CHAPTER I. 



DIRECTIONS. 



To conduct the lessons, Monteith's Pic- 

 torial Chart and a large map of the world 

 should be hung on the wall in full view of the 

 class. A globe, also, should be shown. The 

 teacher will then read aloud from the Hand- 

 book, pausing for answers which the pupils 

 may be able to give to the questions. 



The names in black-faced type, as ocean, 

 surface, clouds, etc., should be pointed out 

 on the chart or map when they are mentioned. 

 This may be done either by the teacher or by 

 the pupils in turn. 



The illustrations should be drawn on the 

 blackboard by the teacher, and by the children 

 also, on their slates. 



(In classes composed of very young children, the spell- 

 ing and other exercises in small type may, at the discretion 

 of the teacher, be omitted in the first course. The words 

 in the spelling exercises should be written on slates by the 

 pupils.)
