Primarv Education 



For I90t-I902 



Some Phases of Art in the Primary Schools 



By Mr. Frank A. Parsons. "This course," sajs 

 the author, 'presents, as excuse for its existence, only 

 this: A wish to make more general the knowledgre of 

 wherein beauty lies; and in awakening a love for it, 

 by an acquaintance with its principles and Iheir ap- 

 plications to lead to a desire for the acquisition of 

 power to create and use the artistic for human enjoy- 

 ment and benefit." 



Seat Work 



Forthe first time Primary Education will give 

 a series of seat work lessons, beginning' in this issue. 

 It will be combined with stories and the necessary 

 illustrations will be given on the large monthly sup- 

 plement. This will afford an individual model for 

 each pupil of an ordinary sized class. 



A Series on *« What We Wear" 



The history of everything the children wear, from 

 a felt hat to a buckle ornament, will be told in a way 

 to capture and hold the interest. Besides, the series 

 will be illustrated with simple des riptive pictures 

 that any teacher can reproduce upon the blackboard. 



Literary Study for Busy Peop!e 



By Mrs. H. A. Davidson. This course, in the brief 

 outline that can be given here, will discuss the rela- 

 tion of literary study, that is, the intelligent reading 

 of the best books, to growth and culture.. 



Illustrations 



The pleasure and profit which the teachers have 

 derived from the skillful illustrations of Miss Olive 

 M. Lous' in the past will continue to be among the 

 good things to come. Pictures have their own work 

 to do in primary schools and Miss Long has helped us 

 to the best. 



Foreign Entertainments 



The entertainments consist of glimpses of life in 

 Puerto Rico, Cuba, Alaska, Hawaii and the Philip- 

 pines. Songs and exercises, to be given by the chil- 

 dren, descriptive of picturesque native scenes, cus- 

 toms, amusements, etc., are introduced with as much 

 "local color" as possible. 



In addition to these leading features, there will be 

 the usual variety of interesting and instructive mat- 

 ter upon all subjects pertaining to primary work. 



Price, $1.00 per year.
