ers. need special and thorough

to deal with the .child's physical,

the physical nature, the teacher
should understand Anatomy, Ply 81.
ology, Hygiene, Science OF Govern
mcnt, Gymnastics, Light, Heat, Ven
tilation, Temper ature, the time, place
and manner OF play, and vocal cul-

we must know something OF Mental
Philosophy, Numbers, Language,
Geography and History; Or,hcgra-
ply and Biography; Reading and
Writing, Color, Form, Size, Weight,
Drawing, Vegetation. Chemistry and
Minerals.
A brief summary and we have the
