ENGLISH. Even progressive person today realizes that one of the essentials in every walk of life in the ability to write and speak the English lan- guage correctly. The purpose of the English Course, which extends through the four years, is to gain a knowledge of the essentials of grammar and of the practical application of its rules and principles, and to lay great stress upon the importance of reading the works of best authors as a means to enable the pupil to appreciate good literature and discriminate it from the inferior. The aim of English I. is to develop the pupil's power to express his thought clearly and interestingly. Constant practice in composition is gained by daily and weekly themes; and frequent consultations are held for individual criticism and instruction. Besides the drill in the elements of punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure, classics are read and discussed in class. The work in Composition and Rhetoric is based on Lockwood and Emerson's Text and covers the first two years of the course. The English work for the second year, in addition to the text-book- work. consists of class-room reading and discussion of choice classics, which furnish abundant material for narrative and descriptive themes, character sketches, and book reviews. Attention is also given the col- lateral reading for special examination. The work of English III. and IV. is combined and the course is alternated. The history of English and American literature is studied, and representative classics are read and discussed in the class-room. A note book with the work done in outline form is required. Emphasis is placed upon short themes of literary appreciation on subjects drawn from the classics. A survey of the work of other representative writers is ob- tained by extensive collateral reading, and the thoroughness of the work- done is tested bv special examination in the form of questions, book re- views and critical papers. The outline of the course is as follows: Freshman Year:—Composition and Rhetoric. Scott's Lady of the Lake. Shakspere’s Merchant of Venice. Irving's Sketch Book. Goldsmith's Deserted Village. Sophomore Year:—Composition and Rhetoric. Eliot's Silas Marner. Franklin's Autobiography. Shakspere's Julius Caesar. Tennyson’s Idylls of the King. Scott's Ivanhoe. Collateral Reading: Dickens’ Christmas Carol. Lowell’s Vision of Sir Launfal. Goldsmith's Vicar of W akefield. Stevenson's Treasure Island.
