Aid in answering the second problem may be found in the following
paragraph:

A series of interesting studies may be founded on the use which authors
make of nature by way of direct and indirect allusion in their works.
Such lessons are the opposite of those we have been considering. Now,
the literary selection is taken first, read carefully and the allusions
noted and classified. It will be noticed that it is not necessary that
selections used for this purpose should be new to the pupils. In fact,
genuine literature has the merit of being always new, always
interesting. No better service can be rendered to a child than to create
in him a love for the fine things in literature. Continued, monotonous
study of a masterpiece may breed dislike of it, especially if the
exercises are dull and formal. But to approach an old favorite from a
new direction, to look at it from a new point of view, is to lend it
added charms.

A. To illustrate our method, we will use _The King of the Golden River_
(Volume II, page 405).

1. _Assignment._ The leader assigns the work as follows: "I wish you to
read the first section of _The King of the Golden River_ and write in
the order of their occurrence, every mention of a living thing or
natural object and every allusion to them. Use the words of the story
when possible, but be brief. After each put a number, to show the page
of the story. Let us see who can find the greatest number and who can
make the best paper."

2. _Preparation._ If the children work well their lists will be
something like this:

a. The valley in the mountains. Page 405.
(1) Snow-covered peaks; cataracts; a crag; river; circular hollows.
(2) Heavy crops; high hay; red apples; blue grapes; rich wine; sweet
honey.
(3) Blackbirds; hedgehogs; crickets; cicadas.
(4) Corn.

b. The wet summer. Page 407.
(1) Hay; vines; corn.

c. A nice piece of mutton. Page 408.

d. Must be the wind. Page 408.

e. A black feather some three feet long. Page 409.

f. Like a beaten puppy's tail. Page 410.

g. Like a mill stream. Page 410.

h. Licking its chops. Page 410.

i. A gust of wind that made the old chimneys totter. Page 411.

j. Quicksilver-like streams. Page 411.

k. Like a straw in the high w
