Q.Who teaches the spider to make its web?
A.God.

Q.Could any man in the world make a spider's web?
A.No, no one could do it.
The teacher may then add thus:--Thus you see, little children, that every living thing has some merit of its own, and can do many things which we cannot do, although God has given us the means to become so much wiser than they; and be sure you are not frightened at them, nor put them to unnecessary pain.

Some other day I will tell you what is the shape of the spider's web, and shew you what a number of regular figures the spider's web is composed of.
Almost every object, however simple it may be, will form an instructive gallery lesson; thus for example, you may take a piece of bog-turf, and after submitting it to the inspection of the infants, you may inquire, What is this?
If it be in a country where turf is used, a general exclamation will inform you of its name; if not, you may find a better and more familiar object for your lesson.

When you have got the name, you may then ask its uses, and will soon find that the children are well acquainted with them.

You may then proceed to give your own information on the subject in something like the following words, taking care that you use no word that the children do not themselves understand, or that you have not explained to them.
Little children, look at what I hold.
