PROGRESSIVE REVIEW.
Rev. T.. Bakeslcc, in his Teacher'e
Manual for his Studies in the Life OF
Christ, makes some excellent nngges-
tions for a review, which can best be
begun with the beginning Of the quar-
! ter, and carried out gradually to the
end. lie proposes that each scholar, or
the class as a whole, make a harmony
Of the life Of Christ from the Gospels,
and illustrating il with unmounted pho
tographs, which can easily be obtained
of dealers. "Many persons have done.
this work with very great satisfaction,
and by the use of maps cut out OF books
and papers, or drawn by themselves.
unmounted photographs, and other IL
Illustrations, have made most valuable
and attractive books. In making such
a book the best plan Is to use sheets OF
heavy paper, stiff enough not to be-
wrinkled by the paste, and then to
bind them into book form, or tie them
loosely together after they are finished.
The best paper for this purpose is un-
ruled writing paper, such as Is used for
ledgers, and which can be procured at
any stationers- The paper should be-
cut into sheets about nine and one-half
by twelve inches In size, which will
give ample room to insert parallel pas
sages side by side, and for marginal
notes"
PLACES AND ILLUSTRATIVE OBJECTS.
In the bright little paper. the Child's
Hour, is given the following capital
plan for studying the geography Of the
United States, which can easily be
adapted to the life Of Christ.
1.-The map Of the United States, and
the products Of the different parts Of
the country were laid in the right
places. There was a bit of coal for
Pennsylvania and Ohio. wheat along
; the Mississippi valley, copper near
,, Lake Superior and gold in California
Another way to make product
map is to cut out the separate states
from largo railroad map, or an old
atlas, and as you study about each one
paste IL on a large sheet Of stiff paper.
and fasten on the things which will
show the industries and productions of
: that region.
Here is an account of such a map,

She says: ION the day for the study
of Maine the map OF said state should
