SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER The teacher is recommended to study sources in preparing her work, making selections where possible, for the pupil's use.

Some knowledge of European history (English especially) is essential for understanding our early history, and definite work of this nature on the teacher's part, at least, is earnestly advised.
Encourage outside reading by assigning subjects for individual preparation, the results to be given to the class.

Let the children keep note books for entering the important points thus given.
Map study and map drawing should be constant, but demand correct relations rather than finished drawings.
