the "young idea how to shoot" as the
work of the other grades are commenced
here. The resi- possibility OF a teacher in
| this branch isHreater than in any other
in the school, and that in our school this
responsibility is correctly placed in Mrs.
Harvey, and that she assumes it with
confidence andability is marked in every
piece of work,
We now pass to the second gradeA iB
charge OF Mis- Chew, where you find She
work OF the first grade further develoled
with the same care and ability which
marks the school throughout. The OH
ject is drawn by the pupil and explained
by the teacher. The third grade, in
charge OF Miss Halsey, completes the OBJ
ects shown in the second grade, and the
pupil is required to write what he knows
concerning the subject. In this grade
study OF geography and botany is COM
mcnced by outline work. Pictures Of
leaves and .fruit, maps of states and
countries, etc, are drawn by the pupils
to be further developed in the fourth
grade, in charge OF Prof. Hanna, where
you find the maps more intricate and the
pictures Of plants and fruit more perfect,
and the explanation and facts concern.
ing them enlarged. In this grade the
principles of hygiene are taught, which
is continued. in the fifth grade, in charge
of Miss Shaw, where other branches are
grades, in charge Of Prof. Wilson, COM
pletes the elementary work and takes
up all the branches in the grammar
grade; the same system of diagrams and
maps being used where possible. In the
eighth grade, in charge OF Prof. Harvey,
is the finishing work OF the lower grades.
Physiology, geography and history are
illustrated by maps, diagrams and fig
ures which Chow complete knowledge of
the pupil OF the subject and the evidence
Of trained hand and eye. Each part
of the human body is taken up and dis
cussed and diagrams drawn, and when
all parts ar. finished the complete whole
showing ltiF1reIc5obns OF the parts con-
pIete the woF6. The drawings i'll phys
iology are certainly wonderful colors of
healthy and unhealthy parts, and the
effect of alcohol on the human system is
perfectly shown.
The work OF the entire school is neat
and thorough. This work will be sent
to the worlds fair for display in the ed
ucational department., when similar
work from all the public schools of the
nation will be displayed. The wire
work spoken OF is specially with the
Pullman school, and will, no doubt, com
mand special attention.
Pullman citizens may have no hesi-
fancy in looking up the exhibits OF
school work at the exhibition, as they
will view with pride the work of ourl
school, when compared with others that
will be there, We have not the least
doubt OF any being superior, as it is as
perfect as it is possible to make it.
WV HdNt itdHoll 10 congratulate our
selves that we have a public school with
a corps OF teachers not equalled in the
state; hence, in the Union. Time will
not permit us to say all that we would
like to in this matter, the work OF each
teacher being deserving OF special and
particular notice. We specially mention
the primary teachers, because we con-
slider their work the most difficult and
less susceptible OF apparent results. In
these departments the entire result, |
almost, is the work of the teachers,
while in the higher grades, the scholar
being older, is the direct medium of the
result, the teacher being the guide and
director; yet, the master mind OF the,
teacher is seen in every grade OF our
school, and the future men and women
of this community are being trained for
citizenship in a manner worthy of the
great State Of Washington, and of the
grandest nation on earth. Long NAV
our public school continue to have
teachers so worthy of such great respon-
sibilities as are the present faculty.
