Discipline, one of the most vital and
important problems in teaching, is being
sadly neglected in many schools to-day
Some suggestions which may be helpful
in mastering the problem are as follows:
l. Children should be in seats promptly
when school is called
2. Hold the children to the task you
have assigned them.
3. Children should be in their seats
and employed during class periods.
4. No questions should be asked or
answered when classes are reciting.
5. Glasses should be called and dis
missed promptly.
6. When children are asked to stand,
pass, sit etc. see that no time is wasted
in waiting for individuals.
7. Careful and definite assignments
should be made so that the children will
know what is to be expected of them.
8. Require orderly marching of child
rem to and from class and at intermissions.
8. Have certain periods for Reading
Circle Work.
10. Have the first part of the daily pro-
gram, the opening exercises, alive and in
teresting, so the children will look for
ward to ii with interest and pleasure.
This will prevent much hardness day
