During the months of April, May, and June, there shall be no school
in the afternoon, but the morning classes will last one hour longer,
ending at eleven instead of ten.
Of the progress of education
Art. 10. In the morning at the hour assigned by the parish priest
supervisor, the teachers, both for boys and girls, shall assemble
with their pupils in the church and shall hear mass, during which
they shall recite a part of the rosary. After the conclusion of mass,
boys and girls shall go out separately, formed in two rows headed by
their teachers and with the cross in front shall walk through various
streets, whenever they may do so, to their respective schools. At
seven, the children shall enter their class, salute the teacher,
form into two ranks, and the teacher shall inspect the cleanliness of
their bodies and clothing. Then they shall kneel down with their faces
toward the front of the hall, and shall make the sign of the cross
while repeating the prayers which the master shall say slowly. These
prayers, as well as those which shall be said at the end of class,
shall be those prescribed by the bishop of the diocese. The roll shall
be called; the class in writing shall last until eight o'clock; the
class in reading until nine; the grammar class until ten; prayers,
as at entrance, and salutation; departure from the school whence they
shall go to the church to leave the cross in the same manner as they
took it. In the afternoon, the children shall also assemble at the
church, and shall do the same as in the morning until reaching the
school. At half-past two they shall enter, salute, have inspection of
cleanliness, prayers, and roll call as in the morning; arithmetic class
until half-past three, lessons in doctrine, ethics, and sacred history
until half-past four; and what time is left they shall alternate day
by day with rules of deportment, principles of geography and history,
and principles of agriculture, until five. At the latter hour they
shall leave the school, taking the cross back to the church, whence
the children shall retire to their homes.
Sunday afternoon shall be exclusively employed in a general review of
doctrine, ethics, and sacred history, lessons in vocal music, and in
reciting a portion of the rosary, until the hour when the salve and
the litanies are sung in the church, at which they shall be present
accompanied by their teachers.
On Sundays and feast days marked with two or three crosses the children
shall go to hear mass headed by their teacher, and then shall go to
visit the regular or secular parish priest. Conferences in regard to
Christian doctrine and ethics shall be at the hour that the latter
prescribes. [50]
Every three months, on the day prescribed by the parish priest, the
teacher shall take the children, who are ready for it, to confess
and receive communion.
