9. Those games to be allowed that are suitable to the boys’ age and nationality.
10. In place of a dramatic performance at the end of a term there is to be an examination, in which each boy is to challenge another, and to ask and answer questions on the subject-matter of the Vestibulum.
Class II.—The Janual
1. Over the door is the inscription:
“Let no one enter who is ignorant of mathematics,”
that is to say, the elements are supposed to be known.
2. On the walls are to be pictures of the more important objects mentioned in the Janua (if the things themselves cannot be procured). On one wall may be drawn those that are natural, on another those that are artificial. On the other two walls grammatical rules may be written.
3. The Catechism is to be thoroughly learned.
4. The class-books are the Janua, the Latin Vernacular dictionary, and the Janual grammar.
5. In arithmetic, addition and subtraction are to be taught; in geometry, plane figures. The music is to be rather more advanced than in the Vestibular class.
6. In history no book other than the Janua is to be used.
7. Exercises of style will deal with the structure of phrases, sentences, and periods.
8. No accessory study is prescribed for the boys in this class, as they have already enough to do. It will be sufficient if they learn with exactness the names and natures of external objects.
9. Games to be chosen by the master.
10. In place of a dramatic performance, the boys may ask one another hard questions on the subject-matter of the Janua.
