Normal School ,a former teacher of
this inspectorate held the convention
spell-bound while h.e dealt with the
subject of Literature. He would firs't
give an appropriate introduction to
each 'selection taken, in order to pre-
' pare the pupils to enter into the
spirit of the poem: eg,—to Break,
Break, Break, a 'history of the two
friends Arthur Hallam ^and Alfred
' Tennyson' should ''first be given; to
the Waterfall, a history of Bryant
should preceed.
He quoted an example from each

tation should proceed from the whole
