"CHRIST is ALL, AND IN ALL
g575g5g5g

Grade covers special study Of birds, includ-
ing those which are insect eating and which
consequently are protection to crops.
This includes nature work for spring
months, the children observing the natural
habits of birds. The language work deals
with bird history and original composition on
birds, thus correlating the two.
In the Sixth Grade, the study and analysis
of flowers is taken up. The pupils learn the
names of and become familiar with those
which should be exterminated; also those
which are ornamental or decorative. Origi-
nal composition work on flowers is followed
out.
In the Seventh and Eighth Grades, tech
nical grammar is taken up in connection with
composition work on practical topics. Poems
and gems from leading authors are committed
to memory.
Booklets on birds and flowers are prepared
by the pupils, the flowers being gathered in
rambles through the parks and meadows of
Zion City and pressed on to the pages
The booklets also contain illustrated poems
and original compositions, naming practically
all the flowers the pupils have learned during
the school term.

READING

In the Fifth Grade work, the basil reader is
used with supplementary reading and poetry
The Sixth Grade is simply an advanced phase
of the Fifth.
In the Seventh Grade, the pupils take up
the different kinds of meter, with Whittier's
"Snow Bound as basis. This beautiful

dren playing on the grounds There were
neat free-hand A,B,C books; spelling book
let's; snowf1akes, cut free-hand, and Easter
notices, Christ Is Risen" in purple and
white
A very pretty border, extending across the
wall of one of the two First Grade rooms,
represented children playing by the seaside.
Some of the figures were drawn and colored
by the pupils; others were cut-outs of boys
with spades and pals and girls trying to
catch seagulls.

ARITHMETIC

Fifth Grade work in this branch was illus
trated by original problems in fractions; the
Sixth Grade by independent sales slips and
papers showing the keeping of cash accounts.
In the Seventh Grade, arithmetic was ap-
piled in practical way to farming and
gardening expenditures. For instance, the
cost of maintaining horse and carriage was
contrasted with the maintenance Of an auto.
It was interesting to note the array of figures
used to prove that a car, for farmer or bust
ness man, is cheaper and more advantageous,
considering the vast saving in time.
The exhibit in the Eighth Grade was illus
trated bv practical measurements and prob
lens, such as mea surfing the height of tree,
fire escape or building by it's shadow; also by
Graf work, presenting estimates showing that
the average price of beef cattle on the Chicago
market has risen from about Az per cent to
about IL per cent since the beginning of the
war

ton was brilliantly colored American flag
made of evenly cut paper rings neatly pasted
and interviewer.
Passing around the room, one found the
walls decorated with all kinds of neat designs
made by the Undergraduates; also cunning
contrivances intended by the teachers to in
terest their childish minds and sharpen their
perception
There was bead stringing, showing the
colors of the rainbow, and there were small
cubes, cylinders and balls by the aid of which
they learned to count and perform simple
sums in addition and subtraction. Squares,
rectangles, circles and semi-circles of colored
paper were used to form original architecture
al outlines. Sewing cards taught the differ
ent geometrical shapes and designs.
There was surprise cutting, in which the
paper is folded and cut along the folded edges;
then unfolded and pasted on squares of paper
of a contrasting color; and it invariably hap
pens that no two designs turn out alike. This
is an endless source of interest and amuse-
ment to the little folks.
One found cuttings of Little Boy Blue,
Tommy and His Turkey and Little Bo Peep.
These were made by photograph machine
which traces the designs, after which the
children cut them out and crayon them.
One discovered, also, childish drawings
from objects: for instance, a vase of tulips or
geraniums is placed before the child and the
flowers in the picture are colored according
to the original colors. Some of these showed
surprisingly neat work.
There were illustrated stories, in one of
which the children drew pictures of a boy
going fishing. Each used his imagination
freely in expressing his conception of the
thought One little chap pictured boy lying
lazily under a shade tree while his companion
fished.
It would be impossible to review all of the
many evidences of childish industry-the
free-hand cutting, the parquetry designs, etc.
presented in this department. Suffice it to
say that they were all extremely interesting.
Next in Importance to the piano, in the
kindergarten room, is the photograph. The
children are taught, whenever the signal is
given and a selection is played on the piano
or monograph to lay aside all work, fold
their hands in front of them and remain per-
fectly quiet until it is finished, thus affording
them an early lesson in courtesy which many
an older person might well initiate.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-06-29

This is shown in his composition work.
For instance, instead of adhering to the con-
vential forms, he may write an illustrated
story of a boy on his way to school. One very
good representation of this form of compost
ton pictured the boy lifting his hat to lady
and saying, "Peace to Thee, while in the
street nearby was an automobile. In this
manner, the pupil begins to apply his edu-
cation, in a practical way, to the things
around him.
Some excellent maps of the various states,
of the thirteen original colonies, and of the
North American Continent were exhibited.
The course for this grade includes, not only
Bible study, but arithmetic, language, ge..
ography, history, and in fact the beginning OF
all the regular branches.
THE FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH AND
EIGHTH GRADES
In the four highest grades, instead of
teacher being confined to one grade, as in
the Primary work, each teacher gives instruc-
ton in one certain branch through all the
grades. For instance, one teacher specializes
on geography, another, history, another,
grammar, another, reading or another, arith-
metic, giving portion of her time to each
of the four grades
In this way, work of high order is accom-
plished because the instructor explores every
known avenue of research to add to her fund
of knowledge in her particular line. She
concentrates on that one subject, and becomes
specialist, so to speak.
LANGUAGE, GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION
Under this heading, the work in the Fifth
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-06-29
THE FIRST GRADE

This is the beginning of Grade work in the
Junior Department.
The alphabet is taught; but not in the old
fashioned way. The child is drilled through
object lessons and blackboard work, and in
this way his interest is held, while he uncon-
sciously learns the alphabet.
In speaking of the methods persued, one
of the First Grade teachers gave the following
outline:
"The Primary teacher receives the six year
old child fresh from the home or the Kinder
garten. He is eager and enthusiastic, and
comes with a wealth of experiences of sight,
sound and touch. He has also vigorous COM
mand of language, and is now ready for the
formal work of reading. But, the art of
reading should never be classed with mere
REPETITION of aOOrds. Reading is the express
sion of ideas. We must keep in mind the fact
that there are two sides in the mastery of
reading-the thought side and the technical.
"The teacher uses the blackboard and chart
great deal, and the reading lessons are de-
veoped from actual experiences in the child's
life and using the background of nature study,
literature, history, plays and games, hand
work, music, etc., to enrich his experiences
and ideas.
I'VE must not make reading formal or
mechanical exercise, but at the same time we
must give the child the necessary tools with
which he may overcome the difficulties of
mastering the printed and written page-for
it is indeed difficult to master the first steps
in reading. AS one writer has said, Take
for example, such a word as blackboard. It
consists of eight sounds and ten letters The
pupil must learn not only to recognize the
word in print and script and to know what it
recalls but must know it as made up of these
elements of sound and these letters. In Eng
llsh this difficulty is still further increased by
the fact that the language is imperfectly
phonetic and there are the silent letters
1.-The child is able to overcome these diff
culties by means of the tool which is called
phonics. The lesson in phonics, or the science
OF sounds, is always carried on at a separate
time from the actual reading period. By and
by the child is able to put his knowledge of
phonics to use and is soon able to master diff
cult words very easily and we usually read
five or six books throughout our school year."
The first lesson in writing begins with full
arm movement and large form, continuing all
through the year and improving with prac-
tice.
In this grade one sees much neat free-hand
cutting. If unfamiliar with present-day
educational methods one might ask, What is
the object of encouraging children to spend
hours in cutting out pictures? The answer
is this 1t develops the eyes, training them in
careful observation; it trains the hand and
brain in exactness; it forms the beginning of
design work-planning, laying out and de-
veloping original construction
In the exhibit were American flags which
the little folks had made of tissue paper cut
in colors.
There was a beautiful picture of Zion Col
lege Building, with cut-out pictures Of chill

SPECIAL NOTICE
ALL WELCOME
FREE-WILL OFFERINGS ONLY RECEIVED

Asked to illustrate story of preparing for
winter the children had presented some origl-
nal IDEAS One boy Immediately thought of
pumpkins, another of gathering nuts, while
others pictured great loads of coal.
Of special note were drawings of birds
nests, bees and flowers, which were veritable
works of art.
There were also some fine free-hand cut
tings showing boys in action flying kites, and
lines Of clothes blowing in the wind; also
original colored designs of fields, flowers,
boats, etc. One very interesting feature was
the calendars, showing the calendar months
of the school period, each decorated with pic
lures suitable to the season.
THE THIRD GRADE
The work in this grade, for the most part,
is but continuation of the Second.
With the Bible work, the pupils have memo
rizing of scriptural passages and Bible stor-
les. They also have little booklets telling
what they have learned, thus correlating Bible
study and language.
The language work embraces not only capt.
talization and punctuation but some work on
the paragraph including proper indentation.
The work in arithmetic comprises multi
plication tables and all combinations of tables.
THE FOURTH GRADE
This is the last of the Primary Grades. 1t
is at this point that the student-from nine
to eleven years of age-begins to do indie
pendent work.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-06-29
THE SECOND GRADE

We here found large, striking represen-
tation, cut free-hand, of Noah and the Ark,
with the animals going in, two by two. The
arrangement was artistic as we'll as amusing.
The long procession of bears, lions, foxes, ele-
phants giraffes, etc., was headed by pair Of
frisking squirrels, and two turtles, equal in
size to the lions, were followed by stately os-
triches. Swans and other long-necked birds
poked their inquisitive heads from the win
dOws
There were illustrated stories, such as
Moses in the ark of bulrushes, Daniel in the
lions den, the three Hebrew children in the
fiery furnace, and so on. Each child's con-
ception of the story, as shown in the picture,
was unique and original One pictured the
king sitting on chair by the lions den.
anxiously waiting to see what became of
Daniel; another represented Daniel as in an
enclosure with the lions, surrounded by a
wire fence; another, with Daniel stretching
out his hands in prayer while the lions lay
harmlessly by. All, in one way or another,
had grasped the fundamental idea.

HISTORY

In the Sixth Grade, the teacher requires
the pupil to present in story form the lives
of men who have helped to mold American
history; but in the Seventh and Eighth
Grades, the work deals primarily with general
historical events, supplemented with biogra-
ply Special work is taken IN on imnortant
