1. Teacher—know thoroughly and familiarly the lesson you wish to teach. In other words, teach from a full mind and a clear understanding.
  2. Learner—gain and keep the attention and interest of the pupils on the lesson. Refuse to teach without attention.
  3. Language—use words understood in the same sense by both teacher and pupil—language clear and vivid to both.
  4. Lesson—begin with what is already well known to the pupil in the lesson or on the subject. Then proceed to the unknown in single, easy, natural steps, letting the known explain the unknown.
  5. Teaching Process—use the pupil’s own mind, exciting his self-activities. Keep his thoughts as much as possible ahead of your expression, making him a discoverer of truth.
  6. Learning Process—require the pupil to reproduce in thought
    the lesson he is learning and thinking it out in its parts, proofs, connections, and applications until he can express it in his own language.
  7. Review—review, review, REVIEW, reproducing correctly the old, deepening its impression with new thought, and correcting false views.
