Those needed to illustrate special periods may be found in the larger histories. Pupils should be instructed how to interpret them. CHRONOLOGICAL CHART This may be made by the class, on the black-board or on a slated cloth as the work advances. On the left hand of a vertical line are set down the dates, allowing the same space for each ten years, the close of each decade being shown in larger figures. On the right side are set down the events in their proper place. For example, in studying the career of Champlain, the Chart will be begun as follows: CHAMPLAIN =1600= 1603 First visit, when 36 years old, with Pontgrave. 1604 With De Monts and Poutrincourt he undertakes to colonize Acadia; forms a settlement at Port Royal. 1608 Founds Quebec. 1609 Explores Richelieu River and Lake Champlain; forms an alliance with the Hurons and Algonquins against the Iroquois. 1610 Marriage. 1611 Establishes a trading station at what is now Montreal. 1613 Ascends the Ottawa River, expecting to find the way to China; deceived, returns to France. 1615 Brings out the Recollet Fathers to Christianize the Indians; explores the country of the Hurons. =1620= A useful chart which shows the growth of Canada is to be found in Taylor's _Cardinal Facts of Canadian History_, reproduced in Duncan's _The Canadian People_. An Illustrated Chart of Canadian History is published by the United Editors Company, of Toronto. NOTE-BOOKS AND CLASS EXERCISES In the Fourth Form, pupils should copy into a notebook the black-board work--topical outlines, time chart, etc., as a basis for review and for class exercises in composition. Such a topical summary, the joint work of teacher and class, is the best means of review for examination purposes, when one is held. Pupils may occasionally be asked to make from the text-book, without preceding class work, a topical analysis either of a subject which is treated consecutively in the book, such as the War of 1812-14, or of a subject that requires the pupil to collect his material from various parts of the book, or even from several books. In the latter case the teacher should direct the pupil to the proper sources. BIBLIOGRAPHY A. FOR TEACHERS I. _Histories_: (_a_) English: 1. A Short History of the English People. Green. $1.50.
