_Class II._ (Two hours.) Botany: Sorensen's text. From "The Sunflower
Family" to "Plant Structure." Plant analysis. Zoology: Sorensen's text.
"Invertebrates." Review from treatise on insects to close of book.
_Class III._ (Two hours.) Zoology and botany reviewed. Plant analysis.
Henrichsen's Physics. From beginning to "Properties of Air."
_Class IV._ (Three hours.) Henrichsen's Physics studied through and
reviewed with related laboratory work. Knudsen and Falch's The Human
Body I studied and reviewed.
The plan of work, as noted, includes botany, zoology, physics, and human
physiology. Each subject is taken up and pursued in a consistent manner.
In botany plant analysis and structure form the important part of the
work. A herbarium is made by each pupil. The study is brought very
definitely into the daily lives of the children with the intent of
opening their eyes to the conditions in nature about them and of
developing in them an appreciation of the almost unlimited provision
made for man's welfare. Zoology and physiology are treated in a similar
way. They are calculated to enrich the life of the individual by
bringing him into more sympathetic relations with all living forms. In
physics the child does some experimental work and thereby gets first
hand experience to accompany, clarify, and assist in evaluating the
elaborated instruction of the teacher regarding forces, phenomena, and
laws.
It was interesting to note in a recitation chiefly devoted to
experimental work that the language used in conversation was carefully
scrutinized and that errors were corrected. Throughout the curriculum a
very definite effort is made to utilize every phase of information
possessed by the pupils.
