Of the course AS a means of promoting
mental discipline, the study of modern
languages has no equal, as il brings the
minds of the students in contact with those
OF the great authors OF other countries.
In our French course, writers of the
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth
centuries are studied, the great works
of Corneille, Racine, Moliere, Voltaire.
Montesquien, Lamartine, v. Hugo and

LATIN DEPARTMENT.

The study of Latin was introduced at the
establishment of the high school, with Miss
L. NJ. Dame in charge of the department.
By her scholarly qualities and enthusiasm
for the work, she gave TO the study prom
inent and valuable place in the curriculum.
The three years course as planned by her,
included the study of Caesar, Cicero aud
Virgil.
With the growth of the school, this
department has grown. Instead OF one
teacher, there are now five teachers at
the Central High School, and two at each
of the branches. The number OF pupils
pursuing the study is about 800. A four
years course planned to meet the full
requirements for college has been adopted
The amount of Latin actually read, how
ever, must vary from year TO year with the
maturity OF the pupils. The study OF
Latin composition, so valuable an aid in
and constructions, accompanies the read
ing of the various authors.
In the third and fourth years forty
lessons are devoted to the study of Collars
Latin Composition" Forty lessons in the
fourth year are devoted to exercises in
sight reading; at the same time a more
general study of the literature OF the
language is aimed at.
1t is many years since pupils were re-
quired to complete the study of the Latin
grammar memoriZing forms, rules, and
exceptions, before using these forms in
the Latin sentences. A graduated series
OF exercises illustra ting the uses of forms
rs they were required, has for long
time accompanied the study of grammar
in the first year. Moreover, with these be-

IN THE FRENCH CLASSES,

During the last decade the study of
modern languages has been growing more
popular both in this country and in Europe.
In France, where, ten years ago, boys
and girls spent their whole school life
in studying Latin and Greek, the govern
mente now has a new diploma which is
delivered TO students who show them
selves to be proficient in English and
German. In the United States there has
been similar development, and there is
now course in French and German in all
the high schools; in some of the larger
cities this study is even begun in the
grammar schools.
The study of French was first taken up
in washington in the fall of 1884, but
was discontinued in 1887 on account of
curtailed appropriations; it, however, was
resumed in 1898
In our schools the inductive method is
used, leading the student step by step,
from the known to the unknown French.

years are sufficient. The academic or
scientific course may be taken either at
the Central, Western, or Eastern Schools,
but the business course is confined to the
Business High School.
For convenience of classification three
leading courses of study are outlined but
no one Of these is in every part compulsory.
Subject TO the requirements of the hour
plan OF Tecitations, pupil may determine
his own course OF study. The teachers en-
deavoT To conform their work TO the
abilities of the individual pupils and their
constant aim is To develop in each one
love of study and an interest in the school
work
The increase in the demand for a High
School education is best shown by the
following figures: In 1SS2-S3, when the
boys and girls OF the high schools were
brought into one school, the total number
OF pupils was $50. The membership for
the current school year is 2,250; and iii
the same period the number OF teachers
has grown from thirteen to eighty.
In addition to the great advantages
which the pupil enjoys in the usual course
of study, a series OF lectures are given,
to the number OF five or six each year in
each school. The lecturers are scientists,
travellers, business men and leading edU-
Gators. These lectures are looked upon
as most valuable aids 10 the earnest stu
dent, and the system was instituted be-
cause IL was believed by Dr. Lane that
education should be broader than a school
curriculum, and that pupils or the High
School age should be put in touch with the
bigger interests of men and women. These
lectures do something towards accom-
plishing such result.

tales from ancient authors. In the second
year we read Xenoph@n, one book of the
Anabasis and three of the Katabasis,
and now begin the practice of writing
Greek. You are not 70 suppose that we
do not write Greek cath year, for we do,
but we now take up the subject in q sys-

As the colleges in general, and Harvard
in particular, state as one of their first
requirements for admission the ability to
understand as well as write Attic Greek

the years work is deYoted to reading at
sight selections from our author Keno

putting together its several parts, and,
withal, elegant in the expression of it

VII, and VIII. OF HprodotuS "Historiae

implies not only that BE was the Father

otus we undertake extracts from Platos
Apology and Phaedd'f and from Keno
phon's Memorabilia and Hellenica." In
this year we complete. the subject of
composition begun in the second year.
Each year the scheel prepares from six
to ten young ladies and young gentlemen
for college. Last year we sent one to Ann
Arbor, Mich. two ITO Johns Hopkins
Baltimore, two TO Columbian University,
u. G., one to Harvard, Mass, and one to

main facts OF the subject, following TINS
with supplementary study aud recitation
from the textbook.
In the first year, beginning with simple
tests, the preparation Of oxygen, hydrogen,
etc, he follows a connected series OF ex-
periments, until by the end Of the year he
has gained from his own observation an
acquaintance with the common gases, and
the other nou-metals, such as sulphur and
phosphorus together with the chemical
behavior OF eight or ten OF the less rare
metals. In the second year, the laboratory
periods are occupied wit hblowpipe tests,
qualitative tests and analyses the pupil
being led as far as possible tOdeyisehis own
methods Of separation The fifth hour
per week is usually devoted to organic
chemistry, the study OF the best know u and
most important compounds being especially
emphasized.
Until the year 1892. through lack OF
time, no regular course in quantltatIye
analysis could be given, although some
OF the best and brightest students were
occasionally allowed to make beginning
in this line OF work. In that year, how
ever. the extension OF the High School
course to four years permitted cor
responding advance in chemistry, so that
the simpler quantitatiye analyses, both
gravimetric and volumetric, are now per
years course.
The entire work, both in laboratory
and classroom. is made as practical as can
consistently be done. Eyl-y-day chemical
phenomena are pointed AIT the study of
the commonly met compounds is empha-
sized, while the preparation OF such I'M
portant chemical products as sulphuric
acid, soda, iron and steel, is examined in
considerable detail. This feature of the
work is carried further than is usual in the
non-technical schools, but the increased
interest OF the pupil in the objects about
him, and- tie spirit Of inquiry and iREesti-
CATION q awakened. have been eur sGf-
ficient excuse.
The chief aim Of scicnce-tea ching, how
ever, should be scientific training, not the
requirement OF a certain number Of more
or less interesting facts The design Of
the course is to improve the students

The development of q spirit Of systematic
investigation and comparison is constantly
held in view, while, that the pupil may
advance with confidence belief in the
results of his own work is impressed upon
him. To the requirement OF such traits
