COMMERCIAL EDUCATION HE aim of commercial education in the high school is to present the outstanding aspects of business relationships in a business society.

Two specific courses are designed to care for the interests of the pupils in busi- ness: Commercial Curriculum I and Commercial Curriculum Il. In the former, clerical work with emphasis on the stenographic work: Curriculum II places immediate atten- tion on Bookkeeping and Accounting. 'Courses of study are listed in alphabetical order.

ENGLISH COMPOSITION AND LITERATURE HE required English courses I, II, III, and IV are given throughout the tenth and eleventh grades. Of these, English I and III, offered during the first semes- ters of the two years, are composition courses in which the aim is to learn to srpeak and write with the usual ease and accuracy demanded by life-situations. Self-expres- sion is encouraged whether it takes the form of poetry or of prose. ' In English II and IV with reading for enjoyment as the goal, some of the best literature in our language is studied. English IV deals with American literature, while in English II such favorites as Silas Marner and Idylls of the King, are studied. English Literature is offered as an elective in the senior year. Here, too. read- ing for enjovment is the purpose of the course: but the subject matter is the litera- ture of the British Isles. I Page 23
