cDepartment oj Q V finishing the prescribed course in our high school, a student has completed either three or four years of work in English. If he has availed himself of the opportunity of taking all the English offered, he has finished the three required years and a fourth year which is elective. As he goes back to his start in high school, he remembers his first few meetings with his class room teachers in which he probably thought that the most work done in high school English was to become familiar with a large number of technical details, such as the requirements for oral and written themes, the proper endorsing of themes, the use of correction marks, how and when to give book reports, the use of the library, and the mysteries of conferences. All these he soon found were just the necessary equipment to understand the work. One semester sufficed to illustrate that the first two years of the English course were divided into two parts; the first for a study of composition and related subjects, and the second for a study of various types of literature, with a continuation of oral and written themes throughout.

cDepartment oj English (Continued) in prose and poetry, with four or five novels, three Shakespearean plays, and with a book of prose selections, including essays and short stories. The writing was continued during the last two years, the main emphasis being on the longer pieces. In the first semester of the Junior year he remembers his study and practice in Public Speaking of the various forms of oral English. This he recalls was followed by a semester in the study of American Literature through a histoy of literature containing different type illustrations. Those who took the required work will not know the pleasures of the study of the history and types of English Literature which those will call to mind who finished the last year of work offered in our course in English. A survey of English Literature with a study of every type completes the memory chest of those who have just finished this fourth year.
