The Feitshans High School English depart- ment is the only department that teaches every single student in this school, until the close of the Iunior year. As American educators loe- lieve, a person must have a thorough back- ground of English. He should know how to express himself, both in writing and in speech: he should have a reading skill to maintain his knowledge of the world about him, To further this learning, the English department also offers a fourth year of imaginative writing and modern literature.
