In teaching at this stage, almost the whole of the class instruction may be in Irish. Henceforth even the incidental remarks of the teacher will go to increase the pupils knowledge of the language, and this language being real, will help to fix persons, tenses and moods in their minds.

Ten minutes ought to be devoted to conversation at the close of the lesson, and this conversation should be closed naturally by references to the the lateness of the hour, the need for breaking up, and the usual parting salutations.
