When it be- comes such that the teacher reads the lecture either from his own text or that of another, then one of the poorest phases of teaching has been reached. Why not have the students buy the text, or why not publish the lecture? It then becomes as has been said of it—a method whereby knowledge or information is trans- ferred from the teachers’ note book through the students’ pencil point to the students’ note book without it having ever entered the head of the teacher or the students.” “The development method, ques- tions and answers or assignments in the text is the best method for the students hete,” he said. The art of questioning was elab- orated under six heads: first, that skilled questioning demands rapid adaption on the part of the teacher, he must think clear and rapidly, must have a sense of relative values and have skill in wording questions; sec- ond, the recitation as a place for group progress determines technique, questions should be addressed to the group, then name of the student called, students should not be called upon in fixed order, some device must be used to secure fair distri- bution of questions; and no time must be wasted in assisting or pur- suing individuals; third, adaut commendation and reproval to indi- vidual differences; fourth, rapid pace | for drill questions, slow pace for thought questions; fifth, repetition in questioning; and sixth, call upon in- attentive students frequently.

The teacher should come to class with a definite aim to be reach- ed through the recitation. Professor Salisbury remarked on the importance of good English, and said the general tendency was to be too departmental. Dr. C. C.
