GENEALOGICAL TABLES

Those needed to illustrate special periods may be found in the larger histories.  Pupils should be instructed how to interpret them.

CHRONOLOGICAL CHART

This may be made by the class, on the black-board or on a slated cloth as the work advances.  On the left hand of a vertical line are set down the dates, allowing the same space for each ten years, the close of each decade being shown in larger figures.  On the right side are set down the events in their proper place.  For example, in studying the career of Champlain, the Chart will be begun as follows:
