“The frame-work will prevent the events, which are given out of their historical order, from being shaken together into chaos. It requires considerable thinking power to understand time-relations in history.” (Beale, 604)

“The book should always be deeply interesting, and when the narration is over, there should be a little talk…pictures shown to illustrate the lesson, or diagrams drawn on the blackboard.” (1/233)
