The Preparatory Department lillit The Preparatory course, which consists of the 6th, 7th and Sth grades of the usual common school course, has a separate staff of teachers, has class and recreation and physical train- ing hours exclusively its own, apart from the l-ligh School and College Departments. The College uniforms are required and the trep students are regular members of the College Cadet Corps, taking part in all exercises and parades. Special insistence is made, in these three grades, on: GRAMMAR-The parts of speech, parsing, analysis, dia- grammingg--these fundamental things, while other and fuller li1l0WlCClgC of grammar is given. SPELLING-Daily lessons, a text-book having delinitions. READING-NVith a dictionary, getting the meaning of the selection read, giving the meaning by proper in- rlcctions--Ca rare artjg special drills for backward readers. ARITHMETIC-Addition, subtraction, multiplication, divis- ion, Qso generally neglectedl, fractions, decimals. Daily drills in all of these, for accuracy, speed and lasting efficiency. Usual school course along with this. PENMANSI-l.lP-The Palmer or forearm movement, QSpeci- mens in Illustrationsj. Parents will please be pa- tient with the almost unreadable penmanship which their boys write while changirg from the linger to the arm movement, and with the Ovals and drills required for so long a time. The importance of a good hand is insisted on by all, our success in giv- ing it is not so generally known. The writing in illustration is from seven different classes and can be duplicated by the majority of our pupils. SIXTH GRADE. Grammar. Composition. Spelling. Arithmetic. Reading. Penmanship.
