 — 4 EXPLANATORY NOTES OF TIIE DIFFERENT COURSES. COLLEGE PREPARATORY: A major and two minors are required for entrance into college. A major is three years of a subject, and a minor is two years of a subject. For most colleges, these should be chosen from Mathematics, Foreign Language and English. (9th English cannot be counted). In other words, a student who has had three years of Mathematics, two years of Foreign Language, and two years of English has met college entrance requirements. The remainder of the fifteen units demanded for college entrance may be secured from other approved subjects. NORMAL TRAINING: In order to secure a certificate to teach in rural schools, a student must carry satisfactorily the required subjects in high school, and pass state examinations in seventeen subjects. Students who find school work unusually hard should not register for this course. However, those who find that they can master their work with moderate effort, and who are earnest and sincere, will find in this course an opportunity for service, and for well paid positions when they leave school. COMMERCIAL: Only the very best students can hope to finish this course in two years and secure good employment in town. Since this is an agricultural community, there are not many positions open to graduates. However, those who expect to go on with their commercial training, or who expect to enter business, will find (his a very valuable and helpful course. SMITH HUGHES AGRICULTURE: This course is especially valuable in an agricultural community. Boys are given an opportunity to secure three years of this work. It takes one half of their time. The other half is given over to regular school studies. A boy taking Smith Hughes Agriculture spends three half days in the Agriculture classroom, and two half days in the shop, each week. Next year the first year boys will study Animal Husbandry, and the second year boys will study Soils and Crops. By carefully selecting his subjects, a boy may combine this course with College Preparatory, thus enabling him to go on to college without handicap. The school has secured the front part of the Lowder building for the Agriculture shop. This provides a large, pleasant room for the shop work. HOME ECONOMICS: Every girl should be wfell prepared in Home Economics. Broken Bow' High School plans to offer two classes in this course next year, the Beginning and Advanced. The Beginning class will be taught in units, such as cooking, sewing and perhaps home nursing or some other phase of Home Economics work. The Advanced class will be named “Home Management,” and will study Art, Nursing, Budget Making, and such other items as might be needed in managing a home. A girl may take this course and still meet College Entrance requirements by selecting the proper subjects. Home Economics is one of the most useful subjects offered by our High School. Broken Bowr has a sewing room equipped with Singer Sewing Machines, and a cooking room equipment with electric plates and a good coal range. 5
