X SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS school hours, and only the checking up, summaries, and drills need consume the recitation time. The tables of drills given throughout the text should be used carefully by teachers. Many are printed in script because of a number of evident advantages. Some of these tables, as those on pages 219, 220, and 221 of the Primary book, should be used for a short time each day, for several days in succession. In the use of such tables use a time limit, encouraging the pupils to work rapidly and accurately. Have the pupils score their results each day, as suggested in the text, and keep their scores for several days. They will thus be able to measure and observe their own progress from day to day, and will try to improve their records. Teachers who understand the graphing of statistics might show the pupils how to picture their progress by means of graphs of their daily scores. These drill tables, involving contest and the game element, have been used in this way with unbounded interest on the part of the pupils, and with gratifying results. 54.
