The children aretaught to understand the meaning of words fromtheir connection with the object or action, rather thantheir English equivalents. The names for parts ofthe human body were learned first, then the parts ofa bird. This gave an opportunity for comparison.When a sufficient number of nouns had been masteredto make a variety in form of sentences, a few activeverbs were taught, the teachers performing the actionat the time the verb was given. With these verbs andthe nouns learned the children formed sentences inthe present tense. From this to the second and thirdpersons of the verbs in the present tense was an easystep. They were then ready to take up simple storiesand fables. In these both English and Latin wereused, the Latin nouns and verbs learned being substituted for their English equivalents.Primitive life was not studied by this group lastyear. Accordingly it was decided to go rapidly overthis subject.The children were able to understand easily thefoods on which people of the cave period must havedepended, and to realize in some measure conditionsof life when all tools, weapons, and utensils had to beinvented, and when the race was working out its ownpreservation against such fearful odds.Extracts from " The Story of Ab," by Stanley Waterloo, were used to give vivid pictures, and when thestory was ended it was proposed that the class continue the story, taking up each new invention, discovery, or custom, and describing it. The class as awhole discusses wThat must have been the manner ofdiscovery, invention, or combination for defense ; theneach member writes his description, and the best one(judged by the class) is incorporated in the story withthe author's name. The story is being type- written,and is used as the reading lesson of the class.Ae the story of Ab waa laid in England, some idea of the geography was given the children, and in theirfuture work the country will be studied in which thepeoples are located.It was difficult to get city-bred children to imaginethe conditions of forest life, and there was a constanttendency to regard the whole thing as a "campingout" expedition. It was attempted at first to haveeach member of the class personate the leader of atribe, and work out for himself the conditions mostfavorable for supporting life. But this seemed onlyto recall stories they had heard of summer partieswhere pleasure and not existence was the thoughtuppermost. The boys showed a tendency to have onlymen in their tribes, or at best, only two or threewomen, whom they said " would be enough to do thecooking." So this plan was given up and the storysubstituted, in which the girls could have an equalchance.In deciding on the number in the whole tribe anunexpected dislike to having many children came out.An average of two to a family was deemed by theclass as entirely too large, and it was only by citingknown cases in the class, where there were five andeight in a family, that this small average was finallyaccepted. But that the antipathy was not whollyovercome appeared when the children wrote up thecrossing of the English Channel to go into France.Here two members of the class had the raft overturnedand all the children drowned.The inventions so far studied have been the bowand arrow, the spear, stone axe, and the hollowed-outstone pot in which food was cooked by dropping hotstones in the water.Shelter was changed from the cave to the rude hutof branches. Gesture language has been describedand the first ideas of death and mode of burial.Weapons have been improved by grinding the flintspears and arrow-heads on sandstone to secure smoothness.French was studied last year, and much progresshas been made. The names of most common fruitsand vegetables have been learned, the days of theweek, the parts of the body, and sentences describingsimple everyday life of the children.In cooking this group has had the same work asGroup VI reported last week. The kitchen is largeenough so that two groups can work together.Sewing has been the making of work-bags,- forwhich the design made in art work is intended.Two periods of forty minutes each, and a shortperiod of fifteen minutes each week are devoted tonumber work. The children are having rather formalwork in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,UNIVERSITY RECORD 221and fractions. This was deemed necessary at thebeginning of the year, as many of the children hadnot had sufficient practice to make it possible to takeup concrete problems. One of the first of the concrete problems given them was to estimate the totalamount of tuition received by the school.Their work in fractions began with the ruler usedin measuring in the shop. They were given J£, %,and % of a foot to add. They themselves discoveredthe method of reducing each to twelfths and thenadding. A similar method is to be used in addingfractions of a dollar and fractions of a pound.One hour a week is spent in studying the autumnhabits of insects. The children have found in thegarden insects in various methods of hibernation, andhave brought into the schoolroom cocoons of variouskinds. They have watched the spinning of the cocoonof the Isabella tiger moth, which is spun from thehair of the insect, and compared this method withthat of the silkworm and of those insects which forma cocoon from leaves.The rest of their work in science, i. e., four half-hourperiods a week is a continuation of physiographybegun last year. This is intended to give them ascientific view of the earth through man's relation toit, while their study of primitive life gives the socialside. They have had talks on the formation of theearth, and have examined granite and limestone rockto observe the structure. This incidentally showedthem the nature of the material used in making flintknives and spears. The part played by water innature was discussed, especially in its relation tosedimentary rocks. Work in determination of specificgravity of some stones was begun. Under this pointthe problem of the volume of water displaced byfloating and immersed bodies was worked out withblocks, whos& volumes could be easily determined.This brought in the use of the metric system andshowed its advantages.The cause of wave motion was explained and illustrated in a tub of water. Sand dunes, as an exampleof the effect of waves on a sandy shore were also discussed.In music, beside the usual drill in recognizing rhythmand definite notes, whether played, sung, or written,this group has composed a Thanksgiving song. Bothwords and music are the work of the class, with aminimum of suggestion by the teacher. The wordsof this song may be of interest to the readers of theRecord :" Hurrah for Thanksgiving and the football game !Hurrah for Hershy, who makes such a gain IWe'll shout and we 11 cheer for Chicago winners,And then go home for our Thanksgiving dinners." Art work so far has been a design for the center ofa work bag.In manual training the inkstands described in thework of a former group have been made. Other members of the group have made watch cases which involve the same principles, viz., use of chisel in cuttingbelow the surface, and the first principles of carvingaccording to a definite design. The compass andbracket-saw are used, and careful measurementsinsisted upon.Gymnasium work is taken in connection withGroup VI.This is the youngest group to which a study hourin school is assigned.
