It would be well to place a printed copy of these rules in the hands of each student, to be pasted in the front of the blank book. These blank books should be examined and graded every four or six weeks and should constitute at least a third of the student's grade. The recording of the work in the blank books may be omitted in the community or church classes, at the option of the teacher. But the record of the work by pencil in a cheap tablet _should be insisted upon as absolutely necessary for the best results_. In the academy and college classes the painstaking record in ink has been found by experience to be a most valuable portion of the study. Let the teacher review constantly. Drill the students, singly and collectively, in the recitation material. Emphasize the avoidance of mechanical study. Secure as much consecutive reading of the Word as possible. Feed upon rich truths. Make practical and personal applications of the Word. "All Scripture is profitable." CHART OF THE SIXTY-SIX BOOKS OF THE BIBLE INTRODUCTORY LESSON.
