A careful study of them will reveal many facts that are not seen at a casual glance. While we believe there is enough variety to overcome monotony, yet we hn\o endeavored to classify the events in such a way as to assist the memory. Variety is apparent in every sketch, and we simply mention one feature- you will notice that the admini- strations ha^■e diffpi-cnt l)()i-(lers and the titles are indifferent styles of letter. The classification is shown in many ways, and we call attention to-the similarity of l)orders for the series of each war. The border for the Intercolonial war is significant of Indian warfare, and the Revolution is representative of that period. In the war of 1812, which was carried on at sea, the border is indicative of sea warfare, and in the Civil w^ar the flags of the Blue and the Oray are draped on either side. The simplicity in the drawings representing the Merri- mac and Monitor show how easy it is for the child to reproduce these battle scenes in an impressive way. The few lines in the j^en portrait of General Lee enable an>' pupil to make such sketches. The old bridge at Antietam marks such an historic place and is so easily drawn that a teacher is hardly justified in taking a class over this subject without having the scene before them. This illustrative work impresses the student with the facts and enables the teacher to do effective work. A careful study of these sketches and a reproduction of them by the pupils, either on the blackboard or in writ- ten work, will interest the pupil and result in better teach- ing, as well.

Why was it known as "Sew- ard's Folly"? Name four important laws passed while Johnson was president. How many men took part in the Grand Review? How long did it last? How did the soldiers march? When did it occur?' What ended the dream of French domain in the New World? The Northern office-seekers who went south at the close of the Civil War were designated by what title? What two words express the thought of the Xlllth Amendment? Of the XTVth? Law of Association The law of association in memory, that when we call up one thing of a group we naturally call up everything associated with it, has been employetl throughovit in the arrangement of this history. In the study of the sketch of Johnson's administration, the thought of Mexico immediately suggests Alaska, and each sketch recalls the facts associated with it. If one thinks of the amendments he immediately recalls laws, or vice versa. When one thinks of the President's idea of reconstruction he inunediately contrasts it with Congress's idea. He cannot think of the Great Eastern without thinking of the laying of the Atlantic cable as its accomplishment, or in thinking of the Atlantic cable we immediately associate it witli the majestic steamer that so successfully laid it. Exposition of Facts Illustrated Grant. — Sorvetl two terms, between 1869-77. His famous repl.v to llciieral Kiickiier kuv'o liim tlie title of "Uiiconilitioii'il Surrender."

It was a fine coal- ing station and its fertile area well adapted to the colonization of negroes. Congress ipfused to consent to the plan.

Historical Cards Have your pupils prepare a card for each administration showing five of tlie most important events. The teacher can hold all the cards and read an event. The pupil that can give the President's name first gets the card anrl the one securing the most cards wins the game. Each exercise is different since different questions can be asked. The pupils may each take .several cards and ask the questions in turn and play for a given time, as ten minutes, or until one pupil secures all of the cards. If it is an advanced class and the teacher desires to em- phasize the dates, the teacher can read the facts and have the pupils give the dates of same. A few exercises of this kind will fix definitely in the mind the dates of important events in history. Every pupil should know five important events of each admini- stration, r'ew pupils can tell in whose administration we have the Embargo Act, The Purchase of Louisiana, The Omnibus Bill, etc. liy simply knowing the administration, it gives us a general idea without tlie necessity of attempting to fix exact dates. A simple exercise can be prepared on other periods of American history, on biography, etc. These games will be carried into the homes and much valuable information ac
