Before commencing these lessons, two boys are selected by the master, who perhaps are not monitors.

These two boys bring the children up to a chalk line that is made near No.

1 post, eight at a time; one of the boys gets eight children standing up ready, always beginning at one end of the school, and takes them to this chalk line, whilst the other boy takes them to No.

1 post, and delivers them up to the charge of No.

1 monitor.No.1 monitor then points to the different animals with a pointer, until the name of every one that is on his plate has been repeated; this done, he delivers them to No.
