A good style in reading is not a matter of precept, but of example. Children will catch the style that they hear, good or bad. 3. It is better for a pupil to express the idea, even if he miscalls a word now and then, than to read all the words and have no idea. A wrong idea is better than none at all. 4. Do not find fault with a child's reading, nor tell him it is bad, unless you clearly show where the fault lies, and point out a better way. 5. Encourage a pupil by pointing out the good things in his reading, rather than discourage him by ridiculing the bad qualities. 6. Require the class to listen to individual readers, and tell what is well done, rather than to pick flaws. 7. The teacher should not always have the book in hand when conducting a reading lesson, but depend sometimes upon. the ear alone for criticism. 8. 1. is time and labor saved on all the other studies if pupils are taught to read intelligently; inasmuch as intelligent reading is the key to all knowledge. 9. Care in reference to reading should not be limited to the use of the reading book. When reading from an arithmetic or any other text-book, it should be done. properly-never in a careless or indifferent manner. LXIII. A VISIT TO THE IMAGE-MAKER'S. (Part First.) LXIV.
