18 ADELPHI ACADEMY. The Adelphi Academy comprises five divisions: The Kinder- garten, the Academic Department, the Collegiate Bepantment, the Art .Dfpartmerngiasnd fthe. Bepa'r1m'ren't 'OT Physical Culture. The Kindergarten Course may extend through three years. It forms an admirable preparation for the Work of the Primary grades. A training-class for teachers is maintained in connection with the Kindergarten. Into the Kindergarten itself children four years old and upward are admitted. They have careful attention from the time of reaching the building until they leave, and are trained by the most approved methods. 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 in the Kindergarten rooms. Other visitors are requested to apply for admission in the Bursar's office. The vacations are the same as in other departments of the Academy. The Academic Department comprises eight classes, including the three Primary grades, formerly called Preparatory in the Adelphi. Pupils may be admitted to this department who have attained the age of six years or over. The course of study is com- pleted in eight years. The studies of the eighth year involve what is usually called 'fthe High-School grade of work. Rooms and hours of the school session in this department are so arranged that pupils of the three 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 Literary thereafter to be called the Collegiatej Course and the Scientific Course. The Classical Course affords a thorough preparation for any American university, and graduates from this course will have read as much Latin and Greek as will satisfy collegiate requirements as far as the end of Sophomore year.

ADELPHI ACADEMY. 21 The 'Collegiate Course offers a comprehensive education in Languages, Literature, History and Politics, Philosophy and the Fine Arts, and Natural Science. The Scientific Course gives a thorough preparation for any advanced scientific or technical college, while graduates from this course will have an assured practical knowledge of Physics, Chem- istry, Mathematics and its applications in Mechanics and Surveying, l-Iistory and Languages, including the mother-tongue. The choice of elective studies in any of these courses is made subject to the approval of the Faculty. 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 university, the diploma of- the Academy may be granted to him or her in due course upon evidence that an equivalent of the remain- ing 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 special lines of work, or may take a more systematic and comprehensive course, four years in length. The Department of Physical Culture offers facilities for out- door and indoor exercise of all kinds and grades. From the be- ginning of the Adelphi Academy this Department has performed an important- and prominent work in it. The curriculum of this De- partment is coterminous in years with that of the Academy, and special students are 'enabled to pursue special lines of exercise un- der competent direction. Admission of Students.-The regular examinations for ad- mission will take place on june 13, 1894, and on September 19, zo and zr, 1894, at the Academy. Admission at any time is granted to those Who pass satisfactory examinations in the work that has been done by the classes which they propose to enter. Students from other schools who have not had all the studies offered in the earlier years rin the year 1894 the former usage of allowing classical students to graduate with only three years of work in the Collegiate Department will be observed for the last time.
