GRADE VIII-Rapid drill on dates and im- portant facts topically arranged. Finish the large History and review the whole subject, preparing for the Bridgeport examination about March 1. Before using additional texts, source readers, and reference books, be careful to wait until the pupils have first from their own book a nucleus of mental associations, properly co-ordinated about a given topic; otherwise, the result is cramming, confusion, and decrease of interest in the subject. Conduct the history recitations upon lines, geographical, biographical, progres- sive as to cause and effect, and always topical.
252
Continue the note-books. See the outlines of pre- ceding grades for further suggestions. Give fre- quent written tests.
PHYSIOLOGY
GRADES I TO IV-Once a week. General les- sons on physiology, emphasizing the hygiene side of the subject. Teach the importance of health for all success in life and the simple rules for preserving and increasing this. Grades III and IV read together Blaisdell's "Child's Book of Health".
GRADES V, VI AND VII-Once a week. Have children own and study Stowell's "A Healthy Body", or equivalent. As in preceding grades, have the work in this subject count for large health and more successful living. Allow no vivisection or anything else having a tendency to make boys cruel. In treating alcohol and nar- cotics, do not preach, but concisely and force- fully show the possible ill-health and the certain curtailment of material success that will come to those who habitually use these things.
PHYSICAL CULTURE
All grades use Bancroft's "School Gymnas- tics".
Mixed schools. Separate into two groups or grades. Give each Grade five minutes a day. Grade B take First and Second Series in the Book. Grade A take Third and Fourth Series. Have Grade B take their work in the A.M., and Grade A in the P.M. If after one or more year's use of Bancroft's "School Gymnastics," higher Series are not found too difficult for either grade, these may be substituted for those men- tioned above. Close or exact grading is not nec- essary in this branch, neither is physical exer- cise-although every movement given has for its object health and bodily control-nor the ability to go through imperfectly a large num- ber of movements. Rather, prompt and accurate obedience and the perfect execution of a few movements, not by individuals, but by the grade as one individual, are the desired goal.
Schools with two departments. Divide the primary department into two grades. Grade B take the First Series and part of the Second. Grade A take the Second Series and part of the Third. The grammar department need not be divided. Let it take as a whole the Third Series
and part of the Fourth. Read the suggestions under Mixed Schools above.
Schools with three or more departments. Di- vide lowest primary into two grades. Grade B take First Series and Grade A the Second Series. The other departments need not be divided. The advanced primary review the Second Series and take the Third Series. The intermediate department review the Third Series and take the Fourth. The grammar department take the Fifth and Sixth Series. Read the suggestions under Mixed Schools above.
COURSE OF STUDY-ADOPTED 1905, in READING and SPELLING
READING
GRADE I-The Ward Primer and one or more supplementary primers. FOLLOW CLOSELY THE WARD TEACHER'S MANUAL. Secure good expression from the start. Read twice a day. Read many stories to the children.
GRADE II-The Ward First Reader and three other first readers, if possible. FOLLOW CLOSELY THE MANUAL. Talk over every story with the class until they get the thought. Read over several times every selection the children like. However much time it takes, se- cure good expression; it can be done, insist on securing it. Have one of the best readers, of course not always the same pupil, read first in class. Read twice a day. Read many stories to the children.
GRADE III-The Ward Second Reader and as many supplementary readers as possible. FOLLOW CLOSELY THE MANUAL. Insist on good expression. Encourage the children to read easy stories by themselves. Discover all the best books adapted to this grade in the Li- brary and help your pupils in selecting these. If possible, read twice a day. Read to the child- ren several choice books.
GRADE IV-The Ward Third Reader and either Stepping Stones to Literature, Book III or the Morse Third and Fourth Readers, with other supplementary readers, if possible. Con- tinue phonic drills. Secure good expression. Cul- tivate in your pupils a love for good reading. Acquaint yourself with the best books for this grade in the Library and help your children in selecting these. Occasionally read to them a story
253
or a part of an interesting book. Require each child, unless for good cause, to read during the year ten library books from a list of at least twenty-five books selected by the teacher.
GRADE V-The Ward Fourth Reader and Stepping Stones to Literature, Book IV with other supplementary readers, if possible. Be sure the children get the thought of all they read. Do not read so many books that the class can- not read over several times every selection they enjoy. Secure good expression and continue syl- labication, diacritical marks, and phonetic drill. For cultivating the library habit in your pupils, see Grade IV. Ten books to be read by each pupil from the teacher's selected list of at least twenty-five books.
GRADE VI-Three times a week. Stepping Stones to Literature, Book V and supplementary readers. Continue syllabication, diacritical marks, and phonetic drill. Be sure the children understand the meaning of the words and get the thought of selections read. Encourage every child to own and to use a small, but good, dic- tionary. Occasionally read to your pupils enough of a book you wish to interest them in to make them borrow the book and finish it. Twelve books to be read by each pupil from the teacher's list of at least twenty-five books.
GRADE VII-Three times a week. Stepping Stones to Literature, Book VI or equivalent, Hoxie's "How the People Rule", and other sup- plementary readers. Continue syllabication, dia- critical marks and phonetic drill. See Grade VI for further suggestions. Fifteen books from teacher's list to be read by each pupil.
GRADE VIII-Two or three times a week. Stepping Stones to Literature, Book VII or equivalent. Lead the children to observe and appreciate the beauties and peculiarities of the different selections. Seek to arouse an interest in the leading authors by discussing some of the most interesting points in their lives. Study fig- ures of speech and styles of expression, and continue use of dictionary for pronunciation and meaning of unfamiliar words. In this grade, do not seek so much to read a large amount as to appreciate and give correct expression to all that is read. Fifteen books from teacher's list to be read by each pupil.
SPELLING
GRADES I AND II-In connection with read- ing. Follow closely the directions for spelling in Ward's Manual of Reading, pages 29 to 31 and 69 to 72.
GRADE III-Follow closely the Ward Rational Speller, Part I. Book in teacher's hands and lessons put on the blackboard. Spell both orally and by writing. In dictating for written spelling, give the pupils plenty of time to write well. If possible, pronounce each word but once. In this and the following grades, give spelling its full quota of time and attention; grade the pupils closely in this branch and accept only excellent work. In addition to the regular spelling lesson, require pupils to learn all important words in the other lessons.
GRADE IV-The Quincy Word List in the hands of the pupils. Pages 40 to 56, group 17. On pages 118 to 140, select about one fourth of the words, choosing those best adapted to this grade. In Grades IV to VIII, observe the fol- lowing steps, all of which need not be taken in one period, suggested by Supt. Chas. W. Deane of Bridgeport, Conn. 1. Presentation of printed words on chart or words written by the teacher on the board. The more difficult words to be se- lected for special teaching. 2. Pronunciation of all the words, which are to be in plain view, by the pupils correctly and distinctly. 3. Oral spelling of the words, which are to be in view, by the pupils correctly and distinctly; the words to be divided into syllables and the syllables separately pronounced. 4. Difficulties carefully pointed out by the teacher. Do not call attention to possible errors, but emphasize the correct feature; e.g. SEPARATE, lead pupils to notice that the second syllable is a; FEASIBLE, sec- ond syllable is i, etc. 5. Copying the words by pupils. See that they are copied correctly and are plainly written. 6. Pupils' oral spelling of the words by syllables from memory. 7. Pupils write the words from memory, not dividing into syllables.
GRADE V-The Quincy Word List, pages 56 to 72, group 32. Also, on pages 118 to 140, select a second fourth of the words, choosing those best adapted to this grade. See suggestions in Grade IV.

This hand written letter was found in the book THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY from SLAVERY TO FREEDOM by WILBUR H. SIEBERT in Pequot Library, Southport, Conn.
Abolitionism
My first recollections of "Abolition of Slavery" was from conversation between my father and his abolitionist friends heard by me in my earliest child- hood. He was a "rank abolitionist" and an agent of the underground railroad. I have frequently heard from my mother's lips about their harboring the black man as he was being guided by the north star toward Freedom. Canada was their destination. At one time five persons were kept three days and two nights, one man's wife and mother-in-law were of the part. The mother-in-law was taken sick and as it was unsafe for a slave to be seen in daylight, Mother and Father had to be Doctor and Nurse. As related to me, the programme was about as fol- lows. About 9 p.m. a timid knock was heard at the door; the question "Dis Massa Main?" Answer "Yes, boys, come in." The guests were fed and made comfortable. The next night they were speeded to the next station Sandy Hook a suburb of New- town, Conn. In my young womanhood my father took me on a trip up the Hudson River and pointed out to me the place where once lived the old ferry- man who brought them across to the Connecticut shore. While still a child I was enchanted by the
story of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" written by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. I shed tears freely at the sorrows of the poor unhappy slave, and laughed as heartily at Topsy's capers. Later I read Mr. Lin- coln's "Emancipation Proclamation" giving freedom to the negro, lived through the struggle of the cruel "Civil War." Among some of the stories told me by Mother was one of a woman on the line whose name I have unfortunately forgotten, who harbored four stalwart darkies being suspicioned of the fact-the house was searched, but unsuccessfully. As the raid- ers were about leaving the woman said: "There is one place you have not searched, and handed them her "best bonnet" saying that "The crown is large." They left disappointed and chagrined and the four darkies were safely stowed between two large feather beds, said bed nicely made up. Among other good friends of the "runaway" was Capt. Johnson who often was guilty (not found) of "aiding and abet- ting" the escaping darkey on his boat running from New York to Stamford, Connecticut.
