EXPLANATION OF COURSE OF STUDY AND STANDING Sixteen credits in the Academic subjects and four credits in Deportment are required for graduation from the Auburn High School. A subject studied for one school year, with five recitations each week, entitles the student who obtains satisfactory grades, to one credit in that subject. Half vear subiects under the same conditions, entitles the student to half a credit. The first figure after each subject indicates the number of reci- tations each week, the second figure in parenthesis indicates the credit made and time studied. One erdit is given in deportment each year. Subjects marked by the ( ) are electives; tut other substitutions may be made at the discretion of the Superintendent and Principal. One period each week is given to each of the subjects, Music and Drawing to all classes. The High School is commissioned by the State Board of Education, and ali graduates are entitled to enter any of the Colleges or Univresities of the State without examination. Most of the Colleges and Universities of the middle West will admit our graduates without examination, upon the standing given the High School by the State Board of Education. Seven well qualificd teachers will give all their time to the work of the High School, besides the teaching that is done by the Superintendent, and Supervisor of Music and Drawing. A Supervisor of Domestic Science, and a teacher of Manual Training and of the Commercial Subjects will, probably, be added another year. The enrollment for this year has been one hundred eighty-six, but we want two hundred twenty-five and we be- lieve that the enrollment will reach that number before very long. Phe High School Department of the Auburn City Schools has attained a high degree of efticiency; but we wan t it to become still more efficient, and the changes that are being made are in keeping with the progress and pregent day educational thought. The High School has been termed the “pe@ple’s university,’’ and as such it is intended to meet certain specific de- mands upon the part of the State and the community. To meet these de- mands special teachers have been employed who have specialized in the branches they are to teach and the course of study has been planned and outlined in three directions. Namely, the Classical Course, the Scientific Course, and the Vocational Course. The Classical Course not only meets the demands of the universities and all of the colleges of the State, but gives the pupil training necessary for a broader view and a fuller enjoyment of life. The Scientific Course has practically the same educational value, but prepares the student for technical schools where emphasis is not placed upon Latin and German requirements. The Vocational Course is especially adapted to meet the requirements of the new Vocational Law of the State. In this course will be found the vocational subjects, such as, Manual Training; Domestic Science; Commercial Subjects and Book-keeping. The Auburn High School had its beginning in 1876, when the Harrison building was erected. The number of students in the High School at this time was small, but it continued to grow each year until in 1893, when it could not be accommodated in that building and the present High School building was erected. The High School has had a continued growth ever since, and it has now outgrown the capacity of the present building; and the greatest need of the Auburn High School is a new modern high school building with a capacity for two hundred fifty or three hundred students. There are two reasons why the high schools are growing in every com- munity. There never was a time when the demand was so strong for a better education on the part of the young people of the present, and parents everyWhere are recognizing the fact that their children cannot meet the twentieth century demand for leadership with the education they them- selves were forced to be satisfied with. They realize that in order to be successful in life, their children must have a better foundation; they must be equipped with a High School education. There was a time when a com- mon school education was all that was necessary, but that time has passed and now many of the trades and professions are demanding that tieir students be graduates of some standard high school. In the second place, the Board of Education is endeavoring to give to the citizens of Auburn, and of the surrounding country, the very best that can be obtained in the way of teachers and general equipment. Most of the teachers of the high school have attained or are graduates of some of the standard Colleges and Universities of the middle West. The laboratories are fairly well equipped for the teaching of Botany, Physics, Chemistry and Agriculture, and these are constantly being added to and replenished and such apparatus as can be used to an advantage will be purchased. We have a very good reference library for the school and new books will be added every year. The Eckhart Public Library is so near the High School building and it is so well equipped with good reference books, magazines and books on literature, art, science, and history, that the students have a rare opportunity for good reading matter. The students are surely availing themselves of this opportunity, for the library is being used more and more, and at the close of every session of the school thé reading rooms are filled with busy students looking up some line of ref- erence;for the work in the class room, or for the reading of good magazines and books. Athletics is a part of the work of the school, and is a help to the gen- eral good of the school. Being such, the Superintendent wishes to en- courage the work, but reserves the right to formulate the general conditions, in accordance with the rules of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. We are proud of the success the boys and girls have made along this line. We are for clean athletics, for boys and girls whose lives are clear, first, last and all the time. We want to win in every contest—but win by fair means only. We want to accept defeat in a sportsman-like manner, and conduct ourselves as ladies and gentlemen in time of defeat. We have transfer students from all parts of the County and some from adjoining Counties, and these are especially welcome and will receive the same attention and advantags as the resident students. Parents who are thinking of sending their children to High School and if they must be transferred, we are very anxious that they investigate the standing and merits of the Auburn High School, for we believe that every pareni is anxious to give their children every possible advantage, and in the light of
