HARWOOD'S NEW TEACHERS.

tnlrty-Iour years or age and mas nad
eight years experience in teaching,
III the leading Female College of
North Carolina. President Minick,
of Davenport Female College, where
she has been teaching, says of her:
"She is very thorough in scholar
ship, decidedly skilled in imparting
knowledge and always successful in
discipline. Her influence upon the
religious life of the girls has proved
blessing to many" She has spent
the greater part Of This year in Eu-
rope studying, but will return by
the 1st of September. Miss Vinton
will teach French, Latin, Mathe-
mntics and Elocution, through all
! the grades.
Miss Susan a. Poison, of King
ston, Ontario, is graduate of the
University of Canada and OF the
State Normal, and has had seven
years experience in the school room
She is thoroughly prepared for Kin
derg2rten and Primary work and
will have charge of these departs
ments. Her ''busy work." that is,
ler sand and clay modelling, paper
cutting and folding, sewing on per-
forated paper, and drawing; her
songs and games and stories; her
object teacing and oral work will
captivate the little children. Don't
prosecute your little child by max
her waste two or three months on
her q. b. c.'s, and the Webster's
speller, but send her to Miss Poison
who will teach her after Natures
method and make her love books
and school.
Parents may rest assured. that the
little ones will not be neglected, but
will receive the most careful trains
ing by the most approved methods.
We prefer that parents would not
teach the children their letters be-
fore sending them to school, az the
child in such cases is at a positive
disadvantage but we ask that they
leave the first three months work
entirely to our primary teacher. The
old Alphabetic method has been
superseded in the best schools by
the word and sentence method,
taught from charts and blackboard,
and the mixing of methods confuses
the child and cripp)es the work of
the teacher, Send us your FIVE, six
and seyen-y ear-old little girls the
first Wednesday in September.
Don't wait till October or lie: them
be irregular ; for then they get be-
hind and lose interest. Everything
depends upon being interested.
Thirty little girls started together
can be taught to read more
easily and quickly than one or two
because you can awaken more inter-
est. Miss Poison will make spec
ialty of this department, and we
most confidently ask your patronage,
believing we can give you the best
primary room in the state.
The rates of tuition in the Kin
dergarten and Primary will be two
dollars per month, or So per term of
five months.
Grammar Grades, 50 per month,
or SD per term.
Highschool Grades, 81 per month,
or SIT per term.
College Grades, S. per month, or
s24 per term.
The term rates include term fee
but reserve the State fund. The
monthly rate does not include term
of IS cents, but allows State fdnd
at end of year, if the pupil does not
stop school.
