The practice on the part of teachers
Of collecting written recitation work and
correcting it outside school is not good
one. 1t takes time that a teacher should
have for rest. and uses energy that is
needed for preparation of the following
days work, and in many instances pa
pers so corrected are given back without
the teacher having called the attention
of the pupils to this error. So far rs
possible. written work should be correct
ed before the class, and the attention of
the class called to the errors, teachers
and pupils making corrections.-Teach-
