Excerpt from Opening Exercises for Schools
In nearly every well organized school a short period is set apart for opening exercises each morning. It will vary from five to fifteen minutes and on special occasions it may run even longer. It should never be long enough for pupils to grow tired or restless. It must be made interesting. It must recall the wandering minds of the pupils gathered from the various homes and focus them upon the work at hand. It must turn their minds from the petty troubles of the morning to the more interesting exercises of the school. To put the minds of the pupils in tune and in harmony with the social spirit of the school, to call them from distracting things and to unify them by centering upon the topic of general interest is the first and greatest purpose of the opening exercise period.
The opening exercise, however, will in addition to its first and greatest purpose furnish an excellent opportunity to impress lessons in morals, right conduct, patriotism and other virtues. It will give occasion also for interesting experiments in physics and chemistry, illustrations of strange things in geography and travel, as well as explanations and clinching of dry but important facts. The teacher who prepares properly for the opening exercises will find the period one of the most profitable of the day. It will increase the school interest, help to prevent tardiness, and improve the social spirit and school conduct of the pupils.
