Problems are worked both synthetically and analytically.

Be- sides the regular instruction, which is given six hours a week, some time is devoted to gymnastic games such as basket ball, hand ball, and the like. At least two hours of regular gymnasium work is required of all students taking work in the Academy and the first year of the college. The gymnasium is also open to all students in the upper classes who desire exercise in order to build up their general health. I f a 1 JOHNSON. Show less
