However, most colleges Q Q require at least two years of some foreign language as an entrance require- Q Q ment and some colleges require more. Keep this in mind if you are plan- Q Q ning a course which will fulfill college entrance requirements. Better still, Q Q consult the catalog of the college you are expecting to attend and plan Q Q your High school Course accordingly. Q N S X LATIN Q S Q Courses in Latin are offered throughout the ninth, tenth, eleventh and S Q twelfth years. At least two years of Latin must be taken to receive credit. S Q Latin is a good foundation study and makes a real contribution to the stu- Q dent of English. Those who are intending to take up law or medicine Q Q should study Latin. Q No one should take up the study of Latin unless he is willing to work Q hard. Those for whom Latin is especially difiicult will probably find other Q subjects offered in High School more helpful. Consult your counselor and Q X your parents before choosing this subject. Does your past record of schol- Q E arship indicate that you can pursue Latin successfully? Give this matter S X serious thought. X S Latin 1 and 2.-Study of form and simple constructions. An effort is S Q made to show the close relation between English and Latin grammar. A S systematic study is made of English words derived from Latin. S Text: Scott Eelementary Latin. S S Latin 3 and 4.-Four books of Caesar's Gallic Wars, and Composition.

The aim in composition is to develop the power to think and to ex- press thought clearly, correctly, and effectively. There is no better train- ing in thought-building and in self-realization than the giving of one's ideas and ideals in oral and written compositions. The aim is to read with pleasure, and to acquire standards as to what constitutes good literature. English is a basal subject for all courses in the curriculum. Many failures in Mathematics and History are caused by the student's inability to grasp the thought of the printed page. Moreover, reading good books is an en- joyable and profitable pastime, for one's thoughts and feelings are broad- ened and deepened by contact with great literary men of the past and present. In fact, English is a powerful agency in cultivating right ideas of individual and social conduct. Four years of English are required for graduation and also for college entrance. These courses, English one to eight inclusive, including training in composition and literature should be taken in sequence without inter- ruption.
