Types of Visual Aids and Their Uses .r).r) the lesson assignment or the pupil may be encouraged to look up his own references. The individual use of the stereograph is most valuable, always, when it is followed by the group use of the lantern slide in class. A most effective use of stereographs is to assign to individuals definite stereographs to study, with a view to reporting with the aid of the duplicate lantern slide during the class period. Let us suppose that a study of cotton has been undertaken by the class.

Now we get the duplicate lantern slides to review and summarize the stereographs which have given the pupils their impression of realness and clearness, and that have furnished such vivid conceptions of the pictured situation that will accentuate the pictorial values of the projected lantern slide. Pictures of scenes with which we are familiar always mean more to us. We put perspective and understanding into pictures of our summer home, and into the pictures of places that we have visited in far away lands. Our familiarity with the real places makes the pictures mean more to us than they mean to our friends. The boy or girl, standing at the projected lantern slide with pointer in hand, who has studied the stereograph, is in somewhat the same situation. He sees with eyes of interest and understanding that bring from him spontaneous self-expression and inspire class discussion unparalleled in any other situation. "Stereographs are a wonderful aid to study and give the individual
