1. By a regular attendance on the weekly teachers’ meeting. That is an
essential part of a teacher’s week-day work.
2. By systematic visiting of pupils in their homes. This will insure an
acquaintance which could in no other way be obtained.
3. By cultivating the reading habit in the pupil. How? By giving some
good weekly paper or magazine which you have finished; by loaning good
books; by interesting the family in such organizations as the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle.
4. By inviting pupils to entertainments, to the teacher’s home in winter,
and to the woods and fields in summer.
5. By establishing little class Normal classes, and teaching some of the
many interesting things parallel to the general work of the Sunday-school.
This brief outline may serve as a nucleus for thought by the student, and
may suggest a general plan, of which the details can be wrought out by
the individual teacher.
