The Calendar 337Report of the University Elementary SchoolIV.The subject of history for Groups IV and V (average age, seven to eight) is colonization in America,emphasizing the struggle of man in adapting hispowers to subdue natural conditions. We startedwith the history of Chicago, taking first the period ofexploration. Marquette and Joliet were chosen asrepresentatives of this time since they spent so muchtime in this region. As some of the children had beento Fort Mackinaw, others to Fox River and several tothe Mississippi, it was easy to make Marquette's travelsvery real to them. We followed him on both his tripsto the Mississippi and spent some time with him duringhis last winter near Chicago. We discussed theobstacles he had to overcome in getting about, in procuring food and shelter, and his relations with theIndians. The children insisted on having the journalof Marquette read to them, and though some of it wasin language far beyond them, they were intensely interested in what "Marquette wrote himself."Extracts from this journal are found in Moses' "History of Chicago," Vol. I.The Historical Society proved a great help in theway of pictures, there being in their building a seriesfrom the life of Marquette, two of the country aboutChicago as it looked then, besides many relics andoriginal papers. We next took up Chicago as a fur-trading and military post, discussing why Fort Dearborn should have been built here and why it was animportant trading point. From this we went on tothe study of how the people lived, what their houseswere like, how they got their food and clothing, howletters came and how the people traveled. Wefollowed Mrs. Kinzie on her ten days' trip as describedin Waubun (which book is the best we found onpioneer life about here).Then we studied the development of Fort Dearborninto the city of Chicago; the beginnings of roads,the water supply, schools, etc. The children wereinterested in how the government had developed butthat subject being too complicated, it was thoughtbest to leave it until we could find some system moresimple.A week was spent on the life of Lincoln, he beingone of the greatest men of pioneer days who lived inIllinois.Having studied the most familiar environment,attention was transferred to the development ofPlymouth Colony which the children are now studying ; why the Pilgrims left England and went to Holland, then why they left Holland. They have dis-332 UNIVERSITY RECORDcussed what steps the pilgrims had to take beforestarting, the formation of a company, the raising offunds, providing provisions, implements, etc.; thenwhy they settled at Plymouth. Later we shall studythe development of the government, the home, religion,strife for food and shelter; and anything that willmake the times and people real and vivid.The lives of some of the principal men as Brewster,Bradford, Standish will be followed as far as possible.Then New York as a typical Dutch colony and Virginiaas a typical southern one will be taken up in muchthe same manner as that of Plymouth, comparisonsbeing made between them constantly.As will be seen from the foregoing, the attempt isnot made to cover the whole subject of colonization,nor to take it up on a chronological basis. The idealis not securing exhaustive information, but concepts ofthe typical motives inducing to colonization, thestruggles and difficulties attending it, the forms oflife resulting, and an intelligent interest in the typicalforces which entered into the make up of this country.In this work an effort has been made to use, as farpossible, original sources. Two of the best of theseare : " American History Told by Contemporaries "edited by Hart ; " Customs and Fashions in Old NewEngland" by Alice Morse Earle which is very good forthe domestic life of the times, a great deal being takenfrom Judge SewelFs diary.University Extension Division.REPORT OF THE FREE LECTURES DELIVERED UNDER THEJOINT AUSPICES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOAND THE CHICAGO BOARD OF EDUCATION.* Autumn Quarter, 1897.PERKINS BASS SCHOOL."Nation Making in the Nineteenth Century," byAssistant Professor George E.

Fellows. Lectures 1-3(inclusive) were given.Average attendance, 125. 40 per cent, were adults.Pupils from the eighth grade and the high schools wereadmitted. The principal of the school thinks theattendance would have been much larger had the lectures been given on some other evening than Saturday. The remaining three lectures of the course willbe given in January.ANDERSEN SCHOOL." The North American Indians," by Dr. Merton L.Miller.1) The Mound Builders. Nov. 29.2) The Tribes of the Northwest Coast. Dec. 6.3) The Pueblo Indians. Dec. 13.4) The Aztecs. Dec. 20.This course was illustrated by the McintoshBattery and Optical Co.

Dec. 4.4) Picturesque and Panoramic Rome (continued).Dec. 11.5) Ruins and Relics of Pompeii. Dec. 18.Average attendance, 125. This course was managedby the Hull House, and it is thought the attendancewould have been much larger had the lectures beengiven on some other evening than Saturday.The principals of the schools, without exception,have reported that the patrons have manifested adeep and growing interest in these lectures. A furtherevidence of this interest is the universal desire expressed that each of the schools be made a permanent centre for the delivery of free lectures.The total attendance at the thirty-four lecturesdelivered was 7774, of whom 75 per cent, were adults.The importance of these lectures from an educational point of view can be appreciated only when weobserve the educational sequence in which they weredelivered. In the majority of instances, the lecturesdelivered were those which are regularly presentedbefore University Extension audiences. While it wasnecessary at times that they be somewhat popularized,yet the subject-matter was the same, the method oftreatment only being varied. The interest manifestedat the Perkins Bass School, at which a traveling library and syllabi were furnished, leads to the conclusion that provision should be made to have booksbearing upon the lectures delivered placed at the disposal of those in attendance. It is, therefore, suggested that in the future special arrangements bemade with the Chicago Public Library to place suchbooks in the hands of the principals of the variousschools for circulation among those who are in attendance at the lectures. The entire course of lectures at the AndersenSchool was illustrated with stereopticon views, aswere likewise occasional lectures at the Perkins Bassand Curtis schools.The following resolutions were unanimously adoptedat the conclusion of the course of lectures at the Perkins Bass School :" We, the patrons and friends of the Perkins BassSchool and attendants upon the Free Lecture Centre,desire to express to the University Extension management of the University of Chicago our most heartyappreciation of this first course of free lectures justclosed."The uniform large attendance proves, we think,an earnest interest on the part of this community, andwe hope that the work thus inaugurated here may becontinued." We desire, also, to express to the Board of Education our sincere thanks for the use of the AssemblyHall, and we are glad to feel that our magnificentschool buildings are more and more coming to be usedfor the benefit of all the people."We wish, also, to express to Dr. George E. Fellowsour earnest appreciation of his very instructive lectures as well as the entertaining manner in whichthey have been presented. We feel that our historical horizon has been greatly broadened and that agreat many most interesting questions have been madeclear." We would also take this opportunity of conveyingto Mr. Ormsby, the principal of the Perkins BassSchool, our acknowledgment for his efforts in securing for us the Course of Historical Lectures byDr. Fellows and our grateful recognition of his earnestendeavors to promote and encourage the intellectuallife of our neighborhood." It is ordered that copies of these resolutions besent to all of the above mentioned."By the Committee,E©. TlNSLEY,James Hunt,F, C. Alem,Marshall Bronson,W. T.
