ation. Have this number written out at the desk and hand to your teacher for correction.

NOTE. Take

up

the colonies one by one as the class progresses with the advance lessons on the Intercolonial Wars and make out a form daily with the assistance of the members of the class, thus:

From 1607 to 1624, Commercial Corporation.

Massachusetts. Virginia.

66

1624 to 1675, Royal Province.

66

1675 to 1684, Proprietary Government.

[ocr errors]

1684 to 1776, Royal Province.

From 1620 to 1692, Voluntary Association (Plymouth

From 1628 to 1686, Charter Government (Mass. Bay
Colony).

RECITED." From 1607 to 1624 Va. was governed by a commercial corporation." "From 1624 to 1675 Va. was governed by a governor appointed by the King." "From 1675 to 1684 Va. was governed by a proprietor." "From 1684 to 1776 Va. was a royal province."

The elements of population were from England, Holland, Sweden, France, Scotland, Ireland and Germany. Read your histories to determine which colonies were settled by each nation. Make out the facts, thus: New York was settled by people from Holland. Massachusetts was settled by people from England, etc.

The religion of the colonists was made up from the Catholics, Protestants, Church of England, Congregationalists, Dutch Reformed and Quakers. Make a list of colonies with name of leading church.

Whenever you are certain that you have a good comprehensive view of the colonies it will be time to lay aside the labor of writing up the forms suggested.

Do not neglect the reviews suggested in this brief outline. A search for classified knowledge, even though you leaf the whole book, is worth more than reading the whole text consecutively.

Search for new things.

Fix the old ones.

Omit nothing.
