THE CURRICULUM HE curriculum revision program of the Denver Public Schools has attracted nation wide attention. All courses offered are under continuous observation to see that they give to the pupils the greatest development and best preparation for college or business. Obsolete material has been dropped from subject matter and new material added as experience has shown that it would more greatly benefit the pupils. The work of curriculum revision is carried on by faculty committees composed of alert and interested teachers working with Mr. A. K. Loomis, director of curriculum ref vision. Occasionally experts from universities or other school systems are called for consultation with these committees. Teachers from East High School have been very active in participating in curriculum Work. All members of the East High faculty hold A.B. degrees and the majority of them hold M.A. degrees. All of them attend occasional summer sessions at leading universities so as to keep abreast of the progressive movements in education. The past year has been the second year of our counseling system. There are counselors or educational advisors for the boys and girls of each half grade except for the seniors who are counseled by the dean of girls and assistant principal. With the new counseling system it is possible to give each pupil's program much more considf eration and to watch each individuals scholastic progress much more carefully. The Denver High School Counseling Committee has prepared a booklet of General Information which is furnished to all pupils. It gives complete information concerning graduation requirements, courses to prepare for college entrance or business, and a description of each subject taught. T233 f- , I a . S? jf
