lined by Professor Paul H. Hanus and that in physics by Professor Edwin H. Hall, both of Harvard University. The instruction is limited to such simple elementary principles as may be readily apprehended by the young, and the methods of study are largely objective and experimental. In the primary schools there are 5087 pupils and 116 teachers. They are under the immediate supervision of a Special Teacher of Primary Schools, whose work is directed by the superintendent of schools. Miss Lelia A. Mirick, now Mrs. Frederick S. Cutter, was the first to hold this position, which was created in 1892. She was succeeded in 1895 by Miss Mary A. Lewis. The course of study is for three years. Of the 1159 pupils graduated in June, 1894, ten per cent. completed this course in less than three years, fifty-eight per cent. in three years, and thirty-two per cent. in more than three years. Regular instruction in botany has recently been introduced; also the Ling system of Swedish gymnastics.
