Rh successive chapters of the story illustrate the constructions discussed in the Lesson immediately preceding, and, coming as they do between the Lessons, pupils have a chance to digest what they have just learned before they are called upon to take up something new.

LESSON LXI

§ 344. Pronounce and have the class repeat these paradigms. Explain the formation fully in each conjugation and emphasize especially the importance of the mood sign.

§ 346. The importance of a thorough mastery of this article cannot be overestimated. It lays the foundation for all future work on the syntax of the subjunctive. It would be well to have the class memorize the Latin sentences with their translations.

§ 347. Write on the board other English sentences, some of which would in Latin require the subjunctive and others the indicative, and have the class specify in each case.

LESSON LXII

§ 350. Require the class to memorize this article and the examples in § 351.

§ 352. Dwell on the point that Latin prose does not use the infinitive to express purpose.

§ 353. Prepare additional simple sentences containing purpose clauses, which the class can translate orally or at the board from dictation.

LESSON LXIII

§ 354. Pronounce and have the class repeat these paradigms.

§ 356. The law of tense sequence is of great importance. Write the table in § 357 on the board, and keep it there until every pupil has mastered its theory and its practice.

§ 360.I. Change the principal verbs in these sentences to a primary tense and have the class make the necessary changes in the tenses of the dependent subjunctives.
