shown. Work of the manual science,
art, domestic science and other depart

training carried on through the able
corps of teachers.
The first grade work under Miss Min
ME VOORHEES, has been most painstak
ing. Miss VOORHEES, has been connect
ed with this department for years, and
love for the little tots and careful tute-
lege has drawn from them work that
has well repaid her. This most impor-
tant Of all school work. the RESPONSE
BILE foundation of all future achieve
ment which consists of the grammar
school and kindergarten combined,
with an eye to the different child in
diyiduaIities, has been given with such
attention by Miss VOORHEES, that her
many patrons cannot fail toappreciate.
Here proud little fingers have learned
to be neat and accurate The practical
use Of form and color is taught through
the making Of picture figures and sew
ing in bright colors.
Ia the second and third grades under
Miss Mabel Littleton and Miss Mamie
Hamilton, respectively, this knowl-
edge OF form and color was most inter-
estingIy traced through the class ex-
hibits Of geography, figures and writ
ing.
In the fourth grade under Miss e.
Spencer and the fifth under Miss Leila
Reeves the advanced work in geogra-
ply was most noticeable. In the fourth |
department, the change from pencil
writing to pen, under the direction Of
". B. Reynolds, Of the business college,
good work was evident. OF the drawing
Of maps from memory under Miss Rosa

work of Miss Zula Parkman was espe-
ciaIly excellent. This students perfect
in prints Of theseven most
important maps Of the world exempted
her from the rigid examination in geog-
raphy for this grade. The Civil War
territory map OF Miss Allie Mr. Baynes,
Of the same class, was also remarkable
for its excellence. Every battlefield,
every village and locality, every engage
ment in connection with the war, was
reproduced on this drawing with an
accuracy which testified to Miss Baynes
ofUnited States History as
well as geography.
