Extract from the records of the Board of Trustees for February 18, 1895 : "To, thc already long list of departed worthies who have been con- nected with the Board of Trustees of the Adelphi Academy, must now be added the name of Mr. Edwin Beers, one ofthe original members of the Board and its Treasurer for two years. At tl1e'Board meetings he was habitually a regular and punctual attendant, bringing there the- same business capacity, the same circunispection, the same fairness which characterized him as a successful merchant. We shall nmiss his quiet Ways as much as We shall miss his Wise counsels. As individuals we all have felt the infiuence of his unobtrusive goodness and of his devotion to duty. To his family we extend our heartiest sympathy in their severe affliction, and beg to assure them that the memory of his example will always go with us as an incentive to a higher measure of faithfulness to the trust committed to us, in which he has shared for more than a quarter of a century.

Origin and Development.-The Adelphi Academy sprang from the school which was started by Mr. John Lockwood, in Septem- ber, 1863, at 336 Adelphi Street. In 1867 the present site of the Acad- emy was purchased, and the corner stone of the first building on Lafayette Avenue was laid by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, July 23, 1867. This building was formally opened for use on the fourth day of the following February. The numbers in attendance had in- creased more than forty-fold in live years. In December, 1869, the school was incorporated as H The Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn." The gentlemen who procured the charter and constituted the first board of trustees were William S. Woodward, Buckley T. Benton, Alfred S. Barnes, Alfred C. Barnes, William H. Wallace, Charles H. Noyes, Charles E. Evans, Henry W. Slocum, Samuel M. Mills, Thomas Vernon, Dr. Joseph C. Hutchison, Charles Hill, Enos N. Taft, Rev. Dr. William Ives Budington, john Davol, Charles Pratt, Samuel Crowell, Peter M. Dingee, Dr. Joseph B. Elliot, Samuel Wright, Truman I. Ellinwood. Q Many friends ofthe Academy came to its assistance, and in 1873 the Trustees built the western wing of the Academic Building. In 1880 the eastern wing was added by the generosity of Messrs' Charles Pratt and Hayden W. Wheeler, members of the Board of Trustees. Six years 'later the continued interest and liberality of Mr. Charles Pratt enabled the Trustees to erect the new structure on Clifton Place and St. james Place. It was ready for use in Septem- ber, 1888, and was named in honor of its principal donor, the Pratt Collegiate Building. While the Academy has owed, and does owe, so large an obligation to individuals, it is emphatically the creation and the property of the conxmunityin which it is. The list of its benefactors is long and widely representative. It has become a potent moral and educational in fluence in the lives of thousands of students 16 A1DI5I.P'HI AC7AlDEA13'. from multitudes of Brooklyn homes. It has become a successful ex- ponent of that moral safeguard and character-forming force, co-edu- cation. Like all schools worthy of the name, the Adelphi com- mands, for the development ofits pupils, opportunities which far out- strip its financial powers. As with all live institutions, the more good it does, the more it sees that it desires to do. Its new buildings, itsgenerous equipment, and the disastrous fire of a few years ago, have imposed upon the Academy the burden of a debt which its friends should transform into the encouragement of an endowment.

Departments of the Academy.-The Adelphi Academy pro- vides the means for a thorough and systematic education from the very beginning of school life to the time when the student is either equipped for the active work of tl1e larger world outside of school walls, or is ready, to enter upon the special training of university studies. The Academy intends, therefore, to present a complete school system in one group of buildings. There are live divisions of the Academy: The Kindergarten, the Academic Department, the Collegiate Department, the Art Depart- ment and the Department of Physical Culture The Kindergarten Course may extend through three years. It forms an admirable preparation for the work of the primary grades. Atraining- class for teachers, strictlylimited in numbers, is maintained in connection with the Kindergarten? Into the Kindergarten itself children who are at least four years old may be admitted. They have at For further information concerning this training class and its course of study, see beyond, p. 47. 1 1 ,Q 4 ., -1,5 ,,i':.,.-Q-...,.-4f-ff--x-'Mf "" Q W H , V ,Ng fi- Q Q ff N ' 5 ' 0 " ""' .

They are kept quite separate from the main body of students. A visit to the Kindergarten will prove its best recommendation. There are skilful and approved teachers, a large number of assistants and an ample supply of every needful equipment. The hours of session are from 9 A. M. to I2 M. Parents of the pupils are at all times welcome to the Kindergarten rooms. Other visitors are requested to apply for admission in the Bursar's otlice. The vacations are the same as in other departments of the Academy. ' The Academic Department comprises eight classes, or grades, each one year in duration, and also one intermediate class between the Kindergarten and the first primary grade. Pupils may be admit- ted to this department who have attained the age of six years or over. The studies of the eighth, or last, year involve what is usually called f- the High-School grade " of work in all branches. Rooms and hours of the school session in this department are so arranged that pupils of the four primary grades do not come in contact with other classes. The Collegiate Department includes four years of study, but the student may select any one of three courses in the department, viz., the Classical Course, the Collegiate Course and the Scientiic Course. Elective studies may be chosen in any of these courses, subject to the approval of the Faculty. The Classical Course affords a thorough preparation for any American university, and graduates from this course who have had the benefit of the whole Adelphi curriculum will be able to take ad- vanced standing. The Collegiate Course offers a comprehensive and thorough training in Languages, Literature, History and Politics, Philosophy and the Fine Arts, and Natural Science. The Scientiic Course prepares for a business career or for admis- sion to any scientific or technical college. Graduates from this course will have an assured practical knowledge of Physics, Chem- istry, Mathematics and its applications in Mechanics and Surveying, while the studies of History and Languages, including the mother- tongue, receive due attention. 20 KLDELIJIJI ACADEAIX'. The diploma of the Academy is given to every student who com- pletes any one of these prescribed courses. If any-regular student in the Collegiate Department goes from the Academy to a college or uni- versity, the diploma of the Academy may be granted to him or her in due course upon evidence that an equivalent of the remaining work in the Adelphi curriculum has been satisfactorily performed in the class-rooms of such a college or university. In the Art Department students may follow any special lines of art work, under most advantageous conditions of light and space. The Department of Physical Culture offers facilities for outdoor and indoor exercise of all kinds and grades. From the beginning of the Adelphi Academy this Department has performed an import- ant and prominent work in it, The curriculum of this Department is coterminous in years with that of the Academy, and special stu- dents are enabled to pursue special lines of exercise under competent direction. III. Admission of Students.-Applications for admission should be made on june I2, 1895, or on September 18, 19 and zo, 1895, at the Academy. Admission at any time is granted to those who can show evidence of ability to take up t e vvork of any class. Newly admitted students are not finally graded by the results of examinations, but by the evidence of their daily Work in class during the weeks immediately following their admission. Every student in the Academy is assigned to a teacher, who exercises careful and constant supervision. Stu- dents from other schools who have not had all the studies offered in the earlier years of the Adelphi, may be admitted under special con- -ditions, enabling them to make up the omitted work. Pupils from any other schools applying for admission to the Adelphi Academy should, if possible, present records of rank and latest promotion in the schools which they have been attending. Persons who wish to enter the Academy for the purpose of study- ing special subjects must give satisfactory evidence of ability to pursue such studies, and must conform to all rules of order prescribed for those in the regular courses. The privilege of pursuing special subjects will be withdrawn from all who fail to comply with such regulations. ADELPIiI A CADENI XT. 21 IV. System of Supervision.-Every student in the Academy is directly responsible to some member of the teaching force, who exer- cises control, subject to the sanction of the Faculty, over the daily work of the students assigned to him or her. In the Collegiate De- partment such officers are called H class advisers." The system of Faculty organization enables the Principal to meet every teacher in the Academy every week. In this manner it is intended to secure prompt and accurate knowledge of the scholarship and deportment of every scholar. Parents are requested to cooperate in this work of supervision by communicating freely with the class officers or Princi- pal, and especially concerning the nature and extent of the pupil's study at home. V. Attendance and Discipline.-In order to form systematic business-like habits and to make the most of the time devoted to education, pupils are required to be regular and punctual in attend- ance and in all school duties. A teacher cannot be responsible for the backwardness of those students who allow trifling causes to inter- fere with their attendance. It is also particularly desirable that the pupil should not lose time during the first few weeks of the school year and at its end. A fortnight more of vacation in Autumn or Spring cannot often be worth the risk of falling behind in studies. Pupils who have been absent or tardy are expected to state the reason therefor promptly to the teacher in charge of the room. If no reason for absence or tardiness is known to the teacher, or the reason given seems insufficient, notice of such absence or tardiness is imme- diately sent home. lfVritten excuses signed by the parent are not necessary unless specially requested. It is only desired that parents should know the testimony of the roll books and should cooperate with the teachers in correcting any possible carelessness or delinquency. Students who persist in wrong conduct, or who fail in diligence, will be carefully and kindly warned of the consequences of wrong-doing or of indolence. Parents will also be notified of such deficiencies by the periodical reports or by special inforniation. Students who are disobedient or wilfully inattentive after warnings will be removed from the Academy. It is hoped that parents will become acquainted with the teachers 22 ADELPHI DEDJY. who have charge of their children. At the close of each daily ses- sion there is opportunity for conference between parents and teachers, but such interviews should not occur during the school session. Time is allowed in every class for some study in school hours. Teachers will remain after the close of a day's session for the purpose of aiding thosevwho deserve and need help. Members of the Collegiate Depart- ment and of the upper grades of the Academic Department are ex- pected to study at home daily from one to three hours, according to age and capacity. Every student who is able to pursue a regular course of study is expected to do so. VI- ReC0l'dS of Rank.-In the Academic Department of the Academy carefully prepared reports are made monthly to the parents, showing the scholarship, punctuality and conduct of each pupil, Parents are requested to examine these reports regularly, sign them promptly, and return them to the Academy. A summary of these reports is kept as a permanent record. In the Collegiate Department similar reports are prepared and sent home at any time if the Faculty orders it, or if the parent requests it. The teacher uses no marking-book in recitation and no numeri- cal marks are placed upon the reports. It is especially desired that students shall not study merely to get marks or to make a favor- able comparison of percentages. Letters instead of figures are therefore used on the reports, in the belief that they allow more room for a teacher's judgment, afford an equally satisfactory record, and operate less as an unhealthy stimulus. The reports of class-work which are presented to the Faculty weekly throughout thepyear are made the basis of the final record of scholarship in any subject. Formal examinations at the end of work upon any subject are given only to students who have been absent from the class for some portion of the time and to those who have been delinquent. In thus abolishing formal examinations for the mass of students, and in substituting therefor the evidence of daily work in the class-room, the Faculty of the Academy feels that it is promoting the right kind of scholarship, discouraging that pernicious form of study known as 'fcrammingf' and establishing a wise ADELPIJI A CADEDJY. 23 distinction between those who study faithfully from day to day and those who do not. At the same time it should be observed that the great frequency of written tests in the ordinary class routine will in the end afford the student all the necessary experience in the work of expressing knowledge upon paper. Finally, it may be emphasized that promo- tions from class to class in the Adelphi Academy are not the reward of a lucky examination, but may be certainly secured only by diligent and successful labor from one end to the other of the school year. A Students who fail to do satisfactory work may, at the direction of the Faculty, be required to discontinue a study at any time, to make up deficiencies after the close of the school year if possible, and to present themselves for "Condition Exaininationsn in june or Sep- tember. The promotion of each student from one year to another is determined by the Faculty of the department or grade to which the student belongs. VII. Honors, Scholarships and Prizes.-Students in the Colle- giate Department and in the Academic Department, pursuing a regular course of study, who have been present through an entire year, with a record of highly creditable work, and whose conduct has been satisfactory, will receive honorary certificates at the close of the year, The "Charles Pratt Scholarship," the 'fl-Iayden WV. Wheeler Scholarship," the HE. F. de Selding Scholarship," the HMV. S. Woodward Scholarship," and the '+I-Iarold Dollner Scholarship," are given annually to such fit persons as may be nominated by the President of tl1e Board, Hayden W. Wheeler, E. F. de Seldiug, Mrs. W. S. Woodward, and the Treasurer of the Board respectively. Candidates for said scholarships must have attained the age of fourteen years, or, if under fourteen years of age, niust prove, upon examination by the Principal, well qualihed to enter the Eighth Academic Grade of the Adelphi Academy, Scholarships will be renewed to those only who attain a high standard in their work. Scholars whose record has been and is entirely satisfactory, but 24. ADELPHI ACADED1 Y. who find themselves prevented by lack of means from continuing their education, are invited to consult with the Principal concerning the possibility of making such arrangements as will enable them to go on with their studies. So far as the resources of the Academy may permit, it is the intention to extend a helping hand to every worthy student who may need assistance. By gift from Charles Pratt, the income of 51,000 is applied annually to prizes for improvement in penmanship. These prizes are open to students on full course in all departments. The same benefactor also established a fund to encourage good reading and elocution. The income is applied to awards for those who have made the most improvement, and also to tl1e providing of new matter for supplementary reading. Vlll. Certificates for Admission to College.-Colleges and uni- versities which admit students upon certificate will accept the cer- tificates of the Adelphi Academy. Among the institutions with which the Academy is thus related are the following: Amherst College, Cornell University, Smith College, Vassar College, Wel- lesley College, VVesleyan University, Williams College and the W0111an's College of Baltimore.

The catalog of 1893-94 announced a new course of study for the Adelphi Academy, and invited attention to certain salient and inter- -esting features of the proposed curriculum. The new schedule has now endured the test of a year of trial, and it is possible to speak with .-some confidence of the results that have been obtained. Those who desire for their children the best advantages ofa ra' tional and liberal training are asked to observe these facts concerning the Adelphi : I. The study of the modern languages is begun in the primary grades, and every Adelphi pupil may obtain afair knowledge of French and German before entering the Collegiate Department, 2. The study of Latin is begun in the Sixth Academic Grade and 'the study of Greek, in the Eighth. 3. The important studies are continuous. Mathematics, English, and the sciences show an unbroken progression. History is almost equally honored. Moreover, German may be studied for eleven years, French for nine years, Latin for seven years, Greek for five years, Physics for live years, Chemistry for four and a half years, Biology .and related subjects also for four and a half years, Spanish for two years. 4. The correlation of studies is systematically arranged upon the basis of History and Geography, so that the student's attention is con- centrated upon one subject, while he is receiving instruction in His' 'C0ry, Geography, Science, and Language. 5. Geometry is studied from the beginning by laboratory meth- ods. It is made practical because it is introduced as a study of constructions. 6. To the former admirable laboratory facilities of the Academy, a new biological laboratory is now added, and it is in complete work- ing order. Biology is the science which deals with life, and is, there- fore, most closely connected with the study of life in history and liter- ature. It is also the science that is most intimately concerned with woman's work in the world. The extended study of Biology with laboratory equipment is the best possible preparation for the study of A1DELPHI A CADEDI Y. 27 medicine, and hence this course is recommended to the careful atten- tion of any one who thinks of entering subsequently into the ranks of the medical profession. b 7. The plan of the new curriculum has enabled the Academy to show to its classical students an impartialjustice. None of them may as heretofore, graduate earlier than their classmates in the other courses, and at the same time all of them who are successful and regu- lar students in any of the classes will become Adelphi graduates in 'due course. In this way the Adelphi will retain in its companionship and upon its roll of graduates many students who were formerly lost to the Alumni Association because they left the Academy at the close of some other year than the senior middle. The classical department has also profited much by the changes which placed the beginning of both Latin and Greek earlier in the course than formerly. There is now ample time for that careful, painstaking introduction to the elements of these languages which is the only sure passport to the later successful study of the language and literature. 8. When the Pratt Collegiate Building was erected, a room therein was destined for use as a manual training work room. Not until this year, however, has the right moment presented itself for the 'realization of that intention. Heretofore a wide gap has been left between the primary manual training in paper and clay, and the man- ual training of the scientific laboratories ofthe Collegiate Department. That gap has been filled by the establishment of a class in woodwork- ing and design, which has been thrown open to all members of the Academic Department above the third grade. Manual training of this sort at the Adelphi is not intended to provide anything more than a laboratory course for the Academic Department. It opens the door for the new study of geometry in that department 5 it affords a basis for the work in drawing g above all, it is only the natural and rightful continuation of that eye-and-handdiscipline which distin- guishes kindergarten and primary work. Scienceestudy, form-study and number-study have now a visible foundation in laboratory work and laboratory methods of study from -one end of the Adelphi curriculum to the other. 9. Attention is invited to the list of reading-books adopted for use in the academic grades. See pp. 61-65. CONSPECTUS OF STUDI ES.

The Songs and Gaines of the Kindergarten introduce the study of Natural Science, stimulating the imagination, developing a sympathy with nature, and suggesting the highest ideals in thought and action. The Gifts form the basis of Mathematical Science, illustrating the solid. surface, line and point. The pupil acquires from the Gifts a knowledge of geometric forms and of different combinations of number. The Occupations apply the principles that underlie the Gifts and cultivate a taste for the beautiful in form and color, training the eye and hand to work in unison with the mind, learning comes by doing. Color music is used, including also exercises in breathing. The Kindergarten training seeks to develop inventiveness, thoroughness, sympathy and generosity, power of concentration and power of language and reason. The right beginning is half the battle.

I, Department of English.: LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. 'The continuous English work in the Academy, from the First to the .Seventh Grade inclusive, carries the pupil through a large amount of reading in History, Literature, Geography, and Natural Science. It is expected that the scholar will study English, so far as possible, by the laboratory method, by reading, repeating, discussing. and if possible, f66lZ'7Zg' many of the masterpieces of the mother tongue. Above the Seventh Grade the English studies ot the Classical students are, necessarily, partly governed by the requirements for admission to college. In general, however, the plan for all Courses is substantially as follows : I. Eighth Grade. Selected Worlrs of XIX. Century authors, American and British, Irving, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittier, Lowell, Wa1'ner, Parkman, George Eliot, Scott, Kingsley, Tennyson. Composi- tions. Three hours a week. 2. Junior Year.

H, Department of Modern Languages. A, THE FRENCH LAN- GUAGE AND LITERATURE. The French instruction in the Fourth and Fifth grades is chiefly oral. Especial attention is given to the acquisition AIJELPHI ACADENIY. 33 of a correct pronunciation, and of a vocabulary for common use. There is some reading of easy French, as in Premieres Lectures des Enfants and Anecdotes Nouvelles. There is practice in writing French and in committing short passages to memory. The study of French in the Academy is not a mere matter of memorizing. From the beginning, it is treated as a valuable educational instrument, and it is used to awaken and quicken the pupil's reasoning powers, and to enforce the important lessons of other studies. I.

It is intended to provide sdfficient instruction in Spanish to enable the pupil to tall-2 and read the language. The plan of work will have especial reference to the probable use of Spanish in trade, and, as soon as possible, the class is set to reading current newspapers published in Spanish. This subject is optional for any Collegiate student, and the Course in Spanish extends through at least two years. C. THE GERMAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. Prior to the Sixth Grade, the Adelphi student may have instruction in German through four years, and he should become the master of a consid erable vocabulary. During the year 1895-96, on account of the necessary transition from the old to the new course of study, there will be no instruc- tion in German in the Fifth Grade. The instruction in German in the second and third primary 34 ADE.T.PHI AOADI5llfl1'. grades is begun with the use oflarge colored pictures, from which are taught the names ofthe persons and objects portrayed, with appropri- ate adjectives, verbs, and phrases of position. Gradually, a few simple songs are learned, poems committed to memory, and guessing games played. Later, simple stories are told, and reproduced by the children. Object lessons on simple plant and animal life are also given in German. H From the beginning, the vvords learned are made the basis of reading lessons, which are written on the board and read by the chil- dren at sight. As a result ofthe instruction in the primary grades during the past year, the children have acquired the ability to use about two hundred and fifty words in conversation and description, and to recognize one hundred and ifty Words more when used in stories told to them. In all over jhur hundred Words are recognized. The children are also able to read over three hundred and Hfty words in lessons written on the board. I.

IV, Department of History and Politics. Prior to the Sixth Grade, a large part of the required work in reading, and in the study -of English is based upon historical readers and historical stories suit- able for young students. Throughout the Sixth and Seventh Grades the History of the English Race is a required study, comprising the social and political history ofthe English race in all its homes. The work is conducted topically and by reference readings so far as pos- sible. In the Eighth Grade historical rcding and study are inter- woven, so far as possible, with the required workin English and other languages. I. Junior Year. Classical and Collegiate Courses.

ADELPIJI ACADEIXJ Y. 39 V, Department of Natural History. Prior to the Seventh Grade there is continuous instruction of a concrete nature in Botany and Zoology, as well as in the elements of general science. In such classes the student's powers of observation have been trained by the actual use of objects and of pictures, but after the Sixth Grade a more formal study of Biology begins, and leads as rapidly as possible to regular laboratory work. The object of the course in Biology is to reveal the broad characteristic phenomena and the laws of life, as they are illustrated by the thorough comparative study of a series of plants and animals taken as representative types. ' Every effort is used to make the student discover facts and their relations for himself, and to express them accurately by means of drawings, written notes and oral descriptions. A 1, Eighth Grade.

The doctrines of the correlation of forces and the conservation of energy are made the center of the system. The course aims to explain the phenomena of nature, to convey practical information concerning the numberless applications of this science to daily life as well as to discipline, and to train the mind in the exact methods of modern science. In the laboratory the Work is mostly quantitative and demon- strative rather than illustrative. Its purpose is to teach careful manipulation and the methods by which physical determinations are made. The course is divided as follows: 1. Seventh Grade. Lectures with experiments and recitations: embracing elementary principles and their application to natural phenom- ena. Two periods a Week. 2. junior Year. Scientific Course. Elementary Mechanics, Heat and Electricity. Much time will be devoted to laboratory work. Carhart and Chute's Physics. Gage's Laboratory Course.

' The Academy has a useful collection of lantern slides in Astronomy, and it is with these only that an idea of the telescopic features of the heav- enly bodies can be given to the class. A telescope with an object glass, at least eight inches in diameter, is much needed. Aplace for such an instru- ment was prepared in the Pratt Collegiate building, but it still waits for the generous donor to fill it. A Post-Graduate Course of one year will be given when required. VIII. Department of Mathematics. In the Sixth Grade the- study of Arithmetic is finished, save for the half year of Arithmetical, Review, two years later. L Seventh Grade, Elementary Geometry. G. A. Hill's Elementary Geometry for Beginners. Five times a week. This subject, in addition to- developing the logical faculties, creates geometrical conceptions which are valuable as an introduction to demonstrative geometry.

The best voices are admitted to the Adelphi Academy Glee Club, and there is also special instruction for the members of the Kindergarten Training Class. C. ELOCUTION. Below the Collegiate Department every student receives special in- struction and discipline in reading and declamation. In the Collegiate Department the drill is continued, and more formal instruction in the prin- ciples and theory of elocution is imparted. .46 ADELPINII ACADEilll'. D. DELSARTE EXERCISES. Instruction in Delsartian principles and exercises is given to the young ladies who may be qualified to enter such classes. XI. Department of Physical Culture. The Academy provides, as it always has done, scientihc and system- .atic'physical training for all classes of students. The Adelphi does not seek to develop experts in playing athletic games, It desires only to give to every student a rational plan of physical culture and a safe acquaintance with its benefits. Athletic sports in our schools need direction and re- straintg but a wise physical culture, the education of the body which will support the education of the mind, needs direction and development. Be- low the Seventh Grade the students- of each class perform calisthenic exer- cises at regular intervals in the calisthenic room under the supervision of the Director. The calisthenic exercises are arranged with regard to system and progression, so that the weakest individual can exercise without danger of overwork, The exercises are selected for their physiological and physical effects, not for mere show and appearance. From the Seventh Grade upward there are formed voluntary classes for gymnastic training. At present the boys' classes meet three times a week and the girls' classes twice a week. They are well attended. Each student before exercising in the gymnasium receives a thorough physical examinationg anthropometrical measurements are taken, and the -condition of heart and lungs is recorded. Witli this examination as a basis, a written prescription of exercise is given and followed, which is designed to correct physical defects, to produce symmetrical development and to raise the standard of health. Students who have certain physical defects are allowed extra time in the gymnasium that the defects may be cor- rected. ' Class exercise in gymnastics is systematically and progressively arranged from a knowledge of what is best in each and every system. Beginning with the simplest and easiest movements the exercise increases as the strength increases. The classes are graded according tc the strength, skill and ability of the individual, and each class is limited to eight mem- bers. By thus arranging and grading the classes or squads the exact ,amount of exercise is controlled, and the allowance is in proportion to the strength of the individual. Each class is in charge of a leader, who is carefully selected and specially trained for the position by the physical director. Exercises are arranged in progressive series in the following order: Chest and Pulley- weights, Horizontal Bar, lVaist Bar, Vaulting Bar, Running High jump. Flying Rings, Trapeze, Swinging Poles, Climbing Poles, Horizontal Lad- -ders and Tumbling. ADELPHI ACADEMY. 47 THE KINDERGARTEN TRAINING CLASS. The Adelphi training class combines the advantages of practice in the excellent Kindergarten of the Academy with the same instruc- tion in art, science, music, physical culture, psychology and history that is offered to the advanced classes of the Collegiate Department. The course extends through two years. Candidates for admission must be atleast eighteen years of age,1nusthave had eitherahigh-school training or its equivalent, and must satisfy the Director that they are competent to study kindergartening with prospect of success. Stu- dents Who complete the full course and give satisfactory proof of pro- ficiency and ability will receive a diploma certifying to their attain- ments.

Anatomy is necessary in the education of sur- geons, botany in that of apotnecaries, and geology in that of minersg but none of the three will enable you to draw a man, a flower, or a mountain. You can learn to do that only by looking at themg not by cutting them to pieces. " "And don't think you can paint a peach, because you know that there's a stone inside, nor a face, because you know a skull is. lt -JOHN RUSKIN. The whole of the upper story of the new Collegiate Building is devoted to this department. There is a spacious studio which is furnished with full and half-sized statues, large and small torsos, busts, masks, and reliefs. There is also a large room for classes in drawing and in painting from life. Besides, there are three rooms: for modeling, the making of casts, and forthe use of small classes. The professor in charge meets students once a month for criticism in composition and design. A class in sketching meets once a week in the evening. The Life Class meets three evenings a week to draw from the ngure. The Art Department ofthe Adelphi Academy has performed a pioneer workin developing the study of line arts in Brooklyn, and the Academy is justly proud of this honorable service. Among the noted artists who have begun their labors in this department under Prof. I. B. Whittaker, may be mentioned such names as these: Miss Eleanor Bannister, who after a residence of less than six months in Paris, took the "Concours " prize.

I, The Buildings.-The group of three buildings now occupied by the Adelphi Academy fills the entire end of the block between Lafayette, Avenue and Clifton Place, zoo X 150 feet. The central building is an assembly hall, 50 X 72 feet, with sittings for about a thousand persons. In the basement, extending across the whole block, is the gymnasium, occupying three large rooms and covering a space zoo X 50 feet. The ventilation of all the buildings is complete and perfect. A large fan is placed in the upper part of each building, discharging air from a reservoir which receives Ventilating dues from all the rooms. These fans are driven by electric motors from a dynamo connected with a forty horse-power engine. By this means the air in both buildings can be completely renewed at least once every half hour in the most unfavorable weather. The principal room in the gymnasium opens directly into the outer air by means of large skylights in the roof, so that these rooms are especially well lighted and ventilated. The buildings are conveniently reached by the Brooklyn Union Elevated R R. CDeKalb or Greene Avenue Stationsj, or by the Greene, DeKalb, Franklin, Vanderbilt and Fulton electric cars. ll. The Library and Reading Room.-The Library of the Academy now contains about six thousand volumes, It is well sup- .QDELPHI ACADED4 Y. 51 plied with the most useful works of reference, encyclopaedias, dictionaries and atlases. The reading tables are well stocked with the best papers and magazines for the use of the members of the Academy. The librarian is in constant attendance, and there is a complete card catalog. Both library and reading room are at the service of the students in all the departments 'of the Academy. During the year the library has received considerable accessions through tl1e gifts of Dr. Henry Zick, and of Mrs. Goodnow, in memory of her son, Clarence D, Goodnow, of the class of '94, Among the principal periodicals on file in the reading room are the following: The American Agriculturist, Anthony's Photographic Bulletin, Popu- lar Astronomy, The Atlantic Monthly, The Book Buyer, The Century Magazine, Child Garden, The Congressional Record, The Contemporary Review, The Cosmopolitan, Education, The Educational Review, The Fortnightly Review, The Forum, The Geographical Journal, Harpers Magazine, Harper's Weekly, Harvard Graduates' Magazine, The Illus- trated London News, The Journal of Education, The Kindergarten Magazine, Kindergarten News, The Magazine of Art, The Nineteenth Century, Outing, The Popular Science Monthly, Power, The Review of Reviews, The School Bulletin, The School Review, Science, The Scien- tific American and Supplement, Scribner's Magazine, The Yale Review, The Youth's Companion. HI. The Gymnasium and Playing:Field.-The gymnasium is in charge of a Director who is a physician., and of a lady assistant who is especially charged with the conduct of the girls' classes. The calisthenium is a spacious room provided with a piano and with the usual equipment of wands, clubs and bells. The remaining space, besides dressing-rooms, bath-room and offices, contains two large rooms well supplied with all modern apparatus. In these rooms are found a hand-ball court and basket-ball field, chest weights, back and loin attachments, intercostal machines, traveling parallels and a quarter circle, a set of Swedish apparatus and of climbing apparatusg twelve-pound shots and hammers, with vaulting apparatusg a full equipment for anthropometric work, and all the best appliances for gymnastic exercises, including rings, bars, horses, parallels, ladders, mattresses and trapeze. The playing Held, which is now in the possession of the Acad- 52 ADELPHI ACA DEMY. einy, is situated near Classon Avenue, between Park Place and Pro- spect Place. It is near the Franklin Avenue, Bergen Street and At- lantic Avenue lines of cars, and is about twelve minutes' walk from the Academy. Its dimensions are such as to afford suliicient room for all the usual games. Inasmuch as the iield has but recently come under the control of the Academy it is still in need of additional equipment, and the hope is that the friends of theAcademy will be glad to assist in this most indispensable work. IV, Equipment of the Kindergarten.-The rooms for this de- partment are all well lighted, conveniently situated upon the first floor of the Academic Building, and very near to the Lafayette Ave- nue and St. james Place entrances. The rooms are well supplied with cabinets in which the materials of work are stored and the handi- work of the pupils displayed. Every necessary aid is supplied for the games and music. Provision is made for the observation of growing plants and of living animals. V, Equipment of the Academic Department.-During the twenty-tive years of the existence of the Academy, a very consider- able supply of materials to illustrate the teaching of History, Geog- raphy, Natural Science and Number, has been accumulated. The best physical and political maps and a great number of pictures and charts for use in the study of Natural History, Geography and polit- ical and social History have been imported from Germany and France. The principal characteristics of this equipment may be inferred from the following list: To lllustrate Botanical Study: 1.

The Physical Laboratories. The laboratories for Physics are well arranged for their special use. The equipment is already large. A clock, beating seconds, gives electrical signals in all the rooms. There is a bench with tools for both wood and metal work, .and an engine lathe driven by an electric motor. For accurate meas- urement there are vernier and micrometer gauges, a spherometer, ggood balances and a Koenig's tuning-fork chronograph. There are .also alarge air pump with accessories, an Atwood's machine, and much apparatus to demonstrate the laws of force and motion. There is-a complete set of meteorological instruments, with which a daily record is kept. For heat measurements there are calorimeters, thermometers, and a thermopile. The sound apparatus includes sonometers, a set of Koenig's forks, and apparatus for demonstrating the timbre of sounds by manornetric flames, organ pipes, and tubes for measuring wave length. In optics the equipment includes a Browning spectroscope with two prisms, a Rutherfurd diffrection grating, a spectrometer just imported from Germany, a Bunsen photometer complete with candle balance, wet meter Methven screen and standard Argand gas burner, apparatus for producing the spectra of metals by the electric arc, Nicol's prisms and .apparatus for illustrating the polarization of light, compound microstopes .and facilities for measuring the focal lengths of lenses and mirrors. Among the electrical instruments may be enumerated batteries of vari- ous types, a rellecting Thomson's galvanometer of six thousand ohms, a Wheatstone's bridge of twenty-one thousand ohms, various resistance boxes, a D'Arsonval horizontal magnet galvanometer with both ordinary and ballistic coils, several forms of astatic needle and tangent galvano- meters, an Elliott condenser, Mascart electrometer, Weston voltmeter and ammeter, Carhart-Clark cell, large Ruhmkorif coil, Toepler machine, besides other forms of galvanometers and bridges, and much general apparatus. The apparatus provides for practicing the variou smodes of measuring current, potential and resistance. There is an electric lighting and power plant, consisting of a 40 horse-power engine, a 250-light U. S. direct current dynamo, and three U. S. motors. During the hours of session these furnish current in the lecture-room and laboratories, and drive the Ventilating fans. At other times connection is had with the Edison 3-wire system, givin-rf a constant potential of 230 volts. U 58 ADELPNI AOADERd Y. The department is provided with a good photographic outfit, a 62 X SZ camera with a Dallmeyer lens, a rox I2 copying camera, and a dark room well ventilated and lighted by the electric light, equipped with every necessary appliance.

LIST OF BOOKS FOR USE IN THE STUDY OF ENGLISH, as reading-books, text-books, and materials for the study of English grammar and literature. It is not expected that any class will, in one year, certainly make use of all the books that are mentioned in this list under the class numeral. A generous selection is made, and the selection is likely to vary somewhat from year to year, as experience dictates or as new material is offered. No part of the new work of the Academy has been the subject of more study or the cause of more interest than this endeavor to improve the char 62 A DELI-'IXII AOADEBIH7. acter ofthe reading in English. The discipline in formal grammar does not become less thorough, and, on the other hand, the interest of pupils in good literature does become more evident. Above all, the plan of the English work, which makes it a basis of other studies, has succeeded in ex- citing and sustaining a commendable appetite for information in geo- graphy, history and science. 1 The Library Section of the Department of Pedagogy in the Brooklyn Institute, has been making, during this Winter season, a special study of reading-books for children. The annual report of this section recommends that reading-books which convey dehnite information should be chosen that pathetic passages should be avoided out of regard for the healthy ner- vous development of the child, that ethical lessons should be given indi- rectly rather than directly, and that dialog which presents ungrammati- cal or vulgar language should be banished. The report also contains this statement: "This Circle has examined carefully the books in use in the Adelphi Academy and most heartily commends them, several of the mem- bers testifying to the value of the books from experience in their families during the year just closing. The result of the use of these books has been a marked improvement in reading, a better use of language, and a very evident desire for more informationf, 1 ACADEMIC DEPARTVIENT.-First Grade. Genera!

The Register of Graduates, which has heretofore been printed annually, will hereafter be issued to the Alumni at intervals of three years. The Bursar, Miss Morrill, should be informed of any changes in address or of any items of interest concerning Alumni, in order that the list which was published in the catalog for 1893-Q4 may be corrected to date. The Academy is indebted to many members of this Association for their earnest efforts during the current year to raise funds for the equipment of the Adelphi Playing Field. It is largely due to their labors that the field has been fenced and placed in condition for use as a baseball ground this spring. At the annual meeting of the Association, held at the Academy during the evening of April 15th, 1895, the following members were elected to till the offices for the year ensuing : T A President, Mr. joel S. de Selding, Caton Avenue, Flatbush, Vice-President, Miss Caroline D. Camp, 257 Lafayette Avenue, Sec- retary, Miss Mabel L. 1-lastings, 276 Ryerson Streetg Treasurer, Mr. Charles P. Hutchins, 796 DeKalb Avenue. V A notable development in the Alumni organization has occurred during the year in the formation of an auxiliary association known as the H Associate Alumnae of the Adelphi Academy." This Association was organized on the second of February, 1895. All Alumnae of the Academy are eligible to membership. The As- sociation is intended to provide for the Alumnae convenient means for better social acquaintance and for organized effort in behalf of the Academy. For the greater convenience of the members the meetings of the Association are held in the afternoon. - P The officers. for the present year are as follows: President, Miss Caroline D. Camp, 257 Lafayette Avenueg Vice-President, Miss Mary M. Braman, 521 Clinton Avenue, Treasurer, Miss Helen F. Pratt, 232 Clinton Avenueg Secretary, Miss Isabel Peckham, 406 Classon Avenue .--' 84 ADJSLPIXII ACA DEMY. ANNOUNCEMENT. Professor Warren T. Webster has been in the Adelphi Academy so long that people have rightly come to regard him and the Acad- emy' itself as almost identical. He entered the school before it was incorporated, and this is his twenty-eighth year of continuous ser- vice. During this time, at the head of the classical department he has won enviable fame, both as a teacher of the classical languages and as an educator,whose strong and admirable personality has made a deep and lasting impression upon all pupils who entered the collegiate department of the Academy. It is not too much to say that Professor VVebster has not only won the respect, but the affec- tion of every class that has come under his supervision. After these twenty-eight years of service, Professor Webster's health has become much impaired. In recognition of his long labor and need of rest, the Board of Trustees has granted him a year's leave of absence, dur- ing which time it is his intention to go abroad, mainly in search of health and recreation, and partly also for educational profit. The active work of controlling and directing the whole course of the classical study in the Academy must now be placed in other hands, and it is believed that the best man within reach has been secured in the person of Professor William Cranston Lawton. Professor Lawton is already well known tothe public as a teacher and author. He graduated at Harvard with the Class of 1873, winning at that time a place in the Harvard Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa. He was placed immediately at the head of the classical department of the New Bedford High School, and remained there for seven years, gaining recognition as a most successful teacher of preparatory Latin and Greek. He left this position in order to enter upon an extended course of postgraduate study and of travel, chieiiy in the old world. He was a member of the Assos Archaeological expedition to Asia Minor in the year 1881. He also lived and studied for several years in Germany and Italy. Afterwards, for seven years more, he was Professor of classical languages in one of the nnest preparatory schools in the city of Boston, and was also actively engaged in the efforts to support the ADELPHI ACADEMY. 85 American School of Greek at Athens, and to raise funds for the purchase of the site of the temple at Delphi. After the school in which Professor Lawton was engaged passed under a new manage- ment, he left it and engaged in literary work and in lecturing. He also did collegiate work in instruction at Bryn Mawr and Columbia College. In the latter institution he now holds a lectureship, In recent years he has been much interested in university extension work, and his course of lectures on H The Literary Study of Homer " attracted the favorable attention of audiences at the Brooklyn Insti- tute. Mr. Lawton is a member ofthe American Philological Associa- tion and of the Archaeological Institute, and for four years held the position of Secretary to the latter organization. His literary talents and fine aesthetic discrimination are well known to all readers of the Atlamic Mofzilzbf, in which a large amount of his published work has appeared. His extended travels in Greece and Asia Minor, especially in connection with the Expedition to Assos, and with the American Greek School at Athens, have enabled him to give a strong local color to his studies of classical authors, and many of the obser- vations which were the result of his sojourn in the East have already become familiar to the readers of the Aflanizk. In 1889 he published, through the house of Houghton, Miiiilin 8: Co., a scholarly and in- teresting volume, entitled 'K Three Dramas of Euripidesf' Q f'466' 4 45 X
