Mr. Bracewell, although not often coming in very close contact with his students, is very Well liked. He is the most efficient principal Bur- lington High School has ever had.

English E English Department in the Burlington High School is one of our most efficiently supervised and most valuable branches of the curriculum. Every student is compelled to take at least three years of the subject and is urged to take four. This course is especially necessary to those students who are planning to continue their education after graduation No school prepares its students for college entrance in this department better than the Burlington High. School. The course covers both English and American literature, in which the students read the more important classics, and English composition. It is excellently supervised, being taught by some of our most capable faculty members. Although it is considered one of the hardest courses in the high school by the students it is undoubtedly one of the most in- teresting and helpful. Page Eighteen
