Students should be encouraged to find their own illustrations for certain well-defined statements. Take, for instance, the paragraph _Imitation_ under numbered paragraph 6, on page 144. One or more students may be asked to bring illustrations of this statement from their own home or Sunday-school experience in a given week. One will tell how he saw a neighbor's boy try to keep step with his father while on a walk. Another will describe the actions of a little girl she saw dressed in her mother's skirt--actions plainly imitative of the mother herself. Illustrations like these observed and reported by the students themselves will greatly aid in the study of the section, and will be much more valuable than illustrations ordinarily furnished in the text. The leader is urged, however, to challenge any illustration which misses the point or gives a wrong impression. #Bringing the Teaching to a Focus.#--In some cases the superintendent of the department which includes the age under discussion (as, for instance, The Beginners Department), whether a member of the class or not, may be invited to tell in from five to ten minutes how far he or she is able to meet the _opportunities_, supply the _needs_, overcome the _difficulties_, and realize the _results_ so clearly stated by Mrs. Lamoreaux in the closing paragraphs of each chapter. This would give the whole lesson a local setting and application. The Teacher The remarks in the first paragraph of the section under The Pupil, just preceding, apply equally here. Outside help is desirable, but simplicity in treatment must be maintained. Profound knowledge of a subject does not insure ability to restate that knowledge in simple terms. Better not have the profound knowledge displayed if it is going to leave the students in confusion. The principle of home-made illustrations referred to above applies equally well to the section on The Teacher. It is safe to say that each adult student in the class will remember teachers who have excelled in the points enumerated by Dr. Brumbaugh. The student should be encouraged to take a statement like that found in paragraph 4, page 182, and say to himself: "Which of my teachers was notably enthusiastic? How did this enthusiasm impress me? How did it help him in teaching great truths?" These observations may frequently need to be made quietly to the student's self. But they will greatly help him to master the laws of teaching.
