Junior high English lays a foundation to the studies that people as senior high students will have to complete before entering college. There- fore, the subject matter to be taught is thorough- ly gone over, then care- fully administered to the classes. The advanced English system carried out at Edison is some- thing of which the Eng- lish department may be justly proud.

American literature re- ceives emphasis in the tenth grade, Eng- lish literature in the eleventh, and world literature in the twelfth. Elective English courses provide a challenging variety for those with special interests. These include speech, debate, creative writing, yearbook, and journalism. Composition and grammar are taught at each grade level in order that students may acquire correct usage, a more extensive vocabulary, and learn to analyze ideas and improve their reading, Writing, listening, and speaking abilities.
