Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teaching Outline to Accompany the Practical Use of Books and Libraries: An Elementary Manual The object of this outline is to furnish the high school teacher or librarian a practical method for teaching the "Practical Use of Books and Libraries." It will be necessary to fit the outline to local needs. For instance, it may be advisable to introduce the first group of reference books before the card catalogue, or specific reference books in different order, or substitute other titles for those given. But whatever changes are made, it is strongly urged that the following general principles be observed: 1. The free use of the oral quiz especially with younger classes so as to draw on the student's own experience. 2. The avoidance of mere lecturing or above all, dictating. 3. The illustration of every point by a concrete example from books themselves when possible, from the blackboard, or from the Manual. 4. The clinching of each lesson by a written exercise. Before beginning the lessons, a test on the alphabet should be given, to make sure that students understand strict alphabetical order. The words of a spelling lesson can be used for this exercise. In this case, the words should be dictated for spelling in the ordinary way; they can then be torn apart, re-arranged and re-copied in alphabetical order on another sheet. Or, several words (some of them beginning with the same letter), can be written on the board, and suggestions can be called for as to their proper arrangement. The words can be rewritten in another column as suggestions are made. When time is limited, written exercises can be done outside of class.
