work in fractions; and to make a good start in
Geography, History, and Language work, at first
by verbal lessons, and later on by the use of carefully
selected text-books. The aim of the Department
will be to develop the child's powers of
attention, observation, and self-control rather than
to weary his brain and memory with abstract facts
and principles.

For the Intermediate and High School Departments
the morning ession will open 9 a. m., and
the afternoon session will close at 3 p. m.

The three Intermediate Classes will receive instruction
in the ordinary grammar school branches.
The pupils in these classes will be expected to have
constant practice in Reading; to finish or nearly
finish the usual school course in Arithmetic; to
complete the course in Grammar and Political
Geography; to study thoroughly the History of
the United States and of England; and in some
cases to begin the study of Latin and Algebra.

In the three years if the High School course the
pupils will study some of the Masterpieces of English
and American authors; will review Arithmetic,
work in Algebra through Quadratics, and study
Plane Geometry; will study Civil Government and
the Constitution of the United States and General
History; will have various short courses in Physical
Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Botany, etc.,
and will, in the case of those desiring it, have lessons
in Latin.
