ls are
prepared. The "Suggestive Questions" will be found very helpful here.

Care has been exercised in the division of the subject matter that each
lesson may, in a sense, be complete in itself. The lessons are supposed to
occupy twenty-five or thirty minutes; this, with the nature of the subject
matter and the number of unfamiliar words, determining the length of the
lessons.

The poem is to be studied twice:--

First, a general survey to get the story and the characters clearly in mind.

Second, a careful study of the text that the beauty and richness, the
artistic and ethical values of the poem may be realized.

It is obvious that no scheme, however carefully wrought out, can in any
sense be a substitute for earnestness, enthusiasm and sympathy; and careful
preparation is an absolute essential of all successful teaching. With these,
it is believed, excellent results may be secured by use of this plan.
