The teacher must pounce upon the most listless child, and wake him up.
The habit of prompt and ready response must be kept up.
Recapitulations, illustrations, examples, novelty of order, and ruptures of routine,-
-all these are means for keeping the attention alive and contributing a little interest to a dull subject.
Above all, the teacher must himself be alive and ready,
and must use the contagion of his own example
~ William James,Talks to Teachers
