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.

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.
