OPENING The opening exercises of the School will be held on Thursday, July 7th, at 8 o'clock, p. m., the programme for which will consist of addresses, music, etc. LOCATION , The Summer School of Science of '97 meets at Yar- mouth. The best view of the town, harbour and surround- ings may be seen from the summit of Bay View Park (a private enterprise of Hon. L. E. Baker), which is situated on an elevated peninsula— almost an island— in the middle of Yarmouth Harbour. Two miles to the south surges the Atlantic Ocean, while half a mile west the Bay of — 6— ]?undy tumbles its waters upon a sandy bar and a rocky coast. Between these waters Cape Forchu, with its fog- alarm and lighthouse, pushes its rocky prongs warningly far out to sea. Northerly extends Chegoggin Marsh, of three hundred and twenty acres, originally a pond, con- cerning which, when the sea had been shut out by a dyke, the Indians in their wonder exclaimed, " What pale-face fill pond with mud ? " North-east and east, in full view, are Milton and Yarmouth, now grown into one incorpor- ated town. Prominent in the midst of many fine buildings, the Seminary, a fitting monitor of the situation, occupies a commanding site in the centre of the town. In the harbour there are a few islands near at hand, the largest of which is Bunker, and concerning which there are inter- esting stories of early settlement. Here we find the Marine Hospital, remains of old forts, and tumuli or French burying grounds. There is an admirable opportunity about the shores of Yarmouth Harbour for the practical study of the fascin- ating subject of marine erosions. Bay View presents illustrations of that subject, and still better Cape Forchu. The rocks of Yarmouth, though not fossiliferous, present many features of interest from a mineralogical, lithological and stratigraphical S'tandpoint. They show many varieties of metamorphism, and many minerals as the result of such metamorphism. Among them are mica, hornblende, staurolite, garnet and titanic ore, all'of which are readily obtainable, often in very interesting forms. The stratifi- cation, foldings and displacements are also admirably ex- hibited in the coast sections. Chegoggin Point and Cream Pots are remarkable both for their picturesque character and as illustrating the features of the gold-bearing Cam- — 7— brian series of Nova Scotia. Brazil Lake and Lake Annis abound in garnets and staurolites. Not far distant are Petite Passage and Digby Neck, concerning which Prof. Bailey has said, " Here the scenery is not equalled else- where upon the Atlantic seaboard, not even by Blomidon." On the shores of the harbour splendid specimens of marine plants and animals abound, and round about Sunday Point and Tusket Islands are many kinds of sea birds. From a botanical standpoint Yarmouth is well favoured. Everything that grows here at all grows well. The hawthorne hedges and grassy lawns are the- admira- tion of all who see them. Star-gazers will find that from the cupola of the Seminary the sea horizon presents an arc of one hundred and twenty degrees. Port Maitland and Tusket Lakes are the rendezvous of suburban lovers. At the former place there is a beach of hard sand, unexcelled by any in Nova Scotia, and from which the tide recedes a great distance, leaving a large in- viting area for a spin upon the wheel. Cyclists are loud in their praises of Yarmouth roads because there are no huge hills and very little sand. This is merely a sugges- tion to those who have wheels and desire to cover much ground in Yarmouth. It is proposed that whe*) the wea- ther permits, some of the classes meet in the shade of Bay View. Here the environment is of such varied loveliness that for this reason alone the session of '97 will doubtless linger pleasantly in the memories of all who may attend ; and the fact that the most cordial invitation of His Honor the Mayor and the Town Council has been extended to the Summer School of Science to meet at Yarmouth, bespeaks for all who accept the invitation a right royal welcome. -8— CLASS WORK, LECTURES, EXCURSIONS, ETC. The class instruction is given, for the most part, be- tween nine and three o'clock, leaving the remainder of the afternoons for field work, etc. A series of Round Table Talks will be held in the evenings. Lectures, and a Concert, will also be arranged for. These will be both instructive and entertaining. On Saturdays, excursions will be made to attractive localities — one to Tusket Islands amidst " scenery sub- lime," another to Tusket Lakes and Port Maitland. EXPENSES Each student is charged a registration fee of $2.50, to be paid to the Secretary-Treasurer when the student enrols. This registration fee entitles the student to admission to all the ordinary classes. An additional fee of $2.00 per subject will be charged for advanced classes, to be paid to the Instructor. <« BOARD AND LODGING Board can be secured for from $3.00 to $5.00 a week. To secure board at these rates, application must be made to the local Secretary, George H. Cain, Esq., Yarmouth, N. S., not later than June i. RATES OF TRAVEL Reduced rates will be given by all Steamship and Railway Lines, full particulars of which will be published in the Educational Review. Persons travelling by the Intercolonial Railway, the Dominion Atlantic Line, or the P. E. I. Steam Navigation \\ — 9— Company's Boats, must procure from the Agents, when purchasing their ticket, a Standard Certificate^ to entitle them to reduced rates. Arrangements have been made for trip from St. John, N. B., and return, by boat, for $2.50. Steamboats run weekly between Yarmouth and Boston, Mass., and it is anticipated that a very cheap rate can be arranged for. Any further information can be procured on application to the Secretary, J. D. Seaman, Charlotte- town, P. E. Island. ADVANCED CLASSES Provision is made for advanced work in the different subjects. To ensure the formation of advanced classes it is imperative that studc : send their names and subject to the Secretary n * later than May ist. In the past it has been found that students came to the School desiring advanced work, but not having given previous notification it was impracticable to undertake the work. For advanc- ed work there will be a charge of $;?.oo in addition to the registration fee. In the advanced courses. Instructors will give personal attention to students. The time will be two hours a day, work severe enough to demand all a student's attention for the two weeks of the School. CERTIFICATES Certficates, as implied by the Course of Study, will be awarded after a reasonably strict examination. It shall be the duty of the President and Secretary to conduct these examinations, associating with them in each depart- ment the Lecturer on that subject. For examination purposes, the work in each Natural ■10 — Science subject will be divided into three sections of equal value, as follows : (a) Prescribed text-book and lectures : (d) Practical and original work, such as dissect- ing, experimenting, etc., in the laboratory: (i). Collections, Mountings, Apparatus. The purpose of this arrangement is to lay the chief stress on rea/ knowledge of a practical character, rather than on knowledge derived chiefly from text-books. The lectures and demonstrations during the session of the School are intended especially to elucidate the facts and principles that are more or less obscure, and to exhibit the besi methods of teaching Elementary Science. NOTIFYING Intending students should notify the Secretary not later than June ist, of their intention to attend the School and the subjects they purpose studying. Attention to this would materially assist in organization, and enable the work to be begun in the several classes without any loss of time — an important consideration when the session of the School is so short. LABORATORY All laboratory work will be done by aid of the simplest equipments, such as are within the reach of the common schools of the Maritime Provinces. , , NOTES The Summer School of Science for the Atlantic Pro- vinces of Canada, enjoys the honorable distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Maritime Provinces. It will have this year an attractive location, on the Atlantic Coast, where the delightful sea-breezes have full play. — II — In the number and character of Instructors, in the variety of subjects, in the plan of work, in outside attrac- tions, the Summer School of Science offers strong induce- ments to students to attend. The School is not a Convention with a miscellaneous assortment of essays and addresses, but a School in the best sense of the term. The work is all carefully planned and systematically conducted. Students invariably say that much more and better work is done than is promised. ATTENDANCE The attendance at this School is made up of— Teachers who feel the need of professional quickening. Teachers without experience who wish to make avail- able the experience of others. Teachers of ability and experience who are anxious to meet and hear others of like or greater experience. Teachers who are to take up a new line of work, or who need to freshen themselves in some one branch of study. Young people who wish to use the vacation to improve themselves in some branch or branches of study. Specialists desiring to gain breadth and depth in one or two lines of work. Wide-awake teachers who desire and deserve promotion. i U I. iiiiiiiii -',* ■'■■ - 1^1 €otti*sc of (Stulig KOR THE ELEVENTH SESSION, 18©r ASTRONOMY In this subject no regular course is laid down, but should the weather be favourable, several evenings will be devoted to star-gazing, when Principal Cameron will give some elementary talks on the heavenly bodies then visible, and answer all reasonable questions which a desire for knowledge can suggest.

EXPRESSION VOCAL AND PHYSICAL CULTURE, READING The Physical exercises are arranged for the promotion of health and strengthj while they also develop an easy and dignified bearing, graceful carriage and the power in the body to express thought. The body is educated as the servant of the mind. — ^5— Vocal C«////r^.— Attention is given to proper placing of tone, to direction and quality of tone produced, and to correct diaphragmatic breathing. The voice is recognized as the most direct means for the expression of thought, and is educated on this basis. Reading.— 1:0 read well one must be able to so present the thought of the author that it will interest and benefit those to whom he reads. Attention is given to the clear and distinct presentation of the subject as a whole, from the standpoint of the author, to a literary analysis of that subject, to Articulation, Inflection, &c.,&c. The work is arranged that it may be of practical assistance to teachers of both higher and lower grades. (M. A. R.) Books used: Evolution of Expression, Vol. I., by Charles W.

In addition to the regular class work, private lessons will be given to individuals desiring them, or to classes of four or six. Terms, $1.00 an hour. (Sec.) ENGLISH LITERATURE The Class of '97 will read and talk over the following poems of Browning. I think (but am not sure) that they are all or nearly all contained in Rolfe's edition. Notes and queries from any who are studying these poems will be gladly received at any time if addressed to P, O. Box loi, Yarmouth, N. S. — 16- Home Thoughts from Abroad. Home Thoughts from the Sea. The Lost Leader. My Last Duchess. The Tomb in St. Praxed' s. Clive. Pip pa Passes. (A. C.) FIELD WORK The Class will accompany the Instructor to the fields, groves and shores, where they will engage in the general observation and study of natural phenomena, and of natural things — minerals, plants and animals. Studfents are requested to bring to the School any books they may have which might be helpful in these investigations. A good text-book in Botany — Spotton's, or Gray's larger text-book — will be especially useful. (J. B.) GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY I'his Course will be adapted to beginners, and none need be deterred from taking it through lack of previous preparation. The object will be to enable the student to determine common rocks and minerals. The following course will be followed : 1. Introduction and Definition. Elements and binary compounds used in rock-making. 2. Silicates, their composition and importance : basic and acidic components, etc. 3. How rocks are formed. Classification of Rocks. 4. Physical properties of minerals; color, lustre, hard- ness, specific gravity ; importance of these illustrated by specimens. 5. Ores, what they are and how they may be disting- uished by blow-p pe tests. 6. 7 & 8. Practical work in determining minerals. —17— Preparatory Work.— The student should study Crosby's ''Rocks and Minerals." He should familiarize himself with the use of the blow-pipe, and should make collections of the rocks and minerals of his neighborhood, one set for his own cabinet, and one for the Summer School, noting carefully the locality. Specimens should be neatly trimmed to the size of about 2x3 inches. Suggestions— Study Shaler's First Book in Geology ; or Dana's Geological Story briefly told. Observe carefully the action of water in the brooks in your neighborhood m wearing away earth in one place and building up in another. Collect, classify and name specimens found in your locality, such as sand, soils, shales, slates, sandstones, conglomerates, fossils, &c. Form small cabinets for the purpose of exchange. In the examination of physical and chemical properties of minerals, special attention will be given to color streak sp. gr., hardness ; and blow-pipe reactions, and the object aimed at will be the systematic determination of species by these tests. Crosby's Key to Mineralogy and J. R. Dana's Physical Mineralogy and description of Species will be used as text books. Students should provide themselves with apparatus for ascertaining the physical ana chemical properties of minerals. Apparatus.-Y^r hardno-ss.- File, piece of glass, pocket knife and copper coin. For Streak.— Piece of porcelain. . For Structure.— Pocket lens. For Chemical Tests.- Small bottle of hydrochloric acid, blow-pipe, lamp, forceps, 3 inches of platinum wire, — 18— I! M charcoal, a number of open and closed tubes of hard glass, three small bottles containing borax, soda and microcosmic salt, a small magnet. Crosby's Determinatis Mineralogy, send to Prof. Crosby, Technological Institute, Boston. (A. E.G.) KINDERGARTEN Of course, within the limited session of the Summer School of Science, no attempt can be made to train Kin- dergartners ; but kindergarten principles will be so fully explained and illustrated as to show how they may be successfully applied in the common schools. The knowledge imparted to the child does rot become faculty or power, nor can it be regarded as a permanent possession, until he has made some personal use of it; therefore spontaneous self-activity, as well as instruction, is an indispensable element in education. Suggestions will be given, showing how this self-activity may be aroused and strengthened so as to aid the child's mind in the assimilation of new knowledge. Nature strictly appeals to the child's sympathies, awakens his interest, and leads him not only to observe but to think. Illustrations will be given to show how it may serve also as a basis for reading, drawing and cultiva- tion of language, and in various other ways serve impor- tant educational purposes. Child-study for the teacher, and nature-study for the child are foundation principles in successful teaching. Special instructions will be given, if desired by any students, in Paper-folding, Paper-cutting, Clay-modelling, and other Kindergarten occupations. ^ S B P ^ —19— MUSIC (Tonic Sol-Fa Notation) ELEMENTARY CLASS Correct Methods of Breathing, and Hints on Voice Culture.

As far as possible the subjects will be treated experimentally so as to afford as much practice on psycho* logical observation as possible. Secondly, only those subjects, which are of most importance to the teacher, will be considered. Psychology at present can offer only ten- tative conclusions to the teacher who asks for psychological laws on which he may base his methods. Consequently two things only may be expected by the teacher from the study of Psychology — practice in psychological observa- tion and suggestions about methods. Perhaps the best books to consult are James' Psych- ology (Holt & Co. — a most suggestive but somewhat unsystematic book) ; Sully's Teachers' Handbook of Psychology (Longmans & Co. or Appleton, 5^., valuable for its applications of psychological principles to educa- tional problems); Lloyd Morgan's Psychology for Teach- ers (Arnold & Co., ^s, dd. — an interesting study by a biologist from the teacher's standpoint) ; Titchener's An Outline of Psychology (Macmillan& Co., $1.50— valuable for its suggestions about experiments, though it contains no educational references). Kirkpatrick's Inductive Psychology (50 cents — an introductory book, helpful to a beginner) ; Baldwin's Handbook of Psychology, 2 vols. (Macmillan or Holt & Co., 25^.^ — a convenient book for reference). V \ - - (W. CM.) —23— ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY Classes will be conducted by (a) Lectures, {l>) Labora- tory Work, (c) Field Work. (A) Zoology. — Its relation to other Natural Sciences. Protoplasm. Cells and cellular tissue — kinds and func- tions. Animal history. Functions of Animals in nature. Group structure compared with human structure. Unity in variety of Forms. How to study Animals. (B) Laboratory Work. — External and Internal Anat- omy. The dissection of typical forms — (i) a radiate, (2) a mollusk, (3) a fish, (4) an amphibian, (5) an arthropod, (6) a bird, (7) a mammal, (8) peculiar forms. — Study of alcoholic specimens. The Laboratory Work will include the Muscular, Nervous, Bony, Digestive, Circulatory and Respiratory Systems, and also Special Senses and Organs. (C) Classification of our native animals — their habits — their relation to the human welfare. (D) Entomology. — Instruction will also be given in Insect life. — their forms and structure — metamorphoses — modes of development-.— food — habits — habitats — in^ juriousness to fruits, etc., or usefulness in nature — classi- fication. How to collect and prepare specimens. (E) Students who may wish to learn how to preserve and stuff birds, etc., will be given a few elementary lessons. The instructor would like persons intending to become members of his class to keep a record as far as possible of observations made in garden, field, woods, etc., before attending the Summer School, and have the same reported in the class room along with observations made during Field Work while at Summer School. — 24 ., Apparatus. — Each member of the class should have a sharp pocket-knife, a magnifying lens, a pair of small scissors, and a pair of forceps or tweezers. (G. J. O.) Mr. W. A. Hickman will be associated with Mr. Oulton in Zoology and Entomology. Mr. Hickman has made a very special study of birds and will, in connection with the work of the class, give special attention to birds and insects. ^ (Sec.) \ I have ;mall •) jlton ide a with 5 and •) !«: ^ext gook0 Botany— Gray's How Plants Grow (new edition), 75c.
