Then she entered the famous Boston institution for the two-year course.

appreciate the need of expression as a means of acquiring repose, grace and the proper use of the voice. Think of how many people you meet who are af- flicted with raucous or poorly modu- lated voices, who enunciate hadly, though they may have had the best of school training. No one has original ly rasping vocal organ; it becomes so through improper training, and for a boy or girl to begin life hampered in this way is, in my opinion, inexcusable. It can so easly be remedied. Now that women are taking more active part in public affairs, raising their voices in club meetings and theatres, asking for the vote and fitting themselves to exercise it, they are beginning to feel the need of this sort of training. I ex- pect a great part of my teaching to be done among women who wish to learn how to talk to an audience. To be heard and yet to retain a pleasant vocal tone, to appear easy and unaffected before a large audience is the aim of many a

Cifn School Notes


The present organization Of an eight
year elementary school. followed by a
four-ear high school is purely tradi
tional No valid pedagogical reason for
such division can be given. School
authorities are recognizing this fact ana
are ad ,Dtiny ths fs;x AMI six" plan.
which is more logical and yields vastly
better results. By this plan, the first
six grades are CROPPED together aad
called the elementary school, and the
last six years constitute the high school.
The first three years of the high school
consists of the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades and is designated as the
junior high school. The tenth, eleventh
aud twelfth grades constitute the SEN
Tor high school The first differentia-
ton of content and method occur at
the end of the sixth year and another
at the end of the ninth year. This plan
Of division corresponds to the natural
periods of growth and the transition
periods OF the child. Children twelve
and thirteen years of age are at the be-
ginning of the transition period between
childhood and youth. Their enlarging
interests and rapidly changing physical
and mental constitutions demand
change in the content and method OF
instruction. At present most pupils
mark time in the seventh and eighth
grades, lose interest and drop out OF
school. This is found to be the most
profitable age at which to begin the
study Of the languages, elementary
science and the manual alta. This is
the psychological period for the begin
ming of these branches. Algebra should
be introduc I'd in the eighth grade and
arithmetic reviewed in the senior high
sch DOL. Grammar, which seventh and
eighth grade boys hate, few OF the girls
understand and neither boys nor girls
apply, should be postponed until the
age when logical reasoning is reached.
! A thorough course In English, with EN-
phasis upon composition and spelling,
should takeS the place of formal gram
mar in the seventh AID eighth grades.
The six year high school facilitates de-
partmental teaching and secures better
results in the class room. It vitaiizes
| the work OF the so-called grammar
grades and strengthens what has hith-
erto been the weakest spot in our school
system. 1t also obliterates the division
or quitting off, place at the end Of
the eighth year, with its suggestion Of
a completed course and job. the in
terest of the boys and girls is held and
they see no good stopping place short
of the end of the senior high school
year. 9. a. S.
