that with a little tact on the part of teachers it will prove both interesting and instructive.

It is recommended that special attention be given to the following points:

1. An accurate and careful reading or reciting the selections.

2. A brief account, so far as may be, of the author of the selection read or recited.

3. A frequent expansion of the subject or thought of a selection in a conversational way.
