PRINTED questions, on a lesson paper or in a question book, have a proper place in helping a scholar or a teacher in his lesson study. They suggest to him what specific truth is stated in the text, or what teaching is to be derived from it. But these questions are not to be read off by the teacher in his teaching of the lesson. If a teacher cannot even ask a question about the lesson without having the question before him in writing or print to read out to the scholar, how can he expect the scholar to answer the question properly unless he has the answer in writing or in print before his eyes, to read off to the teacher? Unless, indeed, the teacher expects the scholar to be better prepared with the lesson than he is! But a teacher who would expect that wouldn't be much of a teacher—would he?—S. S. Times.
