Some OF the teachers OF the coun-
" think OF using choice gems OF
literature In cnohection with the
opening exercises have found Il
good plan to write these gems on
the blackboard and ask all pupils
TO copy them.
At your opening exercises have
the whole school TO read the gem
two or three times and then re-
quest the puplls to commit It 10
memory and recite II next morn
Ing at the opening OF school. On
Monday morning call for all pupils
TO rise who can recits from mem
DRY the five memory gems OF the
previous week Then have them
10 recite in concert Sometimes !
have had them to reeite all gems
for the month.
Since my return 10 Kentucky
one OF my former students asked me
II | remembered placing memory
gems on the board NJ the place he
attended school, replied that !
| did. He then reciied some Of
them and told me that one gem
\ IN particular had been great help
to him In hours OF temptation. We
would begin 10 Ego over" that gem
and keep saying 1t 10 himself aud
overcome that pulling power" TO
do wrong. This former pupil is

Does 1t pay a teacher 10 be on
the alert for choice gems OF liter

proves and secures much good out 0
