The Model and Practice School.

The Model and Practice School Of
William and Mary is now well un-
der way for the work Of the session.
with an attendance Of over 10.
This IS not quite as large as at the
same time last year. but il will in-
crease.
Few Of the patrons Of the Model
school are thoroughly familiar with
the actual work that splendid school
IS doing. except as demonstrated by
the mental growth and development
Of the child. To understand what
IS being done and how il is done a
visit 70 the school IS necessary.
The school maintains a miniature
farm. with its garden. its flowers and
is orchard. The actual work IS all
done BY the pupils. from the prep
aration OF the soil 70 the harvesting
OF the crop. Here is the flower
garden. there the orchard and be
yoad the wheat field and the
meadow. Soon the little farm house
will be built and the pupils Will be
taught how 10 conduct il. The
crops will be gathered as they n
pen and sold and the proceeds will
DC used to purchase a memorial
window to little Matthew Whaley. af-
ter whom the school is named.
But the object and uses Of the
farm and garden do not end with the
harvest Il is here the little minds
learn OF mother nature. Nature
study in the classroom is illustrated
and its lessons amplihed by what is
seen in the garden. By actual work
and contact with nature lies the sue
cess OF the work done in this school.
That the method of instruction is
