CONSPECTUS OF STU-DIES. Subject to modifications made necessary by transition from old curriculum and by requirements of time-tables. TH E KINDERGARTEN. Two Years' 2- Coursc. 3 Sessions 9 to ' 12 o'clock. 1. The Songs and Games ofthe 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 mindg 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 oi language and reason. The right beginning is half the battle. ' Th ird Year. A third or intermediate year is proposed, which shall be a transition year for pupils who have completed the foregoing work, but are not yet mature enough for the tasks of the- first primary grade. This year will continue advanced Kindergarten work in draw- ing, modelling and elementary number, with the beginnings of Primary instruction in language. ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. l. Language. ll.
