HISTORY IN GRAMMAR GRADES 3 IS 



accurate reproductions occur at any time, so that prepara- 

 tion for them will never be neglected by the pupils. An 

 eighth grade teacher 1 says : " An effort is made to lead the 

 pupil to talk from a topic and to know when he has ex- 

 hausted his subject. He is encouraged to think and to give 

 his own opinions. Before such a topic is assigned to an 

 individual, the class is usually led to think about it, so that 

 all are interested in the treatment. In this way pupils reason 

 out many points, without the aid of books. When conclu- 

 sions have been reached individual presentation is called for 

 in order to clarify ideas. Sometimes a general talk of this 

 nature precedes the studying of the lesson, leading the pupil 

 to think and reason while studying. Library reading is 

 done on many topics."
