MORAL  AND  RELIGIOUS 

We  live  in  a  land  whose  boast  it  is,  that  her  founders  feared  God  and  reverenced 
His  Word,  and  we  justly  attribute  her  superiority  over  the  darker  countries  of  the 
earth  to  the  grand  truths  and  noble  precepts  of  Christianity.  Very  justly,  too,  do  we 
rely  upon  our  faith  and  practice  as  a  Christian  people  for  the  perpetuation  of  our  free 
institutions.  If,  then,  we  owe  so  much  to  the  Christian  religion  for  what  we  are,  and 
depend  so  much  upon  it  for  what  we  hope  to  be,  how  important  it  is,  that  all  our 
youth  should  be  nurtured  under  its  influences.  We  do  not  mean  sectarianism  when 
we  speak  of  religious  training,  and  the  German-English  College,  though  under  the 
control  of  German  Methodists,  does  not  aim  to  teach  the  particular  doctrines  of  Meth- 
odism except  in  the  Theological  Course.  Its  aim,  howe\er,  is,  by  precept  and  ex- 
ample, to  teach  the  religion  of  the  Bible,  to  which  no  reasonable  man  of  whate\er  be- 
lief can  object. 

Each  day's  work  is  opened  with  appropriate  religious  exercises,  which  all  the  stu- 
dents attend.  On  Sabbath  the  students  are  expected  to  attend  public  worship  at  such 
churches  as  they  or  their  guardians  may  select,  and  to  be  uniform  in  their  attendance. 
The  College  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  has  its  regular  meetings  Sabbath 
afternoons,  and  the  Young  Women's  Christian  Association  at  an  appropriate  time  dur- 
ing the  week.  A  majority  of  the  young  men  and  women  belong  to  these  Societies  re- 
spectively, and  take  a  deep  interest  in  the  meetings,  which  are  devoted  t«i  prayer, 
Bible-study,  and  other  exercises.  The  Societies  are  under  the  control  of  the  students, 
but  members  of  the  Faculty  attend  regularly  and  help  to  make  the  meetings  interest- 
ing and  profitable. 

In  conformity  with  the  practice  of  other  institutions  of  similar  grades,  the  College 
keeps  the  "Day  of  Prayer  for  Colleges"  by  appropriate  services. 


DISCIPLINE. 

We  take  for  granted  that  all  students  enter  with  the  intention  of  devoting  their 
time  to  hard  study  Our  regulations,  which  are  few,  are  such  as  will  aid  them  in 
effecting  their  purpose.  ' 

Control  is  exercised  with  mildness,  yet  with  firmness  and  decision.  It  is  our  aim 
to  instill  principles  of  right  conduct  and  self-government,  and  rely  upon  the  honor  of 
the  students.  Yet,  though  we  endeavor  to  exercise  that  judicious  supervision  that  will 
develop  the  better  nature  of  the  student,  we  cannot  be  held  i-esponsible  if  reckless  per- 
sons seek  like  companions  and  are  led  into  bad  habits.  Neither  can  those  who  are 
guilty  of  improper  conduct,  and  exert  a  detrimental,  influence  expect  to  be  retained  to 
the  injury  of  others. 

As  it  interferes  with  the  work  of  students  generally,  no  association  of  ladies  and 
gentlemen  is  allowed  out  of  school  hours,  except  on  special  occasions,  and  then  only 
by  express  permission  of  the  President.  The  use  of  profane  language,  tobacco,  and  in-, 
toxicating  liquors,  visiting  billiard  or  drinking  saloons,  playing  cards,  and  disorderly 
conduct  in  or  about  the  building,  are  strictly  forbidden.  Study  hours  must  be  ob- 
served with  systematic  regularity,  and  students  are  subject  to  an  account  of  how  they 
spend  their  evenings. 


GERMAN-ENGLISH  COLLEGE. 


ENTRANCE. 

All  students  filtering  the  College  directly  from  other  schools  will  be  required  to 
furnish  evidence  of  good  conduct. 

All  students  should  be  present  on  the  first  day  of  each  term,  as  the  loss  of  a  few 
da\s  only,  often  makes  it  necessary  to  assign  the  applicant  to  a  lower  grade  than  he 
would  have  been  assigned,  had  he  been  present  at  the  beginning.  Although  we  make 
an  eflort  to  accommodate  students  at  any  time  t)f  the  year,  it  must  be  apparent  that 
those  who  enter  later  are  at  a  disadvantage,  if  they  are  put  into  classes  that  have  been 
thoroughly  drilled  on  the  "fundamentals"  of  any  branch  for  a  week  or  more.  To  ac- 
commodate those  who  cannot  come  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  a  few  new  classes  in 
the  General  Preparatory  and  the  First  Year's  Normal  and  .\cademic  Courses  will  be 
organized  on  the  first  Tuesday  of  November  and  at  the  beginning  of  the  Winter  Term. 

CERTIFICATES,  DIPLOMAS,  AND  DEGREES. 

Certificates,  showing  the  attendance  and  scholarship  for  the  term,  are  issued  to 
the  students  at  the  close  of  each  term.  A  diploma  will  be  awarded  to  anyone  who  has 
acquired  a  standing  of  eighty-five  per  cent,  by  written  examination,  in  all  the  studies 
of  either  the  Normal,  the  Academic,  the  Theological,  or  the  Commercial  Course.  The 
Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  will  be  conferred  upon  those  who  satisfactorily  complete 
the  Classical  Course;  and  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science,  upon  those  who,  in  like 
manner,  complete  the  Scientific  Course.  The  Degree  of  Master  of  Arts  may  be  con- 
ferred in  fiirsii  upon  every  Bachelor  of  Arts  of  three  or  more  gears'  standing,  who  has 
since  graduation  been  engaged  in  some  literary  occupation. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES. 

Three  Literary  Societies  are  connected  with  the  institution — The  Teutonia.  The 
Washingtonian,  and  The  Willard.  The  first  is  for  gentlemen,  and  offers  the  neces- 
sary and  desirable  practice  in  the  German  language;  the  second  is  also  for  gentlemen, 
and  affords  the  same  advantages  in  English;  and  the  third,  also  English,  is  for  ladies. 
They  are  held  in  the  most  suitable  rooms  of  <he  College  building,  on  Fridays,  immedi- 
ateh-  after  school.  Good  work  was  done  by  those  who  attended  regularly.  Those 
who  do  not  join  the  Societies  will  be  obliged  to  do  literary  work  before  the  Faculty  reg- 
ularly, unless  excused  for  a  special  reason.  Each  Society  has  a  library,  of  which  all 
ha\e  free  use. 

GENERAL  AND  LOAN  LIBRARIES. 

Students  ha\e  access  to  the  general  libraries  containing  valuable  English  and  Ger 
man  reference  books.  The  Text-Book  Loan  Library  enables  the  renting  of  books  to 
students,  thereby  saving  them  a  considerable  amount  annually.  Every  student  who 
desires  to  rent  books  will  be  rec^uijed  to  deposit  $5.00  with  the  Librarian  to  insure  the 
institution  in  case  of  loss.  '  When  he  leaves  and  returns  his  books,  rent,  at  the  rate  of 
five  cents  per  week,  will  be  deducted  from  the  deposit,  and  the  remainder  returned. 
The  special  books  for  commercial  work  are  not  rented.  Students  are  ad\ised  to  bring 
text-books  which  they  have  for  purposes  ot  reference. 


CABINET. 

Owing  to  the  kindness  of  ex-students  and  other  friends,  we  have  a  collection  of 
Anatomical,  Zoological,  and  Creological  specimens,  the  latter  of  which  were  recently 
increased  b)-  one  hundred  and  fift}-  labeled  rocks  and  fossils.  Additions  are  alwa_\-s 
gratefull}-  received. 


GALENA,   ILLINOIS. 


ADDRESSES,  PUBLIC  MEETINGS,  ETC. 

It  is  the  design  ol'  the  t'olletje  to  gi\e  a  broader  culture  than  that  obtained  in  the 
class  room,  and  from  the  text-book.  To  secure  this  result  it  is  the  custom  to  have 
public  addresses  or  lectures  f^i\-en  at  intervals  during  each  year.  During  the  present 
year  four  such  have  been  delivered.  The  first  by  the  Rev.  John  Williamson,  D,  D,, 
Chicago,  Illinois,  on  "Life's  Crises,"  The  second  by  Judge  W.  Spensley,  "How  Our 
Laws  Are  Made."  The  third  by  the  Rev,  C,  E,  Morse,  "Elements  of  Success, "  The 
fourth  by  Hon.  Jas.  Shaw,  Mt.  Carroll,  Illinois,  "The  Ownership  of  the  Childhood  of 
the  State. 

For  the  same  general  purpose,  a  series  of  four  special  Class  Exercises  was  given 
before  the  students.  These  were  by  members  of  the  classes  in  United  States  History, 
Physiolcjg}-,  Physics,  and  Geology,  who  presented  essays  on  special  lines  of  study. 

In  addition  to  these  a  series  of  "Chapel  Talks"  on  various  practical  phases  of  the 
conduct  of  life,  was  given  by  the  President, 

The  Literary  Societies  also  hold  Special  Public  Meetings  during  the  \ear.  Four 
such  literary  entertainments  were  gi\en  this  }ear. 

At  various  times  during  the  year  the  Christian  organi;sations  are  accustomed  to 
give  special  Missicm  Meetings,  with  songs  and  addi-esses  by  the  members. 


EXPENSES.

Matriculation 50 

Instruction  on  I'iano  or  Organ,  each,   per  term  of   20  lessons S,oo

Conferring  of  a  Degree 5.00

f^Susiness    Practice 2,2s 


BOARD. 

There  is  no  lack  of  good  boarding  places  in  the  city.  Many  good  families  are  de- 
sirous of  student  boarders,  at  rates  ranging  from  $2,25  to  $2,75  per  week.  Rooms 
can  also  be  obtained  by  those  who  desire  to  board  themselves.  It  is  thus  evident  that 
the  economical  student  can  keep  his  total  necessary  expenses  at  about  S3. 00  per  week. 


PARENTS  AND  GUARDIANS 

May,  if  they   desire,  deposit  funds  with  the  President,  or  any  of  the  teachers,    for 
the  expenses  of  their  children.      This  is  especially  desirable  in  the  case  of  minors. 


GERMAN-ENGLISH  COLLEGE, 


(goUf^SES  OP  S^UDY. 


In  the  selection  and  arrangement  of  the  studies  in  the  following  courses, -the  ac- 
tual needs  of  students  have  been  considered,  and  it  is  believed  that  they  contain  the 
outline  of  such  work  as  will  enable  the  earnest  student  to  prepare  himself  for  a  use- 
ful life. 

The  General  Preparatory  Course  has  been  arranged  with  special  reference  to  those 
whose  advantages,  in  common  schools  even,  have  been  very  limited.  An  examination 
of  the  course  will  show  that  it  is  not  a  primary  department  for  children;  but  a  course 
for  those  who  have  (utti:[ro':(>ii  the  public  schools,  and  are  awakened  to  the  fact  that 
they  are  not  properly  equipped  for  this  advanced  age.  However,  the  student  is  not  re- 
quired to  take  all  the  studies  of  this  course,  if  he  is  deficient  in  only  one  branch;  but 
he  is  allowed,  in  addition,  to  enter   such   advanced  classes  as  his  qualifications  permit. 

The  Normal  Course  compares  favorably  with  similar  courses  of  other  schools.  We 
call  special  attention  to  the  Elementary  Course,  which,  it  will  be  seen,  contains  all  the 
branches  required  for  a  second  or  a  third-grade  certificate.  What  is  said  on  "Normal 
Work"  will  be  found  under  "Outline  of  Work." 

The  Academic  Course  is  designed  for  students  who  are  to  go  out  into  practical  pur- 
suits. Yet,  upon  an  examination  of  its  scope  of  studies,  it  will  be  seen  that  it  lays  a 
foundation  for  a  truly  liberal  education.  The  numbers  pursuing  this  course  show  a 
marked  increase  this  year. 

The  Commercial  Course  is  arranged  and  conducted  according  to  the  plan  of  the  best 
business  colleges.  It  is  properly  graded,  comprising  a  great  variety  of  sets,  finall}' 
followed  by  a  special  set  in  Business  Practice.  Class  e.xercises  and  individual  work, 
supplementing  each  other,  make  the  course  thorough.  Extensive  drill  is  given  in  all 
kinds  of  Commercial  Papers.  Students,  however,  should  not  enter  this  course  until 
they  are  able  to  compute  interest  and  discount. 

The  Theological  Course  is  designed  for  those  who  intend  to  enter  the  German  min- 
istry; hence  the  recitations  are  conducted  in  German.  This  course  is  now  settled,  and 
being  pursued  by  a  comparatively  large  number.  Those  who  pursue  it  have  the  priv- 
ilege of  taking  any  other  studies  of  the  College  which  their  time  and  grade  will  permit. 
Thus,  we  believe,  such  preparation  can  be  given  as  is  demanded  for  a  minister  by  the 
times  in  which  we  live. 

The  Classical  and  Scientific  Courses  are  intended  to  meet  the  wants  of  the  great 
mass  of  American  youth.  It  is  to  be  desired  that  a  large  number  will  pursue  one  of 
these  regular  courses. 

A  more  comprehensive  description  of  the  work  done  in  these  courses  is  gi\-en  in 
the  "Outline  of  Work." 


GALENA,   ILLINOIS. 


OUJTLINE    OF    QJor^I^. 


We  wish  here  to  correct  any  possible  false  local  impression  that  the  College  i?;  pre- 
ponderantly German  in  its  courses.  While  few  institutions  have  better  facilities  for 
teaching  the  German  language  and  literature,  and  while  we  are  constantly  and  ener- 
getically developing  the  German  work,  still,  none  the  less  are  our  Normal  and  Aca- 
demic courses  fitted  for  all  who  desire  an  English  education.  That  our  patrons  may 
the  better  understand  what  is  done  in  the  institution,  we  give  a  brief  outline  of  the 
work  in  different  branches.  

I.  ENGLISH. 

1.  Reading,  Spelling,  and  Orthography. — Special  attention  is  given  to  these  in  the 
preparatory  work.  For  spelling  Reed's  "Word  Lessons"  is  used.  For  reading,  Ap- 
pleton's  Readers  during  the  Fall  Term.  With  the  design  of  securing  better  lessons 
for  practice,  and,  at  the  same  time,  of  stimulating  a  love  for  the  best  literature,  these 
readers  ai'e,  for  the  remainder  of  the  year,  replaced  by  Irving's  "Sketch  Book," 
Shakespeare's  "Merchant  of  Venice,"  Hawthorne's  "Biographical  Stories,"  Longfel- 
low's "Evangeline,  "  and  "fennyson's  "Enoch  Arden." 

2.  English  Grammar. — There  are  classes  of  two  grades.  First,  for  those  who  have 
never  studied  grammar,  a  class  using  Reed  and  Kellogg's  "Graded  Lessons."  Second, 
a  class  of  more  mature  students  whose  work  is  more  analytical  and  scientific.  In  this 
class  Reed  and  Kellogg's  "Higher  Lessoiis  in  English  "  is  used.  In  both  classes  com- 
position work  accompanies  class  work. 

3.  Rhetoric — The  science  of  Rhetoric,  accompanied  with  many  practical  exer- 
cises, continues  through  the  Fall  and  Winter  Terms. 

4.  Rhetorical  Analysis  and  Criticism. — During  the  Spring  Term  the  work  of  Rhet- 
oric is  concluded  by  a  rhetorical  analysis  and  criticism  of  selections  from  various  au- 
thors.    Compositions  are  written  and  criticised  by  the  class. 

5.  English  Literature. — This  also  continues  through  the  Fall  and  Winter  Terms. 
It  is  designed  to  teach  the  history  of  English  Literature,  to  lead  students  to  an  ac- 
quaintanceship with  the  thought  and  life  of  our  great  writers,  and  to  inspire  a  love 
for  the  thorough  reading  of  good  literature.  A  critical  reading  of  the  "Prologue  to 
the  Canterbury  Tales,"  the  First  Book  of  the  "Fairy  Queen,"  "Hamlet,"  and  "Mer- 
chant of  Venice,"  five  of  "Bacon's  Essays,"  two  books  of  "Paradise  Lost, "  Macauley's 

"Warren  Hastings,"  Goldsmith's  "Traveler,"  and  selections  from   Carlysle,   Tenny- 
son, etc.,  constitutes  the  body  of  the  work. 

6.  American  Literature. — This  work  is  during  the  Spring  Term,  and  follows  the 
same  plan  as  that  in  English  Literature.  A  study  of  Irving,  Longfellow,  Whittier. 
Lowell,  Holmes,  Bryant,  Emerson,  etc.,  is  made. 

II.  GERMAN. 

1.  Reading,  One  Year. — This  course  is  designed  for  German  students  who  need  in- 
struction in  pronunciation,  and  general  elocutionary  drill.  As  a  text-book  "Bone" 
will  be  used  part  of  the  year;  and  German  classics:  as,  "Hermann  und  Dorothea," 
"Maria  Stuart,  '  the  remainder.      Spelling  is  taught  in  connection  with  the  reading. 

2.  Language  Lessons,  One  Year. — The  work  is  designed  to  make  the  student  prac- 
tically familiar  with  the  language.  For  this  purpose  many  exercises  in  composition 
iire  required. 


GERISIAN-KNGLISH   COLLEGE 


3.  Advanced  Grammar,  One  Year. — This  is  a  continuation  of  Course  2;  but  takes  up 
the  study  of  inflections  more  thorouj,'hl}-.  Anal\sis  and  diaf,'raming  after  the  most  ap- 
proved modern  methods  are  a  prominent  feature. 

4.  German  Literature. — The  stud)-  of  the  history  of  German  Literature  and  read- 
ings from  the  authors  of  the  different  epochs  accompan}-  each  other.  In  this  way  the 
character  of  the  literature  and  of  the  epoch  is  the  better  learned,  and  an  ability  in  crit- 
ical reading  and  accurate  judgment  of  literature  is  developed.  Works  of  Goethe, 
Schiller,  Herder,  Lessing,  Klopstock:  the  "Niebulungenlied,"  etc.,  are  read. 

5.  Rtietoric. — It  is  designed  to  combine  theory,  practical  directions,  and  exercises. 
Compositions  are  written  and  criticised.  The  I'rofessor  furnishes  the  text  from  manu- 
script. 

The  abo\'e  courses  are  all  designed  for  German  students. 

6.  Beginning  English-German. — This  course  is  for  English  speaking  students.  The 
"Natural"  and  the  "Scientific"  methods  are  combined.  Conversations,  reading,  and 
the  rudiments  of  Grammar  constitute  the  work.  Much  attention  is  also  given  to  cog- 
nate words  and  forms  of  the  English  and  German.  Part  I.  of  Ruetenik's  Grammar, 
and  Stern's  "Studien  und  Plaudereien"  are  used. 

7.  Advanced  English-German. — This  is  a  continuation  of  Course  6.  Much  atten- 
tion is  given  to  constructions  and  German  idioms.  The  aim  is  to  conduct  the  work 
wholly  in  German. 

Careful  investigation,  we  believe,  will  show  that  our  work  in  this  department  is 
superior  both  in  practicabilit\  and  efficienc}'. 


III.  LATIN. 

1.  Beginning  Latin. — Fall  and  Winter  Terms..  The  books  used  are  Harkness" 
Grammar  and  Jones"  "Lessons."  Latin  composition  is  begun  and  continues  through- 
out the  first  three  years.     During  the  Spring  Term  the  class  reads  Cfesar. 

2.  Classics. — The  reading  of  Caesar  (four  Books),  followed  by  Cicero,  (four  Ora- 
tions), constitutes  the  work.  A  main  object  kept  in  view  during  this  year's  work  is  to 
secure  facility  in  translation,  and  an  acquaintance  with  Roman  military  and  political 
life.      For  the  order  of  taking  up  the  other  authors  we  refer  to  the  higher  courses. 

IV.  GREEK. 

The  work  at  present  in  Greek  is  designed  to  give  the  Theological  students  a  suf- 
ficient start  to  enable  them  to  read  the  New  Testament  in  the  original.  The  first  two- 
thirds  of  the  year  ai'e  devoted  to  the  Grammar  and  translation  from  the  mother 
tongue  into  Greek,  and  vice  versa.  The  last  one-third  of  the  year  is  given  to  the  read- 
ing of  the  New  Testament.  

V.  HISTORY. 

In  keeping  with  the  importance  of  history  in  education,  the  College  gives  three- 
years  to  it. 

1.  United  States  History. — To  this  is  given  a  whole  year.  There  are  two  classes; 
one  following  the  other.  The  first  closes  and  the  second  begins  at  the  middle  of  the 
Winter  Term.  The  second  class  accommodates  those,  who,  for  any  reason,  could  not 
take  the  work  the  first  part  of  the  year.  An  especial  effort  is  made  to  secure  independ- 
ent effort  and  free  thought  on  the  part  of  the  student,  by  a  study  of  various  principles 
and  customs  through  the  different  periods  of  our  history.  This  end  is  also  i^eached  by 
sending  the  student  to  books  of  reference  for  further  studv. 


GALENA,   ILLINOIS. 


2.  Ancient  History. — To  this  also  one  year  is  given.  This  course  is'a  history  both 
ot  the  ancient  nations  and  of  their  civilizations.  The  facilities  for  teaching  this  branch 
have  recently  been  improved  by  the  purchase  of  an  excellent  set  of  historical  and  geo- 
graphical maps. 

3.  Medieval   History. — This  course  continues  twenty  weeks. 

4.  Modem  History. — The  time  devoted  will  vary  in  different  years.  Special  study 
will  be  made  of  some  of  the  most  important  periods,  in  addition  to  the  work  of  the 
text-book. 

The  entire  subject  of  General  History,  as  well  as  Church  Histor}'  and  Sacred 
History,  is  also  tauglit  in  German. 


VI.  NORMAL  WORK. 

It  is  the  aim  in  this  department  to  teach  both  principles  and  their  application  to 
school-room  work.      The  courses  are  as  follows: 

1.  School  Management. — A  course  in  the  appliances,  organization,  and  manage- 
ment of  the  school. 

2.  Methods. — Attention  is  given  to  both  primary  and  advanced  work.  The  es- 
pecial difficulties  to  the  teacher  are  treated.  The  class  has  actual  practice  in  con- 
ducting lessons. 

3.  Pedagogy. — A  course  in  the  principles  underlying  all  mental  development,  and 
an  analysis  of  various  studies.  •

which  members  of  the  class  come: 

5.  History  of  Education. — This  is  highly  important  to  every  teacher.  It  is  hoped 
that  g(iodl\'  numbers  will  hereafter  call  for  this  branch. 


VII.  MATHEMATICS. 

1.  Arithmetic. — A  class  in  Practical  Arithmetic  beginning  at  the  Four  Funda- 
mental Operations,  and  continuing  throughout  the  year.  Another  class  begins  in  No- 
vember and  continues  about  five  months. 

2.  Advanced  Arithmetic. — The  first  term  is  given  to  a  review  of  Fractions  and  De- 
nominate Numbers;  the  second,  to  Percentage;  and  the  third,  to  Involution,  Evolution 
and  Mensuration.     Original  problems  are  a  prominent  feature  of  the  work. 

3.  Algebra. — A  class  continuing  through  the  Fall  and  Winter  Terms,  finishing  the 
text  of  Thomson.  A  beginning  class  in  the  same  book  is  fi-equently  formed  in  the 
middle  of  the  year. 

4.  Advanced  Algebra. — The  class  begins  in  September  and  continues  twenty-two 
weeks.      Much  attention  is  given  to  the  demonstration  of  theorems. 

5.  Geometry. — A  beginning  class  in  Plane  Geometi-y  continuing  during  the  Spring 
Term. 

6.  Geometry. — A  course  covering  the  whole  subject  of  Geometry.  Much  work 
with  original  problems  is  done.

1.  Physiology. — Twenty  weeks.  A  thorough  study  of  the  physiological  eflects  of 
alcohol  is  made.  A  skeleton  and  Yaggy's  Anatomical  Chart  are  used  as  aids  in  the 
study . 

2.  Zoology. — Eighteen  weeks.  Most  attention  is  given  to  the  comparative  study 
<if  animals. 

3.  Physical  Geography. — Twenty  weeks.  Meteorology  and  Climatology  are  es- 
pecially emphasized. 

4.  Natural  Philosophy. — Twenty-two  weeks.  All  formulas  are  applied  in  the  so- 
lution of  problems. 

5.  Botany. — After  studying  the  text  of  Wood,  much  time  is  given  to  plant  analy- 
sis and  records. 

6.  Geology. — Dana's  text  is  used.  The  work  is  illustrated  by  a  good  collection 
of  rocks  and  fossils. 

7.  Astronomy. — This  work  is  aided  by  a  good  telescope  of  four  inch  objective. 


IX.  PHILOSOPHY.
