rh 2 hi■ n z zr-J f; |C| 15 :u m 5 1 MISS MARY MORROW One of the strongest and most important departments of Bedford High School is the English department. It may be said that in general the work follows the course of study outlined by the State Board and conforms to the college entrance requirements in English. Much attention has been given to grading the work according to the growing ability of the student during the four years of his highschoolship. During the first year, such authors as Bryant. Warner, Hawthorne. Holmes and Lowell, are studied with a background of American life and letters. In composition particular attention is given to oral English, and later in the year, to the structure of the sentence and the paragraph. Miss Gior ;ia Mitciiusson With the second year, begins the study of English literature. Here the rise and growth of the novel receive particular emphasis, with special studies in the novel from Scott. Knot, and Dickens. As a means to understanding narration and description, various modern short story writers are considered. After such forms of narration have become clear to the student, attention is given to poetics and such poets as Chaucer. Milton. Tennyson. Wordsworth and Arnold are chosen for intensive study.

The H-orxz- zr- The fourth year is given over to further study of poetry with particular emphasis upon the drama of Shakesj eare. Among the plays chosen for study are Julius Caesar. Hamlet. I ear and Macbeth. The composition work for this year consists of various forms of exposition and argumentation, with later, some work in criticism. The work of this department is chosen with a view to accomplishing two purposes. First, it is the aim of the depart- ment to aid the pupil in acquiring the ability to use his mother-tongue easily and accurately, so that it may be of greatest benefit .to him. The second purpose. equally important, is to enkindle and foster in the student a liking for the best books to the end that he may enjoy the finest things English literature has to offer. i=D[ 10
