                GENERAL DIRECTIONS ON TEACHING LANGUAGE.


The teacher should ask questions about the objects and incidents of the
reading lesson; the most difficult words of the lesson should be placed
on the board and used as an exercise in rapid pronunciation and
spelling; let the pupils pass rapidly through a paragraph, pronouncing
the words of two-syllables, three-syllables, etc.; and, as soon as the
advancement of the class will permit, the pupil should pass through a
paragraph naming the parts of speech, the phrases, the propositions, and
the sentences, now and then classifying them.

Frequently, as a pupil reads, the rest of the class should be required
to close their books and turn their attention directly to what is being
read; when the reader is through, the teacher should question the
listeners carefully until every point of what was read is brought out
clearly,—the reading itself to be properly criticised. Rules of
punctuation, and those concerning the use of capitals should be deduced
from the reading matter, and frequently recited. Quotation marks, the
hyphen, and the apostrophe must receive their share of attention.

Geographical terms, allusions, and figures of speech should be noted;
let the places mentioned be located and described as in geography. If
prominent men are mentioned, let brief biographical sketches be given.

Before beginning the recitation, the teacher should question the class
closely in regard to what is set forth or told in the lesson. Give
careful attention to position, voice, emphasis, tone, etc. Good reading
should strike our attention as being very like good conversation.

As soon as practicable, the pupils should be required to write out as a
composition the thoughts and incidents of the lesson. Occasional
exercises in parsing and analysis may be given from the reading lesson.

Stories, extracts, etc., should often be read to the class, to be
written out by them in their own language. Let attention to the use of
correct language be a prominent feature of every recitation.
Transformations of easy poems into prose, and descriptions of scenes,
real or imaginary, may be used in composition work. Oral and written
reproductions of reading lesson must occur frequently. Conversations
about familiar and interesting objects will give the teacher an
opportunity to correct bad language.

From time to time, as opportunity offers, supplementary reading matter
may be used. Throughout the grades, two or three times a week, the
pupils should be required to commit choice quotations and to recite them
clearly and effectively.

                 INSTITUTE LESSONS. Primary Arithmetic.


1. Use each of the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, &c.) one at a time, and devise
many different ways of illustrating and using each objectively. First,
the perception of the number as a whole—then, the analysis of the
number. Part of the work should involve subtraction.

2. Each number may be illustrated in many ways by large dots variously
grouped on cards. With these cards drill the perception in quickness.
Let each pupil arrange a certain number of “counters” in several ways of
regular form.

3. On each number, ask every possible variety of question. Let the
pupils make problems. Let some be made that are to have a certain given
answer.

4. As each number is used, let its script form be learned and made by
the pupils. After progressing in this way as far as 4 or 5 (some say to
9) teach the figures. Practice counting objects as far as 20.

5. The exercises for slate work should progress very gradually. A higher
number should be introduced only after the pupils can use, with
readiness, those below it, in their many and varied combinations. Let
there be oral work consisting of easy objective problems illustrative of
the slate work.

6. In the black-board work the teacher should use a pointer and call for
ready and correct mental recitations, as he points to the various
problems.

7. The exercises for slate work may be of several different kinds: as,

  (a) 1 and 1 are  .
      2 and 3 are  .
          &c.

  (b) 5 less 1 are  .
      6 less 4 are  .
          &c.

  (c) 2 and   are 6.
        and 1 are 5.

  (d) 6 less   are 5.
        less 2 are 2.

  (e) 1 1 1 2 2
      1 1 2 2 2
      1 2 3 2 3
      _ _ _ _ _

The columns of (e) may contain from three to nine figures. The teacher
must not lengthen them at any time beyond the ability of the pupils.

  (f) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
      2 1 3 9 4 5 6 8 7
      _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The upper figure is the same in each: the lower figures are different
and are arranged miscellaneously. In the advancement, increase the upper
row a unit at a time, as far as 11.

8. Teach the use of the signs ×, -, and =, and let the pupils have slate
work similar to the following:—

   8 × 5 =   .
   9 - 6 =   .
      &c.

  12 -   = 4.
  12 -   = 8.
      &c.

     + 6 = 9.
     + 3 = 9.
      &c.

9. Practice counting objects as far as 100, after which drill frequently
in writing and reading the numbers, from the black-board, as far as 100.

10. Use exercises similar to the following:—

  (a)  4  4  4  4
       9 19 29 39 &c.
       _ __ __ __

  (b)  7  7  7  7
       8 68 18 88 &c.
       _ __ __ __

Let every possible combination be learned so well that the result can be
given instantly.

11. For variety, along with the preceding, there may be used exercises
similar to the following:—

  (a)   2  3  2  1
        4  0  1  3
        0  4  3  9
        8  6  4  0
        6  7  6  8
        9  5  7  5
       __ __ __ __

  (b)  2 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 5 =  .
       4 + 9 + 6 + 1 + 3 =  .

  (c)  21  41  22
       32  63  33
       64  63  53
       __  __  __

“Carrying” may now be taught.

12. Practice writing and reading numbers of three, and four, figures.
The pupils at the same time may be given exercises similar to the
following:—

  213
  321
  132
  413
  234
  ___

  769
  758
  897
  786
  594
  ___

Take the last example: the pupil should be taught to _think through it_
rapidly, as follows:—4, 10, 17, 25, 34—write the 4 and carry the 3; 3,
12, 20, 29, 34, 40,—write the 0 and carry the 4; 4, 9, 16, 24, 31, 38;
write the whole result.

13. Let the pupils learn to read numbers as high as millions. For a few
examples, at first, in subtraction, let the numbers in each order of the
minuend be greater than the corresponding ones in the subtrahend; as,

  98
  45
  __

  1364
   631
  ____

  9842
  3512 &c.
  ____

Use practical problems.

14. Next, those examples necessitating “borrowing” or “carrying” may be
given; as,

  137092
   72348
  ______

  6235
  4879
  ____

The method involving “carrying” is the better one. _If equals be added
to two numbers, their difference is not changed._ In the last example,
if 10 is added to 5, to equalize it add 1 to 7, for 10 units of one
order equal one unit of the next higher. Adding the 1 to the 7 is called
“carrying.”

  ··      2 × 1 = 2
  ::      2 × 2 = 4
  :: :    2 × 3 = 6
  :: ::   2 × 4 = 8
         &c. &c.

Let the pupils recite the tables orally. Use for drill the following
problems:—

  987654321
          2
  _________

  123456789
          2
  _________

With the problem on the board let the pupil recite without the aid of
the answer. Similarly use the 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, &c. Along with this part of
the work, how to multiply by a number of two or more figures may be
taught. Placing the multiplication table in the compact rectangular form
found in some arithmetics will be profitable and interesting work.

16. Teach the Roman notation to C; how to tell the time of day; how to
make change with money; and how to solve easy exercises in _pt._, _qt._,
_pk._, and _bu._,—_gi._, _pt._, _qt._, and _gal._—and _in._, _ft._, and
_yd._

17. The teacher, using a pointer, should drill the pupils thoroughly on
the following table. (Try to acquire speed and correctness).

                        2 × 2    3 × 7    8 × 5
                        3 × 2    8 × 3    5 × 9
                        2 × 4    3 × 9    6 × 6
                        5 × 2    4 × 4    7 × 6
                        2 × 6    5 × 4    6 × 8
                        7 × 2    4 × 6    9 × 6
                        2 × 8    7 × 4    7 × 7
                        9 × 2    4 × 8    8 × 7
                        3 × 3    9 × 4    7 × 9
                        4 × 3    5 × 5    8 × 8
                        3 × 5    6 × 5    9 × 8
                        6 × 3    5 × 7    9 × 9

These constitute the multiplication table with the duplicate
combinations cut out, leaving but 36 products to learn in the entire
field of the common multiplication table.

18. Let the division tables now be learned.

  2 into 2 one time     .
  2 into   two times    .
  2 into   three times  .
  2 into   four times   .
  2 into   five times   .
  2 into   six times    .
  2 into   seven times  .
  2 into   eight times  .
  2 into   nine times   .
  2 into   ten times    .

Let the pupils fill the blanks. Let them learn how often 2 is contained
in 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. Also, when the 3’s, 4’s, etc., are
learned, use the intermediate numbers that give remainders. Drill in
mental work. Give examples after each table is learned; as

  2)563480
  ________

  2)7104239
  _________

Show how to write the remainder fractionally. Teach the meaning of ½, ⅓,
and ¼.

19. Teach long division using easy graded examples.

  15)180(
  25)625(

  13)168(
  50)1150(

  25)400(
  115)32467(

20. Learn the divisors of numbers as high as 100. Method of recitation:
Suppose the lesson consists of the numbers 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.

The pupils, with their knowledge of the multiplication table, by
experimental work, and from suggestions by the teacher,—prepare their
slate work as follows:

  The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12.
  The divisor of 25 is 5.
  The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13.
  The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9.
  The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14.
  29 has no divisors.

In the oral recitation, the first pupil, without referring to his slate,
recites as follows:—

The divisors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12; 2 twelves are 24, 3 eights
are 24, 4 sixes are 24, 6 fours are 24, 8 threes are 24, and twelve twos
are 24.

The next pupil recites as follows: The divisor of 25 is 5; 5 fives are
25.

The third recites: The divisors of 26 are 2 and 13; 2 thirteens are 26,
13 twos are 26.

The fourth recites: The divisors of 27 are 3 and 9; 3 nines are 27, 9
threes are 27.

The fifth recites: The divisors of 28 are 2, 4, 7, and 14; 2 fourteens
are 28, 4 sevens are 28, 7 fours are 28, and 14 twos are 28.

The sixth recites: 29 has no divisors; it is a prime number—a number
that can be exactly divided only by itself and unity.

                   INSTITUTE LESSONS. U. S. History.


Most pupils are slow in learning how to study History. The plan here set
forth will lead them to understand how closely and intently the eyes of
the mind must scan each line, if nothing is to escape their vision.

The teacher selects from the lesson words and expressions indicative of
the prominent ideas, and classifies them into those of _times_,
_places_, _persons_ and _miscellaneous items_; the most _difficult
words_, for “dictionary work”; and _general topics_, of which the
preceding divisions are analytic elements. These elements thoroughly
learned, recited, and properly combined bring into use, language and
understanding to help form a foundation for mastering and reciting the
general topics. The teacher’s analysis is placed upon the board. From
this (or a copy of their own) the pupils may prepare the lesson. First,
the pupil is to read (study) his lesson through once or twice, and then
test his work by noting how many of the _elements_ of the lesson he can
“recite.” To recite an element, a pupil states how (or why) the author
has used it, or in what connection it occurs in the lesson. If it
denotes a _person_ to tell who he was; if a _place_ to tell where it is;
&c.

This recitation is necessarily short, but it brings into use language
and understanding to form a foundation for mastering and reciting the
general topics.
