to do too much. You can't
pack minds as you can pack valise. The
co. operation OF the pupils faculties should
be enlisted. A few prominent features
must be presented. Perhaps such pan
as follows may be adopted: ]. Re-
cite ia concert the titles, refer
ences to Scripture passages given as
lessons, and golden texts. 2. Then ask
few questions on each lesson. 8. End With
a short application. To facilitate this SIM
pie method OF review the following table
