Obviously as the year advances, the list of questions for review grows

of this sort.

_They will insure a better acquaintance with great men and women_

The most superficial observation will suffice to convince anyone that
high school graduates know very little about the great men and women of
history. The character sketches suggested earlier in the chapter,
supplemented with occasional reviews, will do much to improve this
condition. These drills may be conducted by asking for brief statements
on the greatest service or the most distinguishing characteristic of the
great men and women met with in the course. The same thing is
accomplished by reversing the process and asking such questions
as,--"Who was the American Fabius"? or "The Great Compromiser"? or the
"Sage of Menlo Park"? etc. Questions on the authorship of great
documents, the founders of institutions, the organizers of movements,
reformers, philosophers, artists, statesmen, generals, accomplish the
same purpose.

following list on American history will illustrate the method:--

1. Was Cromwell's colonial policy helpful to the American colonies?

2. Did the Revolution of 1688 have any effect on the colonies?

3. Were the Huguenots excluded from Canada?

9. Does funding a debt lessen it?

10. Did Hamilton's measures tend to centralize power?

11. Did the mem
