rapidly before the cases, rarely pausing long enough to read a 

 label and unless the interest of the children is sufficiently 

 aroused to bring them to the museum another time, they have 

 Hot obtained the good from the visit they might have. On the 

 other hand, a teacher should not attempt too. much instruction ; 

 she should direct rather than lead, and if desired information 

 is not to be gathered from specimen or label the teacher might 

 ask about it, either in person or by letter. 



Pay especial attention to one or two exhibits and then let 

 the objects speak for themselves and do not tire the children 

 in the effort to teach them too much. Let them master one 

 or two ideas and remember that other days are coming.
