Tassieds pas sur le compte-gouttes (SAN ANTONIO) (French Edition)

---

The French Exercise may be recited in the following manner: When the student has done so, the teacher gives the English, and the student, or better the whole class, gives the French: The father and mother of the child. The students should be requested to prepare a written translation of the Theme, and to bring it to the class-room. The teacher should ask them to translate, each in turn, a sentence, and direct them to write their sentences on the blackboard, without looking at their written translations.

If there are a sufficient number of blackboards in the class- room, several scholars may be writing their sentences at the same time, and the whole exercise may be corrected in a few minutes. When the teacher goes to the blackboard and corrects the sentences, in the order in which they are in the exercise, he ghould direct the pupils to correct, at the same time, their own exercises.

The copy-books con- taining the corrected exercises should be examined from time to time, in order to ascertain whether they have been carefully and properly corrected.
