Eau Claire Public School High School and Grades 1 he High School With a Purpose Thrw Definite Lines, viz: FIRST —Old Line College Prep., including Foreign Languages. Advanced Mathematics. Literature and Rhetoric, and the allied sub- jects required by the University of Michigan and colleges of like rank and for which our newly acquired university affiliation will secure full credit. This course is designed for young people looking towards a professional life. SECOND —Agriculture, offering four consecutive years of agri- cultural science and useful arts co-related with practical English and Mathematics and some commercial branches. Unless the draft or other conditions prevent, this work will be headed by a trained specialist from a State Agricultural College and will receive federal inspection and support. THIRD Commercial. The great demand from the business world for trained help will be met by a fully organized Commercial Department under the supervision of a graduate of the Commercial Life Certificate course now offered by the State Normal College co-operating with the Cleary Business College of Ypsilanti. This course will include four years of business training combined with Practical English. Math- ematics and Science. In all courses, training will be emphasized as of equal importance with information. A healthy and loyal participation in athletics will be encouraged. We believe a standardized school in a small town, being free from city complexities, furnishes in many ways a more healthy social atmos- phere and helps to prevent the separation between the country pupil and his native environment, which has been so noticeable in late years. A new department will be added to the grades and each room will be put under the charge of a teacher adapted to her work. An effort will be made to conserve the pupil's lime to the utmost, believing that time is his greatest asset. We invite inspection and patronage. Get in touch with Supt. R. A. Hickok or the Secretary of the Board.
