he "marshalling in
arms"? Stanzas V and VI. What stanzas picture
"Battle's magnificently stern array"? Stanzas
V and VII. Now contrast all these pictures with
the last. The story is epitomized, and the end
described--"friend, foe,--in one red burial
blent!"

The pupils should now read the poem, in order that the teacher may judge
by the varying tones and movements whether it has been properly
appreciated.

THREE SCENES IN THE TYROL

(Fourth Reader, page 336)

AIM

To lead the pupils to appreciate the thrilling pictures and to
understand the means by which the author has produced this vividness.

PREPARATION

The pupils have been required to read this lesson at their seats or at
home.

Where is the Tyrol situated? It is a province
in the Austrian Alps directly east of
Switzerland. (Show its position on the map.)

The mountains are majestic, high, precipitous;
the people daring and independent. The Tyrol is
noted for the many accidents which happen to
mountain-climbers. Who are the chief persons
concerned in these three scenes? Maximilian I,
Charles V, and Napoleon.

The author wishes to give, amid the most
impressive surroundings, three stirring events
in the lives of three great Emperors. State
briefly the first story. The Emperor Maximilian
was hunting a chamois, when he slipped on the
edge of the precipice, rolled helplessly over,
and caught a jutting ledge of rock, which
interrupted his descent. An outlaw hastened to
his assistance and guided him to safety.

PRESENTATION

I

Yes, this story is often called "The Rescue".
Let us note how the author helps us to see the
picture. Where does he place the spectator? On
a "thread-like road" running between the rocky
bank of the Inn River and the foot of the
precipice of the Solstein.

What does the author ask you, as the imaginary
spectator, to do? To throw your head back and
look upward.

Why? The precipice towers perpendicularly many
hundred feet above you. He wishes you to
imagine you are standing on this road and the
scene is taking place before your eyes.

What do you see? A hunter in pursuit of a
chamois.
