In the Senior Department, a large portion of the
instruction given is in the form of familiar lectures
and conversation The lessons are fully explained
and abstract prepared by the teacher is dictated
These dictations are written in blank book and
afterwards committed to memory thus the necessity
of each pupils possessing textbook is obviated
and each prepares abstract weekly it cannot
be objected that they will not learn to generalize for
themselves. There is also weekly class for the ex
the leading events of the day. Weekly Lectures
will be delivered Physiology. Philosophy, History,
Astronomy, Literature, and the Fine Arts. -
On the first Friday in every month the classes are
reviewed. Parents invited to visit the class
rooms on these days, that they may see the manner
in which the school is conducted and judge of the
improvement made. adj
