They need an extra year of preparatory school to round up their secondary school training and to give them an introduction at least to some of the subjects which if JUNICR ASTLE HEIGHTS offers a year's worlc of college level, the courses being those required in the majority of colleges and universities in the fresh- man year, Every requirement for a Junior College of the South- ern Association of Schools and Colleges with respect to subjects, teachers, laboratory and library is met fully by Castle Heights. The dean of the department is Col. I. W. P. Buchanan, PhD., founder of Castle Heights and one of the best known educators in the South. rr The Junior Military College has a distinctive function in the educational structure. The sympathetic guidance and supervision which it exercises over its students save many a boy from the shipwreclc of failure. Ample freedom and recreational opportunities are provided fbr, but liberty is never allowed to degenerate into license. The military regime lends a tone to the entire life of the school which malces for lceenness and prompt- ness in meeting obligations fully and completely. The regularity of the life and the daily drills give physical development, poise and well being, which alone would justify the military institution. Following the example of the country's leading col- leges, our curriculum comprises English, Mathematics, History, Science and Modern Languages. The courses are as follows:- College Algebra-Our five months' course in this sub- ject constitutes a rapid review of Advanced High School Algebra, involving the topics, Theory of they will talce in college. This post graduate course is especially planned for students desirous of preparing for the College Board Examinations, or for the West Point and Annapolis entrance examinations. We pre- pare a number of boys each year to meet successfully these exacting tests. if I COLLEGE Exponents, Radicals, Quadratics, Systems of Equations in Two Unknown Quantities, progressions, etc. After the above subjects, careful attention is given Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Complex Numbers, Theory of Equations, Determinants, Infinite Series, and Theory of lnvestment. Trigonometry-Unusual attention is given to the theory underlying all formulas-especially those loolcing toward the solution of right and oblique triangles. Practical applications and exercises are stressed, and absolute accuracy and slcill are required in the solution of same. Chemistry-General College Chemistry, including reci- tations, lectures and laboratory. A course in General Inorganic Chemistry with'an introduction to organic, Physical and Colloidal chemistry. No previous lcnowledge of chemistry required. History-A Political and Social History of Europe from,'I5OO to 1930. The text is a two volume Out- line of Modern History by J. H, Hayes. Modern -Languages--French and Spanish are offered, corresponding to the usual College demands in a beginning language course. English-We follow the best practice in planning this course to include the most desirable content, em- phasizing composition particularly.
