But remembering that "man must
not live by bread alone" we decided
to see some of the classes in session.
Knowing Miss Davis reputation as
a fine historian, we found our way TO
her class room. The lesson embraced
the historical setting for the Plan
tagenet reign. The pupils answered
with such alaerity and enthusiasm.
they did not give Miss Davis a chance
70 lecture" but il proved there was
a motive gower and an inspiration
when high school pupils bring up
such good lesson. The oral re-
view was most enjoyable to visitors,
and remembering that history was
the stumbling block in my school
days. it was gratifying to see the sub
ject now taught in such an attrac-
tive manner. Tho teacher proved
that her line of thought had not been
confined to cold historical facts, as
she quoted Dante's Inferno and scrip
ture that applied to the lesson and
made striking illustrations.
Miss Watkins grammar class was
also an interest of the day. "Prepo-
sitional phrasing" was the feature of
the Lesson that day. and we noted
especially in the blackboard lesson,
some very attractive writing, which
is necessary to good education, as we
heard bright boy say one time that
an illegible hand kept him from pro-
motion. Great is the public school,
and greatly to be praised.
