Excerpt from The Call of the Home Land: A Study in Home Missions The old idea welcomes its new-found kinsman and bids it be at ease in the mind. The new idea is now established and its qualities are described at leisure and in detail. In order that it may be come living, it should be thoroughly illustrated in various ways. The class now takes the new matter up for seri ous consideration. It is divided into paragraphs, into sentences; its objects and actions are separated and named. One statement is compared with another, or with other knowledge, and things that are alike are classed together. Then from this analysis, comparison, and classification comes a general statement of the truth to be taught. This statement should always be framed by the class with the aid of the leader. In order that the possession of an idea may be tested, reproduction is necessary. Pupils should be encouraged to tell what they have learned in their own language, and for the sake of complete ness and accuracy of statement it should be written now and then.
