SCHOOL OF

m. After that for several hours, heavy
black thunder clouds hung around the
horizon. The day has cleared away,
breezy but sultry. The wearing effect
OF crowded exercises was seer in the at
tendance at DR.. Parks bible class at 9 a.
m. Twenty men and about quarter of
that number OF ladies were present. The

KINDERGARTEN WORK.
Continuing our visit among the
schools the reporter came to the kinder
garten tent occupied by Miss Dunbar
and the children. Here fifteen or
twenty little cupids of all sizes and ages
were intent on describing young trees
which they had brought for analysis.
They were also intent on many other
things while at their lessons, but Miss
Dunbar keeps in work and place with
remarkable facility. The kindergarten
work comprises three departments; first
the mothers class, devoted to the study
of child nature following the methods of
Miss Harrison's book on that subject.
There is also a teachers class OF meth
DDS. In the childrens' class at 1918 a.
m, the regular kindergarten work with
the songs, games, gifts, and occupations,
is taken up.
DRAWING.
Miss Mawson is doing u quiet and
successful work with her pupils in draw
ing. From being the foundation for this
art, the study OF form is made the first
consideration. Then comes a careful
study of the type solids, with paper fold
ing and cutting. Thus work looks very
cute to an observer and we would like to
appreciate some of it ourselves. This
work is followed by representative draw
ing illustrating the principles of per-
spective drawing.
BOTANY.
The class in botany is also taught by
Miss Mawson and the teaching aims at
a general. view OF the subject, beginning
with the first forms and tracing the de-
velopments of plant life through the
cryptogams. Outline study of root,
stem, leaves, etc., is given, followed by
analysis and classification Of plants.

John. HUss."
DR.. Crawford at Ii a. m. addressed a
good sized audience in his lecture on
"John Huss.n He referred to the up
rising OF the Bohemian people at the
present time as a counterpart of that
ancient Bohemia OF John Huss in the
14th century. Then she was the most
free. independent and aggressive nation
in Europe; but the land was disgraced
by the corruptions Of the papal church
and Huss, following the example of
Wyckli fe in England, rose as the relig-
ious leader aud hberator Of his people.
Educated at the university Of Prague,
he afterwards became Its Chancellor.
He was a great popular preacher and by
this means, through his large audiences
in Bethlehem chapel, he moulded public
opinion to a greater extent than the un-
iversity itself. Conscience and word
divine his watchword. He fought for
reform in church abuses and came under
the ban OF the lpope. D-iven from
Prague he lived two years In exile, re-
turned to trial before the conncifof Cot
STAINS, wal condemned, communicated
and sent to his martyrdom at the stake,
The speakers preroration was perfectly
sublime and the lecture throughout one
OF the greatest OF the course.
