The pupils prepared for Eastern colleges by this school have always taken a high stand in such schools as Princeton, Michigan University, etc., and some of the most successful teachers in the mission schools of this Territory are graduates of this school. <br> There is connected with the school and under the same management, a first-class boarding department. This department is under the supervision of an experienced matron of high Christian character, and parents will here find a well organized family of teachers and pupils, furnishing a home for their sons and daughters where their education, manners, and deportment will be kindly yet firmly cared for. <br> The school for thoroughness of instruction and wholesome discipline, has won for itself a reputation that is unsurpassed in the Territory. <br> THE HIGH SCHOOL. <br> The total enrollment in the High School for the year 1883-4 was 51. <br> In many respects the past year has been the most successful in the history of this department of the school. A full corps of teachers has made it possible to enlarge the course of study, without enforcing the necessity, through want of time, of giving inadequate attention to any branch. The enforcement of a close adherence, on the part of pupils, to a definite line of study, and at the same time a refusal to permit any pupil to attempt too much, have prevented much waste of time and indefiniteness of results. Yet a sufficient latitude in choice of studies has been permitted to meet the requirements of special cases. <br> A wholesome discipline has been and will be maintained; the aim being constantly to beget and cultivate in pupils that habit of self-control which is the basis of true character. <br> BOOKS AND APPARATUS. <br> The new apparatus, provided by the board, for the demonstration of the principles of Natural Philosophy has proved very satisfactory, and has payed [sic] for itself already in the increased interest in the study and clearer comprehension of that important branch of science. <br> The addition of cyclopedias and other reference books to our library, materially increased the facilities for doing good work. <br> At the close of the year, three young ladies, who had passed through the entire course with great credit, were graduated from the school, and awarded the accustomed testimonials. A much larger class expects to complete the course next year. <br> COURSE OF STUDY. <br> The courses of study which have been adopted for this department are two: the General and the Classical. They follow naturally the completed work of the Grammar School, and each requires four years for its completion. The General course is intended to fit the student for teaching, to provide him or her with an educational equipment which will secure for him a respectable standing in any intellectual community, or constitute the basis of a more advanced course of study. It offers a choice between the Latin and German languages; or, if both of them be taken, the student will be prepared for admission to the "Latin" course in Colleges. The Classical course is parallel with the General during the first two years, but in the third and fourth years Greek is substituted for some of the sciences. This course is preparatory to the Classical course in college. <br> THE GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT. <br> is a two-years' course. In this department the pupils are thoroughly drilled in Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography, Reading, Drawing, Penmanship and Spelling, together with systematic training in composition and recitation. Students passing through the Grammar School and through the first two years of the High School receive a good commercial education, fitting them to enter upon the ordinary duties of business life. <br> THE INTERMEDIATE AND PRIMARY DEPARTMENTS, <br> which lay the ground-work for the future progress of the student, are both under charge of competent teachers, and have complete and well graded courses of the studies usually taught in those grades. <br> KINDERGARTEN. <br> The School Board are now negotiating for the purchase of a commodious building in which to open up this important branch of school work. An experienced teacher from the East has been engaged to take charge of it. <br> MUSIC. <br> Instruction in vocal music is given to all students free of charge. Instruction on piano and guitar is given at reasonable rates. A thoroughly competent teacher has charge of this department. <br> Any enquiries in regard to the school, terms, etc., should be addressed to Professors Millspaugh or Boyle, Salt Lake City, Utah.* <br><br><br> * the last sentence under the heading Music is italicized. <br><br> |
