The Preparatory Department its :lo nie 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 lfligh School and College Departments. The College uniforms are required and the Prep 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 knowledge of grammar is given. SPICLIQING-Daily lessons, a text-book having delinitions. ' READING-NVitl1 a dictionary, getting the meaning of the selection rcaclg giving the meaning by proper in- tlections-Qa rare arty, special drills for backward readers. ARITIlMli'l'lC-Addition, subtraction, multiplication, divi- sion tall so generally negiectedj, fractions, decimals. Daily drills in all of these, for accuracy, speed and lasting efficiency. Usual school course along with this. PlCNlX'lANSl:.l.l1'-The .Palmer or forearm movement, CSpeci- mens in lllustrationsj. Parents will please be pa- tient with the almost unreadable penmansbip which their boys write while changing from the linger to the arm inovement, and with the ovals and drills required for so long a time. The importance of a good hand is insisted on by allg 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. .SlX'l'lI GRADE. Granimar. Composition. Spelling. Arithmetic. Reading. Q llenmanship.
