Age of children, four to six.]The subject of transportation was developed byfinding the different ways the children could name ofgetting from place to place. Carriages, cable cars,elevated trains, and steam cars were mentioned, andfor what distances each would probably be chosen.They constructed a track with blocks- in their sandbox, made and named the different stations, andplayed conductors, trainmen, etc. We took up thedaugers attending cars and the methods of protectingthe people. They talked about signal houses, viaducts, and gates, and pictured them with chalk orpaper-cut models.We then discussed how letters are carried, and thisenabled the children to enlarge the area of transportation which they had worked out the week before. They wrote letters on sheets of paper whichthey had cut and folded, and put them in envelopeswhich they had made. Then the class resolved itselfinto a post-office department, collected the lettersfrom boxes on posts, carried them in mail wagonswhich they had made out of boxes, and sent them totheir destinations.With the Spring Quarter the subjects were relatedto flowers, birds, gardening, house-cleaning, etc. Theyhave made bird-houses with blocks, selected a placein the yard for a garden, and made a rake, hoe, spade,and wheelbarrow. In connection with this work theywere given their first lessons in carpentry. Most ofthe woodwork up to this time has been prepared forthem, and they have nailed it together. In the shopthey were given seed labels ready for planing andcleaning with sandpaper. They used the small planesmade for the school.The games played by the older children in theschool were taught from the constructive side. Marble bags were made and marbles played ; ropes weretwisted from the fiber and put on wooden handles forjumping ropes ; with button molds and meat skewersthey made tops which were decorated with colors according to their own fancy. They made bouncingballs, pin- wheels, and swings, and tried them in the yard.An idea of the different trades was given the children through the medium of house-cleaning. Theirown playhouse needed cleaning, and in deciding whatwould be needed to clean it properly, they thought ofpails,. brooms, and scrubbing brushes. The pails weremade of heavy manila paper, the scrubbing brush ofwood, with bristles of rope. A dust pan was made ofsoft tin, and the bristles of the broom of hair cloth.A duster was made of a meat skewer, feathers, andwire. They thought a stepladder would be necessaryto reach the high places, and pieces of wood cut to theright size were given them with which to construct one.A good deal of number work is introduced in connection with constructive work and cooking ; they getan idea of fractions, and use easily a quarter, a half,and three quarters of a cup in cookings or of a cubein playing with their blocks.... In the kitchen they have cooked rice and flaked rice,wheat and. flaked wheat, and learned the proportion- ofwater needed for each.52 UNIVERSITY RECORDOfficial Notices.At a meeting of the Board of University Affiliationsheld May 13, 1899, the Council Bluffs High Schoolwas accepted as a cooperating school.The University Council, at its meeting of May 13,1899, appointed Friday, June 9, 1899, as JuniorCollege Day, on which all Junior College exercisesare suspended.Calendar.MAY 19-27, 1899.Friday, May 19.Chapel-Assembly : Divinity School. — Chapel, CobbHall, 10:30 a.m.Division Lecture before Division VI of the JuniorColleges by the President, President's Office, Haskell, 10:30 a.m.Special Meeting of the University Congregation inCongregation Hall, Haskell 4:00 p.m.Physics Club meets in Ryerson Physical Laboratory,Room 32, 4:00 p.m.Subject of Discussion : " Dielectric Hysterisis ;" paperpresented by Fritz Reichmann.Saturday, May 20.Meetings of Faculties and Boards :The Administrative Board of The University Press,8:30 a.m.The Administrative Board for the Recommendationof Teachers, 8:30 a.m..The Administrative Board of Student Organizations, Publications, and Exhibitions, 10:00 a.m.The Faculty of the Ogden School of Science, 10:00A.M.The Faculty of the Divinity School, 11:30 a.m.Sunday, May 21.Student Conferences on Religion, Kent Theater,4: 00 p.m.Subject: "What was the Religion of Jesus?"
