LEWIS ACADEMY.

The curriculum of the academy extends
down to the primary department-the kim
dergarten. This department is not only
first in name and first in order OF time,
but it is first in importance. Since each
life IS development from the mold
shaped by the influences OF early years,
so in no depart ment Of education is the
influence so effective and far-reaching
as that disseminated from the kindergar-
ten. Miss Halsey, who has charge of this
department in the academy, has been
long and well known as a successful
Kindergarten teacher. Under her care
the child is surrounded by an atmosphere
in which his own normal individuality Is
protected from every baleful influence.
He noticeahly develops in his spiritual
and moral nsA.es. He IS strengthened
in integrity anu unselfishness.
During the three hours from 9 70 u
which comprise the school day IN this de-
partment, the children are kept buSily
employed with various occupations which
are both delightful and profitable.
A certain amount Of regularity IS main
tanned in the daily program but y is the
distinctive feature OF kindergarten train
ing that routine must be secondary to
the free expression and development Of
the child. Owing TO Miss Halsey's thor
ough understanding Of child nature every
idea IS presented in such delightful
manner that the children are instructed
and entertained az the same time.
The first few minutes after ARRIVAL are
usually occupied by conversation between
teacher and pupils or what has transpir-
ed since the previous morning The chill

most pleasant and commendable.
