ATTENTION
OUTLINE--CHAPTER XI
Attention the mother of learning.--Gregory quoted.--The fact of
attention in the Army.--What attention
is.--Illustrations.--Attention and interest.--The three types of
attention: Involuntary, nonvoluntary, voluntary.--How to secure
attention.--Interest the great key to attention.
In that stimulating little book, _The Seven Laws of Teaching_, by
Gregory, _et al_, the second law is stated in these words:
"A _learner_ is one who _attends_ with interest to the lesson."
Expressed as a rule of teaching, the law is made to read:
"Gain and keep the attention and interest of the pupils upon the
lesson. Do not try to teach without attention."
As a matter of fact, it is impossible to teach without attention.
