Courses Offcrco by lbc alon Kapios Tlfigb School THE ENGLISH COURSE HE English Course is an important one and should not be overlooked. Its purpose is to familiarize the student with the world's best literature and develop his taste along this lineg to draw out, develop, and perfect his skill in different types of oral and written composition. I During the first year the students take up English Composition, which includes ex- ercises in simple composition and rhetoric, word study, and grammar review. The second year is devoted to a more advanced study of Composition and Rhetoric. Eleventh grade English consists of the study of the American authors, together with short selections from the writings of each. The last year is spent in studying the British writers and their works. Each grade studies several classics a year. Shakespeare, Dickens, George Eliot, Sir Walter Scott, Poe, Browning, Tennyson, and Irving are among the authors selected. Book reports, either oral or written, are also required in each grade. These afford excellent practice to the student and help cultivate a. liking for literature. -LOUISE BEASORE, '23. SCIENTIFIC COURSE HE Scientific Course is the most interesting course in High School, ,especially to those students who have the intentions of entering into the scientific world after finishing High School. General Science is the introductory course which gives the first year student a foundation for the differentiated sciences. In the first half of the second year, Physiography is taught, which is concerned with the physical features of the earth that effect the life and ways in which different forms of life respond to their physical surroundings. The second half of the second year Physiology is offered, which deals with the different systems of organs and diseases of the human body. Biology is a new subject adopted in High School this year and may be elective in any of the last three years in the scientific course. It shows the close relationship of the science of biology to human life. Physics and chemistry are taught alternately each year. Physics was taught this year. It treats with the relationship between matter and energy in every day applica- tions with special emphasis on laboratory and note book Work. Under the tutorship of Messrs. Klepinger, Moore and Black the science courses have been very helpful and interesting. GERALD KNAPP, '22. Page Thirty
