In order to arouse this curiosity teachers make use of skits, diagrams, and comparisons in explaining conventional ideas. Familiar incidents serve to explain events that have occurred in past times or distant places. To aid the stu- dents in recalling facts, amusing sayings and anecdotes are used. Encouraging class participation, teachers endeavor to get the students interested enough to learn by doing. Projects, term papers, class recitations, and book re- ports serve to awaken the students, interest in the vari- ous phases of the subject. The results of the teachers, efforts depend on their ability to communicate with the students. Teachers Hnd that even slang and colloquialisms have their place in the classrooms. TO PROMOTE the student's interest teachers explore new methods of teaching and discuss common problems at faculty meetings. 20

Various Aspects Provide Interest The teacher's enthusiasm for his subject encourages the development of the student's interest. The dedica- tion of the teachers shown in efforts to increase their knowledge by attending symposiums, summer schools, and conventions adds an extra incentive for students to do better. Through the teachers' endeavors at writing poetry, composing musical scores, or other applications of their subjects, students find that knowledge is not all learn- ing but also doing. To encourage greater interest and achievement in sports, coaches work with the students, helping them out and often playing themselves. Staying after school, each teacher is willing to dis- cuss his subject with the student, explaining the lesson or answering questions. The teacheris interest is converted into the student,s.
