THE

SPIRIT OF THE SCHOOL

HE School not only prepares students for specific professions, but aims especially to develop true manhood and womanhood. The work of the institution has been recognized by its power to stimulate ideals, awaken aspirations, quicken imagination and feeling, and to idealize human relations.

Students attending primarily for culture can arrange courses of from one to twenty hours a week which will meet their needs. The courses especially recommended are those in Literature and in English, in the training of the Voice and Body, in Conversations, and the various courses and studies in Art and Interpretation.

Special course for culture: 1. The Voice as a Social Factor. 2. Conversation as an Art. 3. The Art of Entertaining. 4. Grace in Everyday Life.

SPIRITUAL CULTURE

The indirect effects of all the work in the School of Expression and the general spirit of association of the students receive careful attention. There is a short chapel exercise each morning. Courses are given occasionally at other times in the week with indications to students of how the work of Expression leads to a definite consciousness of the true nature of man and a true realization of the beauty and dignity of human life. Some of the courses to be given are:

1. Spiritual Ideals of the Poets.

2. History of the Poetic and Spiritual Introduction to Nature. 3. Spiritual Ideals of Our Own Time and Their Expression. 4. Expression and Life.

5. The Relation of Art to Human Ideals and Experiences.

PUBLIC ARTISTIC WORK OF THE STUDENTS Literary interpretations, impersonations, representation of plays, with and without scenery, form important features of the School.

Students are encouraged to make creative studies in connection with prescribed courses. Many of these studies are subject to suggestions from the teachers.

Professional students during their senior year are permitted, when their work is satisfactory, to give special public recitals under their own names, and they are allowed the use of the Irving Studio for that purpose. Such recitals, however, must first be given informally in recital, and approved by the teachers in charge. These recitals must show originality in conception and skill in dramatic handling, and must be from standard literature.

The recitals Friday noon and Thursday evening are important courses. Attendance at and participation in these exercises are required of diploma students.

METHODS OF THE SCHOOL

Investigations fostered by the School have brought about important discoveries, and the methods adopted have advanced vocal and other forms of training.

The School is now recognized as the "fountainhead of right work in this department of education." Methods of imitation, of mechanical analysis, of studies which result only in the acquisition and accumulation of facts, and are inconsistent with the ideals of the best modern education, are avoided. The methods chosen develop creative power, stimulate endeavor, and offer a wellbalanced scientific training either for professional work or for harmonizing and perfecting the personality.

The School of Expression is founded upon the principle that the growth and development of the mind depend not only upon receiving right impressions, but equally upon giving them adequate expression; impression must precede and determine expression. The School aims to
