The hi-o-r7e- z-r-) The study of civics gives to the pupil a knowledge of the leading facts concerning the organization and activities of national, state and local government in the United States. Great emphasis is given to what may be called dynamics of government, that is. its actual workings, as contradistinguished from organization. Likewise special stress is laid upon the activities and methods of political parties, party conventions, primaries, the conduct of political campaigns, the regulation of campaign methods, and the like. One semester of this work is required for graduation and is usually taken in the senior year. The text book used is Garner's Government in the United States. This is a most interesting line of work taken in connection with Civics. Each pupil is required to write his vocational survey and read it before the class. Thus he becomes interested in some line of work that he wishes to take up on leaving school. This prevents the boy or girl from completing his high school work without giving any thought to the course he will pursue in the future. This year a general survey has been taken of the industries of the city. The number of employees and the requirements for the various trades were enumerated. These facts have been compiled and kept for future reference. This line of work besides being very interesting. is one of the most valuable in the school. ra B.h.s ira 21
