the children visit aud describe. Keeping
in mind this broad vie wi Of the fllli scope
Of our language teachiuR let US now treat
of the detailed work OF the grades from
the fourth to the eighth inclusive.
FOURTH GRADE.
In this year the observation work In
animal aud plant life of the lower grades
is revie wed, as is alsu the experimental
vapor work. Further original iuyestiga-
tion is encouraged, but'a gradual transit
tion is made from the reading of matter
expressing what the child has learned
through original channels of Information
to that which is read for the purpose or
acquiring ad di tiuual information. A
foundation is also laid for the rational
study of geography in the folio wing year.
This comprehensive plan naturally leadsto
the production of a vast amount OF written
work, compositions, long and short, original
and reproductions. In plant lessons from
ten TO twenty flowers and nearly as many
fruits are examined, drawn, described ana
compared; in animal life a similar course
ispuTsued inthestudy ofmammals and birds.
WTittencomparisons between animals OF the
same family and between those Of different
families are frequently, made. Likenesses
and differences in structure, habits ana
instinct are emphasized and conclusions
drawn therefrom. Many narratiom per-
tanning 30 these and kindred subjects are
prepared from outlines, from questions
and in other ways.
Imaginary stories are written in which
the order followed is, first, observation;
second, thought; third, imagination; and
fourth, narration. Many interesting stories
about flowers, birds, insects and animals
from standard authors are read, reproduced
by the children and illustrated by means of
wonderfully accurate drawings. Snort,
appropriate poems are occasionally memoir
iZed. Elementary lessons i'll physical seog-
raphy in Hike mannerare ma de conprehen-
sible and attractive to the pupils by employ
ing every iustifiable means to induce them
toobserve think and express their thoughts.
Fortunately in much of the subject
matter pertaining to the kinds and compo-
sition OF the soil, the agents in soil making,
hills and valleys, springs, rivers, and coast
lines, the Normal Fourth eader articulates,
as it We're, with the demands OF the course
of study. New ideas in geography are
taught by employing pictures that are true
to nature, collection of which may be
found in every schoolroom. Original let
ters of friendly nature are written with
the appropriate replies. Dctation is also
employed in this class OF work
Throughout all the written work of the
grade, proper capitalization, punctuation,
and the use OF the irregular verbs most
frequently employed are carefully taught.
FIFTH GRADE.
The writing of narratives and descrfp-
tions in continued, not only through the fifth
grade, but throughout the eight school
years. The subjects assigned gradually
increase in difficulty, being suggested often
by the pupils own personal experience,

the actual duties of life, thus helping to
solve the vexed problem which now con-
fronts every thoughtful American.
Our boys and girls would be fitted for
their vocations and the tide which presses
Oward' professional life as the only ave-
nue. of success would be turned toward
the mechanical arts.
1t is not my intention to discourage the
higher education of our youth, but believe
that greater good will result if the cur
riculufn be changed so that manual train
ing will be made prominent.
To the average boy and girl in our
schools the little Latin, Greek or German
will be as uUihing in contrast to thorough
English course supplemented by hands
educated by competent manual training
With our boys and girls the hands should
be trained as well as the heads.
Then, too, if we show the Importance
Of technical training. organize and equip
a first-class department, we shall do
much to give dignity to labor.
Hence my suggestion is TO establish
Kindergarten system and To enlarge the
manual training feature already connected
with our schools. F. j. SHApD, MD.

DR.. Shadd'S Views.

The schools Of our city are progress
Ing every year. The trend of public
opinion points TO greater facilities for
technical education SO that the youth will
be prepared for the active duties Of life
Kindergarten and manual training are
the great demands Of the age.
This is So important matter that plans
should be perfected at once so that our
schools win be able TO give fun instruc-
tiOn iu these branches. Some two years
lgo, the attention Of the board OF trustees
was called To this subject and since then
we have been working toward that end.
While our high schools are doing
admirable work. ] nevertheless believe
bhat a radical change would be Of vital
Importance, especially to the colored youth
OF our city
would suggest that more time be
given 10 the study of English during the
four yeats in the high school and
that manual training be carried To the
highest degree Of perfection, so that we
may be able to send forth from our schools

Every language is temple, In which the
soul of those who speak it is enshrined."
-OiUer Wendell Holmes.
TT far as our Washington schools are
\ concerned, the study of language
IN may be said to begin on the very
first day of school in the lowest
grade. The, teacher endeavors to secure
at once the confidence of the child, and,
having accomplished this, to lead him to
tell, as soon as all evidences of timidity
have vanished, what objects he can see
before and about him in the schoolroom.
He thus is induced TO talk, TO give feeble
expression, perhaps, 10 a thought. Ills
first language lesson has really begun.
His restless observation, instead OF being
ignored and checked, is administered to
and cultivated in every way.
Oral speech is employed by the child in
giving uttefance to his thought This
thought begets, as it were, another under
the stimulating influence Of leaf,
flower, or some other object of nature.
This object is examined, is compared with
another, is put first in o ne place and then in
another. Talking lessons are under way;
actual training has commenced: spon-
taneous education ofgreat and lasting value
is in store for that child, continuing from
his early years in the primary grades until
he is ready at the beginning of his fourth
year to study in detail many of the phe-
nomena which have previously beenbrought
10 his attention in the schoolroom, the home,
and the fields, and TO derive in part, at
least, but happily not altogether, some of
his knowledge through the medium OF
the thoughts of Others. He begins to seek
for new sources OF information in the
world of books, rightly interpreting the
ideas found therein by his antecedent
knowledge of the real things themselves,
and giving expression TO these ideas in
proportion TO his own early acquired en-
thusiasm and habit OF attention. In the
second and third grade simple yet fluent
writing grows unConsciously under the
teachers care and guidance from much
