Directors ot Knowledge Little Boy Blue , sadly, never lived long enough to go to school, but even if he had, he would not have had one half the choice of courses and the advantages of a modern school that we of Central, have today. Here are some of the subjects that a Central student may include in his curriculum. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT A varied and attractive course is offered in English to every student. Some of the subjects a student may choose in this department are: Creative Writing, News Writing, Remedial Read- ing, American Literature, English Literature, Speech, and Business English. Speech is a course which proves to be very helpful in later life. It has as its chief aims: to enable a student to think on his feet and im- prove his manner of delivering talks and speeches -as well as improve and enlarge his vocabulary. Remedial Reading classes have been formu- lated to help students who are found to be de- ficient in reading ability. Journalism, a senior English subject, has for its aims to develop good citizenship, to give the student a thorough un- derstanding of the working of a modern newspaper and to acquire accuracy and fluency in writing.
