Primary Department . Room One The primary department is one of importance for it is in the first grades the foundation of school life is laid. Here habits of study, industry and discipline are framed. In room one the aim has been to give the children the right viewpoint of and love for school life. They must learn the lessons of truthfulness, unselfishness politeness and cleanli- ness. fhey must learn that there is only one riaht way to do a thing and this, without exception, is the way to pro- ceed to do the task that is set before them. Children learn, in their first school years, the habits of industry. All work must of a necessity be neat and uniform. There has been no variety in the organization of our room, for we tound the easiest, quickest and most quiet way of conducting our work, and made that our set way, for good habits of industry eliminate variety as th-re is only one right way. Now we think that if children learn these good habits in their first years, and these are required of them in the higher grades, there is a chance of them making good, systematic business managers. We have hoped to realize these aims along with the aim of giving them a working basis in their studies. It is not so much for a child to read his readers from cover to cover if he does not know how to get a. word in another book, so we have aimed not only to teach them to read the primer, first reader and second reader, but to make them independent of anyone's help in learning new words and just so in numbers and spelling. Our aims are and should be higher than our accomplishments, but we feel that they have been realized, at least, in part. MIRIAAI VVHITE. n - '
