(4) The term "private school" shall, however, mean and include schools of business instruction where, in addition to such specialized courses as typing, there are also offered general courses in conventional academic subjects such as grammar, spelling, and mathematics. This term shall also include kindergartens at which pre-grammar-school-age children are given initial instructions in the arts of reading, writing and the use of numbers.
