and sing easily and naturally for their
friends and to accompany one another in
the rendering of vocal and violin solos.

PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.

The Preparatory Department comprises
the usual Primary and Grammar School
Trades. 1t has special teachers, its own
schoOlrooms and schedule, and the pupils
are quite apart from the Academic De
paHment, both during school hours and
during their free time. The aim OF the
york here IS 10 furnish a thorough
grounding in elementary subjects as a
PREPARATION for academic work. To &C
fompllsh this result, effort is made to de-

DANCING AND DEPORTMENT.

Lessons in dancing and department are
given during the winter and spring term
by Miss E. Bury Palliser, daughter of the
noted English teacher, Nine. Bizet-
Michau. In addition to the training given

the stately movements of the old fash
ioned minuet Miss Palliser is unusually
successful in the results she obtains and
the interest she inspires in her pupils.

HISTORY.

The school owes its origin to the two
schools owned by the Community of
SAINT Mary, Saint Mary's School, New
York, founded 1867, and Saint Gabriels
School, Peekskill, founded 1872. 1t has
traditions, therefore. reaching back for
iorty years, and, with its new building
and modern equipment, will bear compari-
sun with the best schools in the country.

primary instruction as soon as they are
old enough to enter school They have
their class singing, dancing lessons, phys

out of doors in their free time, and many
of them spend most of their holidays at
the school, which, with its beautiful sur
roundings, can and does become a second

and of their clothing is given detailed and
skilled attention Remarkable results are
