PRIOE 15 oe:n^tb / (£di^(d y^i^^^c^ EXPLANATORY NOTE. This little work is based on our authorized text book on History and covers the work thoroughly ; first in detail and again in review, with many years' Entrance and Public School Leaving Examination questions also. I have used and tested this method of teaching history and also many other methods, and found this to be by far the best for creating and keeping up interest. I trust it may prove a boon to busy teachers and make the study of history a pleasure to the pupil. I would suggest to the teacher the following method of teaching with this little book :— Give the pupils a number of questions to prepare. If they find it impossible to answer any question request them to refer to you before the class is called. Add any (question, suggestion or explanation you deem necessary.
