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

FRENCH RENCH is an elective subject offered to those students who have special aptitude and interest in language, and to those who need this subject as a requirement of certain college curriculums. The objectives of the course are both practical and cul- tural. Skill, discipline, information and enjoyment may be named as aims or values. French is a language very rich in vocabulary and construction. It owes its vogue to its incomparable masterpieces of French literature, the precision of its vocabulary and the clearness of its syntax. It is a simple. exact, clear language, the direct and elegant expression of thought. This has made French the preferred language in inter- national relations, in diplomacy, science and commerce. GERMAN ERMAN is again in favor. Prejudices aroused during the World War made any- thing smacking of German decidedly unpopular. As a result of this feeling, German was dropped from the Flint High School curriculum and all German texts discarded. Not until September. 1930, was the demand for the subject great enough to warrant its return. At that time a class was organized and the subject has become increasingly popular, especially among students pursuing scientific work. The objectives of the course are: To gain a knowledge of German grammar: to acquire an ability to read and speak simple German, and to appreciate German literature and German writers. Two years of this language are offered at present. Page 24
