Plane Trinometry.-Includes trigonometric functions of any angle: logarithims of numbers and trigonometric functions: proeprties and prac- tice, solution of right triangles by logarithimsg solution of oblique tri- angles: general formulas of trigonometryg circular measure. Text: Wentworth-Smith Plane Trigonometry. Note: Permission of the principal is required to take this course. Algebra 4.-Offered to students who Wish to specialize in mathe- matics and covers the Algebra work required in the freshman year in college. Permission from the principal is required to take this course. Text: Ford College Algebra. SCIENCE The science courses aim to help the studetns understand the phe- nomena which occur in everyday life and to lay the foundation for further study in medicine, engineering, agriculture, etc. Biology 1 and 2.-A study treating of plant and animal life. A splendid course for boys and girls who are thinking of agriculture, nursing or medicine as possible vocations. Covers both Botany and Zoology. Sepcial emphasis is placed upon the economic value of plants and animals to man. Text: Hunted Biology. Physics 1 and 2.-This course has practical bearing on everyday prob- lems. Should be taken by all boys. Girls, too, will find that it offers practical information pertaining to the household and electrical appliances of the home. Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry 1 and 2. Physics may be taken in either the Junior or Senior year. Text: Millikan and Gale Practical Physics. Colleges require at least one year of science as an entrance require- ment, Physics being preferred. Biology and Physiography as well as Physics and Chemistry are taught in alternate years in order that students whodesire may have an opportunity of taking as much as four years of science.

Two years of Mathe- matics are required for graduation. Many colleges require two years or more of mathmatics for entrance. Students expecting to attend college should consult the entrance requirements of the school selected. The courses offered in the eleventh and twelfth years are courses for the in- struction of those students who expect to follow some work based upon the knowledge of mathematics. They ought not to be entered upon such students as have a decided tendency for mathematics and who have a thorough and easy familiarity with the preceding work. Students who have failed to attain high grades in the preceding two years of work in a normal amount of time ought not to consider taking these special courses. In no case should two courses in mathematics be carried at the same time. Algeb1'a 1.-The work includes the fundamental operations, paren- thesis, solution of linear equations, special products and factoring. H. C. F., and L. C. M. and solution of quadratic equations by factoring. Text: Wells and Hart New Complete Algebra. Algebra 2.-The work includes fractions: fractional equations, both numerical and literalg solution of formulasg graphsg simultaneous linear equations with two or more unknownsg square rootg reduction, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of quadratic surds: quadratic equations solved by the formulag simultaneous equations, one quadratic and one linear. V Text: Wells and Hart New Complete Algebra. Geometry 1.-Covers the first two books of the text. Text: Newell and Harper Plane and Solid Geometry. Geometry 2.-Covers the remaining three books of Plane Geometry. Text: Newell and Harper Plane and Solid Geometry. Algebra 3.-The work includes advanced special products and factor- ing: simultaneous quadratic equations: theory of quadraticsg exponents: radicalsg arithmetical progressiong geometric progressiong binominal theoremg ratiog and proportion.

Business men ex- press themselves as favoring young people who are High School graduates in preference to those who have taken short courses at commercial schools. To be an intelligent worker in an office requires more than the mere ability to take dictation and operate the typewriter. Therefore it is your advan- tage, if you are planning to enter the commercial world, to take a com- plete four year course in high school. The student who wishes to take work in the Commercial Department has one of two choices: 1. Take the required work in the general or college preparatory course and his elective work in the commercial department from the essential subjects. 2. Take the complete commercial course as offered under what is known as specialized curriculum. This prepares intensively for imme- diate work in offices and where skill in stenography, bookkeeping, and general office practice is requi1'ed. The student who pursues this course as outlined must bear in mind that although it qualifies the student for graduation from High School it does not fulfill the requirements for col- lege entrance unless electives are carefully chosen with that object in view or additional work is taken. However, the entrance requirements of some colleges are met in the specialized course as outlined. The commercial course aims to offer a practical training that will induce a larger number of pupils to remain in school for a longer time and to prepare them for a place in business affairs. Shorthand and Typewriting prepare the student to perform the various duties of the stenographer in the business office. Together with other courses the foundation for secretarial work is laid. Unless you are able to master shorthand and learn to take dictation the time spent on the subject is practically wasted. Bookkeeping, together with Commercial Arithmetic and Junior Busi- ness Procedure enables the student to do the work of the bookkeeper ledger clerk or general oiiice assistant. It is the basis for work in ac- counting. - The four years commercial course is intensive in character and allows for very few electives.
