are given, and students are encouraged to become investigators and to construc't
their own instruments and illustrations. Some valuable instruments
are used to illustrate the subjects of Gases, Light and Heat.
Some attention is given to Meteorology, and the class is taught to read
the anemometet · , hygrometer, barometer, rain guages, and thermomcters,
most of which are selt~ registeringand similar to those in the Kew Observatory,
England.
3. CHEMISTRy.- Besides the regular instruction in the theory, all students
in this subject are required to practice experiments three hours weekly
in the Labratory under the immediate supervision of the instructor. Tables
arc fitted for the purpose and supplied with suitable apparatus. Conversational
lectures are given on the applications of Chemistry to agdculture, domestic
economy and manufactures. The use of the blow- pipe as a " educing

Language.
I. ENGLIsH.- The aim of this department is practical, and in stdct
keeping with the spirit of the Academy. It is now possible to make the
study of English both interesting and in a high degree disciplinary.
The lower classes study Syntax as applied in Analysis and Parsing and
ill Swinton's Rhetoric. When the advanced class finishes Kellogg's
Rhetoric, then follows English Literature, including the critical study
of Master- pieces. The following subjects and authors are read by the several
classes: Shakespear's Julius C;. esal" Johnson's Rasselas, Pope's Essay
on Man, Irving's Sketch Book, Hawthorne's Gmndfather's Chair, Todd's

In Elocution and Declamation each student receives private instruction
and cdticism calculated to render him skillful in manner, action and gesture.
Improvement in this department is stimulated by valuable prizes,
The students also ably maintain "' eekly meetings for practice in debate,
extempore speaking, declamation, essay writing and parliamentary niles.
Lectures are occasionally delivered by representative men in science and
literature.
