Different forms of review are suit.
ed to classes of different ages and
different degrees of development. so
that a variety of methods Is sug.
gested below. Some Of these plans
may need to be united with others to
fill out the session, and any other
changes and adaptations Of them may
be made that seem best to the
teacher.
The quarters lessons have taken
up six books Of the Old Testament.
There have been five lessons in Sec.
ond Kings, two in Second Chronicles.
two in Isaiah, and one each in Jonah.
Micah and Hosea. Select six mem
bers of the class and have each
write a three-minute essay on one OF
these books, telling about the general
course Of the lessons or lesson from
that book, and the teachings brought
out therein. Let the class listen care
fully to each essay, and at the close
dictate a set of questions, which you
have written beforehand, on the quar-
ter's lessons as whole, having the
class write answers to the questions
as they are read.
The teacher will write on slips OF
cardboard or heavy manila paper a
series of questions on the lessons of
the quarter, about five questions on
each lesson. These questions will
cover the principal facts Of the les
sons, and will be so framed that the
answers can be very brief, yet ade-
quate. Lay the slips of paper, face
down. on the class table or on large
book held in the lap, mix them up.
and have the class draw them one
at time, in turn. The scholar that
draws a question will read it aloud,
and then answer 1t If he can, retain
ing the slip. II he does not answer
correctly, or at all, the next on his
left will try to answer 1t, and so on
around the class. The scholar that
answers It will hold the slip, and the
scholar that holds the largest num-

Take series of lesson pictures.
Obliterate the titles of the pictures.
and fasten a bit Of ribbon to each.
Place the pictures in box open at
the end, and let the ribbons extend
outside. The scholars will draw
these pictures out one after the other.
each scholar telling the class about
the lesson to which his pictures be-
longs, holding up the picture as he
does SO. After the pictures have
been used once, II there Is time they
may be returned to the box and the
exercise may be repeated. This form
of review is especially adapted to the
primary department.
The class will be divided, at least
a week in advance, into two sides,
each side with a leader. The sides
will meet by themselves and each
prepare a series of questions on all
the lessons Of the quarter. The teach
er will meet with each side and make
sure that the questions are fair ones,
and clearly expressed. On review day
the two sides will sit facing each 9TH
er. One side, through its leader, will
propose a question to the other side,
which will answer if it can, speaking
always through it's leader, but always
after consultation with the rest of the
side Then the second side will pro-
pose a question to the first side, and
so on, alternating. If the answer is
wrong, the side that proposed the
question scores a point; if partly
wrong, half a point. The side that
is defeated may be required to give

other side
