when children have learned to select
names teach them that they are nouns.
After the simple nouns and verbs are
| learned, the different things to be known
about them and their modife will soon
| follow.
In the afternoon Miss Allen again spoke
on reading, saying that in every lesson we
should have some point and Keep to that
point. Teach the child at first to read
rapidly and connectedly, to get the whole
thought and then express it. Black board
reading is best for the first half of the first
year and then have them read the first
part of two or three primers. Miss Allen
had class of children who had never
been to school to show her method OF be-
ginning with them. 1t was to interest
them, then give them some object and
have them tell her different things about
1t. One Of these sentences she wrote on
the board and asked them to read it.
In language Mr.. Edison said, never fail
to notice good efforts and speak of them.
Be very careful never to make mis-
takes when writing on the board as the
wrong picture may stay In the child's
mind. Conversation In which the teacher
is an animated question mark is OF great
value. Written and essay work is good
IL properly done. The corrections should
be made and then the essay copied and
care taken that the corrections be remem-
bered. 1t is good plan to have the same
dietation exercise each week OF the term
and to keep these papers, thus showing
the progress made.
The drawing lesson consisted OF draw
ing the yellow daisy in water colors. Mr..
Campbell told and illustrated the proper
method of drawing this and similar things
and spoke more about the combinations
OF color.
