When it was first suggested that the Young Folks' History might need questions for the use of teachers, I consulted my kind adviser, Mr George B. Emerson. His answer was brief, and to the point Prepare a series of questions, and prefix a note. Advising teachers not to use them. I have followed his advice.

The best teachers, no doubt, will make their own questions as they go along; and the additional effort of mind required will be amply repaid by the increased life and interest given to the lesson. But as the book will also be used by teachers who are young, or inexperienced, or overworked, or self-distrustful, I have thought it best to provide them with these printed questions for temporary use, at least. It is not proposed to put any particular set of ques tions into the hands of the pupils. It is believed that the book will prove simple enough to be understood, and interesting enough to be remembered, as a whole.
