The Teacher’s Questions

If a teacher is questioning a scholar about the scholar's personal feelings or history, he may properly ask a question without knowing what answer to expect. But if the question is about the lesson of the day, or about any great truth or doctrine, the teacher ought to have in mind the answer he looks for, before he shapes the question; and then the question ought to be so shaped as to bring just that answer—as the only proper one. Nine times out of ten, a poor answer is evidence of a poorer question, in a Sunday-school class.—S. S. Times.
