THE LAW OF REVIEW. I. Let us suppose the ordinary process of teaching to be finished. The teacher and pupil have met and have done their work together. Language freighted with ideas and aided with illustrations has been uttered and understood. Knowledge with its treasures of truth has been thought into the mind of the learner, and it lies there in greater or less completeness, to feed thought, to guide conduct, and to form character. What more is needed? The teacher's task seems ended. But no! The most delicate, if not also the most difficult, work remains to be accomplished. All that has been done lies hidden in the learner's mind, and lies there as a potency rather than a possession.

What hand shall nurse into larger growth and into permanent force the ideas he has been led to conceive? What process shall fix into active habits the thought-potencies which have been evolved? It is for this final and finishing work that our seventh and last law provides.

When "The Seven Laws of Teaching" was first published in 1884, Gregory called it "his offering on the altar of service to God and his fellowmen." In 1917, however, his "offering" was revised and theological references were excised from the work. 
We now resubmit John Milton Gregory’s "offering" on the altar of service to God and men, hoping that brain power will continue to be developed for years to come.
