SUGGESTIONS 
 
 — TO— 
 
 TEACHERS OF HISTORY. 
 
 There is no " royal road " to a knowl 
 edge of history. To some it has a happy 
 fascination, and they find its study a 
 pleasant task, — though task it must be. 
 To others it is a bugbear and a burden. 
 The responsibility of this condition 
 rests with two classes: first, with pa- 
 rents who have not, from the beginning, 
 taken proper care to cultivate at home 
 a love of good reading in the young 
 mind; and second, with teachers who 
 have not done so at school, — who have 
 not turned the bright side of history 
 toward their classes. 
 
 With the hope that they may be of 
 the same practical benefit to the reader 
 that they have been to the writer, the 
 following brief suggestions are submit- 
 ted: 
 
 1. Assign the lesson by the outline, 
 [iii] 
 
[iv] 
 
 By this means you will teach histcyry and 
 not hook. Have each pupil procure an 
 outline if possible ; if not, write the les- 
 son on the blackboard, or have a copy 
 on your desk for their use. 
 
 2. While you may have one adopted 
 text-book, do not for any reason confine 
 yourself or the class to its exclusive use. 
 Bring all the books on the subject that 
 you can procure, and invite the pupils 
 to bring in the histories that may be 
 found in the neighborhood. 
 
 3. Discard the text-book during the 
 recitation. Do not permit the pupils to 
 use theirs, do not use your own. In- 
 spire them with confidence in your 
 ability by showing j'-ourself to be able. 
 How can the pupils hope to learn his- 
 tory, if they have abundant evidence 
 that the teacher has not mastered it? 
 They will feel a due sense of injustice 
 if not permitted to peep into their books 
 when the teacher constantly refers to 
 his. 
 
 4. By all means prevent the pupils 
 committing the text. Comparatively 
 little good can come of such a process 
 of study. The facts are what are wanted 
 and not the words of any author. 
 
 5. Each pupil should stand while re- 
 
[V] 
 
 citing, and tell plainly in his own lan- 
 guage all he knows of the topic under 
 discussion. Seldom use questions, never 
 questions suggesting answers, or ques- 
 tions requiring monosyllabic answers. 
 
 6. Use maps freely. Be sure that all 
 the pupils kruyw the location of every 
 place or route mentioned. Have the 
 maps often reproduced on the black- 
 board from memory. Also, have por- 
 tions of the outline written upon the 
 blackboard without reference. 
 
 7. Review often. Teach the pupils 
 that what is learned tO-day is not to be 
 forgotten to-morrow. 
 
 8. Never miss an opportunity to di- 
 rect your pupils into a literary channel. 
 Refer them to all the historical poems 
 with which you may be familiar ; also 
 the best biographies, sketches, etc. In 
 short, strive to make their study of his- 
 tory auxiliary to noble characters and 
 useful lives.
