Should there be individual recitation in the teaching of music reading? Explain your answer. 5. Write the signatures for six different keys and name them. 6. Is there any difference between the child's voice and the voice of the adult soprano? Explain. 7. What has been neglected in the training of the child who has an ear for music and can recognize the syllable names in the new songs quickly but can not get the tune unaided? 8. Give the marks that are used in music to indicate the following: loud, soft, faster, slower, repeat. 9. Suggest some ways to help the children get the "feeling" for the various rhythmic groupings. 10. Name five good rote songs for the first grade. 11.

The teacher should sing the entire song for the pupils once or twice. Then, have the pupils learn the first phrase by imitation. thus learning each phrase joining them as learned until all are finished. Allow no mistakes to creep in, as they are easier avoided than eradicated. 4. Tito Melema, the beautiful young sirable in music as in English reading, especially in the early study of music. Thus, the teacher is enabled to judge the pupil's ability, and the pupil gains self control and loses self consciousness, both of which are necessary to good singing. 5. See any school text. 6. In upward range the child's voice equals, or often exceeds that of the adult soprano, but is of lighter quality, as the lower tones of the adult voice are the result of the growth of the larynx and increased length of the vocal cords. The shorter the string, the higher the note. 7. The child has not grasped the relationship of tones to each other, or perhaps is unable to appreciate rhythm, as represented by notes. 8. Loud. f: soft, p: faster, accelerando; slower, rallentando or ritardando; repeat, indicated by double dots or by D. C. if the part is repeated from the beginning. Capo means literally "from the head." Da 9. Marching, clapping, dancing are the usual means of cultivating the sense of rhythm. Clapping and counting aloud the ticks of the metronome often helps. 10.

They should be tactfully told that they will learn sooner by listening to those who can sing in tune, than by singing. They can't hear the others when singing themselves, and should be given as much individual attention as time will permit.

An ideal site would be a dry south sunny slope. The house should be square, with an abundance of light from windows on the south; it should be free from draft; dry; yet well ventilated. There should be a pit for droppings, so arranged as to be readily cleaned. It should be rat proof, and so constructed as to be easily kept free from lice. 2. It saves horse power. It makes possible rapid, deep plowing and thorough preparation of the soil for planting. The tractor may be used to drive machinery for filling the silo, sawing wood, threshing, etc. 3. The meat of the larger breeds of sheep is coarse, and lacks the flavor of the medium sized, specially developed mutton types. 4. The rust on wheat developed from a fungus that grows on the barberry. This may find its way to the leaves of oats or wheat. It develops, punctures the tissues of the leaves and feeds upon the juices of the plant. Later it develops into black rust, the spores of which remain through the winter to begin its life cycle again the next spring. 5. Soil analysis determines the proportion of essential elements. If it should be found that the soil is lacking in some essential element the deficiency may be supplied by the use of commercial fertilizer or rotation of crops. 6. Corn, from seed; apple from seed or grafts; strawberry, from seeds or plants that develop from runners. 7. (1) Secure pure, carefully tested seed of the variety adapted to the soil. (2) Prepare the soil by deep plowing, thoroughly pulverizing so as to form a good seed bed. (3) Plant when the ground is warm. (4) Begin cultivation early, the first deep, the others, not so deep, but all level. (5) Keep the ground loose, free from weeds, and at all times level. 8. An incubator is a machine for the artificial incubation of eggs. It comprises a case containing one or more trays for holding eggs, with some form of apparatus for producing heat. It contains a thermostat for regulating heat; it contains ventilators, and appliances for saturating the air; some incubators have appliances for turning the eggs. With the incubator, any desired number of chickens may be hatched at any time of the year, and does not have to depend upon the whim of broody hens.

Illustrate each point in question 3 by a free hand sketch. Make a working drawing of a hall rack and write out the lumber bill for it. Name three kinds of trees that furnish suitable lumber for wood work in the elementary school. What qualities make them suitable? Discuss the forms of Industrial Arts suitable for primary work. How much lumber is required to make a box nine inches deep, two feet wide and six feet long of one inch material? Answers. No cut. 2. The aim of Industrial Arts work in the common school is to acquaint the pupil with different kinds of tools; their uses; the different kinds of materials and their characteristics. The subject should be treated in such a manner as will aid the boy in finding himself vocationally. 3. "Annual rings" are rings formed about the center of a tree. These rings are known as annual rings because one is added each year. "Medullary rays" are bright lines radiating from the center of the tree to the bark. These rays are present in all trees which grow by adding ring upon ring, but in some they are hardly visible. "Wind shake" is noticed in lumber by a fissure of check in the boards caused by its being dried too suddenly. "Season check" is caused by drying too rapidly causing the timber to shrink unevenly, and thus cause serious checks known as "season checks". 4. No cut. 5. No cut. 6. Three kinds of trees which produce suitable lumber for woodwork, in the grades are pine, cypress, and chestnut. The qualities which make them suitable are their fine grain, soft tissues, medium weight, and low value classed with other materials. 7. The forms of Industrial Arts suitable for Primary work are cardboard construction, clay modeling, and weaving. These courses teach the pupils how to use their hands; and help to train the mind, and the hand so they will act more closely in harmony with each other. The outline of the work in these classes must be left to the teacher in charge. 8.

BUSY TEACHER "What educational journals shall I take next year?" We also publish The Excelsior Literature This is one of the questions which teachers will soon be asking themselves and it is a question deserving of the most careful consideration. The journals to which a teacher subscribes constitute a most important part of her professional equipment and no teacher, in justice to herself and her work, can afford to provide herself with anything but the best and most helpful educational journals obtainable. There are various educational magazines from which the teacher may select-good magazines all of them-but some, of course, better suited to her particular needs than others. For that reason the teacher should carefully consider the merits of each magazine in relation to her own work before making her selection. If you are not already familiar with Normal Instructor-Primary Plans, we want to send you a free sample copy. All that you need to do is to write your name and address in the coupon below and mail to us. After you have received the magazine, examine it carefully and decide for yourself whether or not it is the sort of a journal to which you wish to subscribe. That is all we ask.
