One Of or modern writer's has

born says a modern psychologist
What faults and defects are found
in most chiIsiten &C directly trace

persons can plainly see in relation

teachers deal with pupils as they

When would be better time to
teach the lesson OF the young

boys and girls in the process OF
maturity when appetites are alb
normal and habits OF greatest inn
portance are being formed:
In every walk OF life the way TO
do thing is TO do it. Then the
way to teach-is TO teach. In
order TO teach successfully one
must prepare. Even the smallest
pupil in the class has wit enough
10 know when one is attempting
10 teach what he does not know
To know we'll what he attempts
to teachis the first qualification of
good teacher. No person OF
sound common sense would set
out TO accomplish task for which
he has mada no preparation. Yet
how often it happens that the So
called teacher" OF a Sunday
school sees the lesson text for the
first time when he stands before
his class to instruct it Then
begins an exhibition OF bad meth
od and worse pronunciation by
which he holds himself up to the
scorn and disgust. the Indignation
