“I have already gotten some very suggestive hints from it to use in my work as a teacher of teachers.”—Pansy.
“It is a beautiful volume. The illustrations are superb. The plan of teaching by objects seems here to be brought to perfection.”—Westminster (Presbyterian) Teacher.
“The songs, well adapted to children’s voices, are an added charm.”—Faith Latimer.
Why the smallest room for the primary department? The largest can be filled with home heathen.
Why a teacher for eight adults, and forty “wigglers” for one teacher, with “guards” stationed around to suppress activity instead of utilizing it?
The book once bought is permanent, being designed for use year after year, one copy for each mother or teacher in the youngest primary division, so that the first lessons for every child shall be on the life and words of Jesus. No child-lessons can equal those by and about the Master. Thousands of teachers believe this to be the best plan, as proved by their continued use of “Object Lessons on the Life of Christ” during the last few years. It pays to make religious instruction delightsome instead of irksome. The class method is not the “herding” method.

The Illustrative Kindergarten Material.
It Pays to Direct Instead of Suppress the Child’s Activity.
The child who helps build a lesson never forgets it.
THE THREE BOXES OF MATERIAL
make teaching easy. Boxes 1 and 2 contain hard maple blocks, cut into cubes, halves, quarters, squares, and oblongs. Boxes are of cherry, dove-tailed corners, sliding top, durable. Box 3 contains 10 miniature sheep, 30 mounted sticks to represent people (10 of them children), green French tissue-paper for Sea of Galilee, cones and domes, and green splints for river outline and tree building. If the three boxes are ordered with book, purchaser receives free a “Portfolio of Blackboard Sketches on the Life of Christ,” to aid in drawing. The material may be used with any lessons.
THE ROUND TABLE
has beautiful hard top, folding legs, and inside cabinet for material. Seats eight children and teacher. Advantages are these: 1. Each child can reach center of table to help build the lesson. 2. Teacher can reach every child. 3. Table is heavy, so material is not easily shaken down. 4. Can be folded and rolled away, so that any room may be used if none is permanently devoted to the child-garden. 5. Table is varnished, easily cleaned, and lasts a lifetime. Formerly felt top. Hard top is best.
8 LITTLE RED CHAIRS
for the class, and one blue chair for teacher, though not absolutely necessary, are the delight of the children, and add to the convenience of the round table.
The blocks, table, and chairs being practically non-destructible, very little expense attends the running of a large department after the first fitting up.
