E-text prepared by Barbara Tozier, Bill Tozier, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Recitation" by George Herbert Betts is an educational treatise written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the teaching methods employed during recitation periods in schools, aiming to clarify the concept and practices surrounding this crucial aspect of education.

At the start of the book, Betts outlines the need for clarity in defining recitation, separating its administrative aspect from its more educative role. He highlights the critical functions of a teacher in managing a class while also engaging in meaningful instruction during recitation. The opening portion elaborates on the significance of having clear aims for recitations, and the necessity for effective questioning, preparation, and management to ensure that students not only engage with the material but also develop the skills they need to express their knowledge accurately. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the art of teaching through recitation, emphasizing practical strategies for teachers to enhance the learning experience.
