Community Fair,

And IL you got the goods, you will
surely get the prize.
You will see everything there, from
pumpkin TO cake,
And from potato to pie that Mother
used 10 make.
Don't forget that the fair ladies OF
our little town,
Never were known in anything to fail
down
In housekeeping or in sewing and
they are all good cooks,
And they need not take a back seat
when II comes to looks.
But to see everything and understand
IL right,
Come and spend day in our village,
and at the club house at night.
Then you will say, another place like
Alpha-there is none,"
We surely have the swellest village
under Gods whole sun.

dustrial and Commercial Geography.
The boys and girls receive vivid Wis
ual impressions, almost as clear as II
they had actually travelled to the for
eign countries and seen the industries
about which they are studying.
They enjoy every moment OF the
time, and look forward eagerly for
the next lesson. They are SO inter
ested that there Is no inattention or
disorder. When the lesson is over
they have not merely recited; they
have seen things, not learned SYM
bols. This is proved when on later
review tests OF the geography lessons
are given. Invariably the work that
is best remembered is that with the
stereograph and lantern slides as
basis.
OF impression gained through stere-
ographs and lantern slides lead one
TO wonder why they are not freely
used. Ii seems TO us that the geogra-
ply and history OF the grades in the
future will be developed largely with
a picture as a nucleus, and the story
woven around IL.
Yet the use of the picture does not
stop with these subjects. AS means
OF developing good oral expression the
lantern is invaluable. Each pupil
understands that, while he is talking
about his slide he is a public speaker
"a lecturer; he knows that no lecture
Is any good il the audience cannot
hear what the speaker is saying; so
he is not allowed to recite unless he
can make every member OF the class
understand easily what he is saying.
After one or possibly two failures
he learns to speak plaintly, distinctly
and slowly; because he knows that II
he does not he will be asked to take
his seat We have found that more
advance has been made in few les
sons with the lantern by pupils who
had been careless or indistinct read
ers, than in many months of the ordin-
ary oral reading. We have noticed
this even more plainly in other
schools; for the Putnam school the
children, by the class questioning
method, have been accustomed to
speak clearly and freely in all their
recitations. In any school, by the
method outlined above teachers will
find that self-consciousness disappears
and in the partially-darkene room the
pupil learns to speak without feeling
that he is the centre Of the universe
and that II revolves around him alone
The oral quiz and review that fol-
lows the lantern talk helps in this
also. Having already spoken about
the picture once, the awkward or hes
itating boy has confidence aud speaks
easily, because he knows his subject.
lie recalls what the others have said
and in his interest in the subject he
forgets his own failings and becomes
a normal, happy interested boy.
But II is not merely in geography,
in history, and in developing oral ex-
preston that the lantern may be put
TO good use. We may enrich our
science work and our language study,
our literature and our drawing, our
physiology fact. almost every
branch we teach, by such illustrative
material. In city schools where the
children's knowledge OF the great
country is often nil; in the country.
