In a similar manner lessons may be given on the sheep, 

 the pig, the chickens, the ducks, the turkeys, illustrating them 

 with suitable pictures or specimens, and developing the de- 

 sirable qualities of the different animals for the various pur- 

 poses that they serve, their care and the uses of each. 



If a farm has been visited by a class, it will be an easy mat- 

 ter to make an interesting lesson on each of the useful ani- 

 mals seen there. With the use of good pictures and stories, 

 much valuable information may be given and a correct atti- 

 tude toward the animals be established in the minds of the 

 pupils. 



LESSON XXXVIII 



FARM ANIMALS FOREIGN

 Show pictures of the elephant, reindeer, llama, camel, etc. 

 Discuss their structure, size, food, movements, intelligence,

 climate and conditions in which it lives. 



With the aid of pictures and stories, show the care given 

 them and their great usefulness. Compare them with our 

 own domestic animals in various particulars. . 



This work will correlate with geography; the number of 

 lessons to be given to it must be determined by the teacher.
