Tniz Ecuo WI 1 - WD! Program of Studies LEMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL offers a varied, yet eiiicient, program of studies, not miscellaneously arranged, but carefully thought out, well planned, and approved by the State Board of Education. The Commercial Course is a strictly vocational one in which the student specializes in type-writing, stenography, and book-keeping. It aims to equip the student with a practical foundation in the job of earning a living, to understand the fundamentals of the law as it applies to business practice, and to understand the procedure of standard office practice and the handling of business records. Since a large majority of girls become home-makers upon their graduation from high school, a Home 'Economics Course is oifered which tries to have the work started in school carried over to the home. The various subjects are not denied to the student not taking the course, but are offered as electives to those desiring to take them. The Normal Course is offered to those planning to enter a State Teachers' College or Normal School. For the more mechanically inclined individual, a Manual Training Course is offered. This department consists of five branches of endeavor, namely, wood work, sheet metal working, electrical application, printing, and mechanical drawing. This course attempts to develop a sense of color harmony, an appreciation of the use of the hands, and a desire for orderliness in industry. Both the General and College Preparatory Agriculture Courses enable a student to receive training and guidance in progressive and economical farming. Another purpose of this department is to teach boys to make the country a better place in which to live. In addition to these courses of study, three college preparatory curricula are offered to those desiring to go on to higher institutions of learning. The Latin Course makes a study of literature and the languages and leads to the College of Liberal Arts. The Scientiiic and Technical Courses both major in science, mathematics, and a foreign language, the only difference being the requirement of Trigonometry in the Technical Curriculum. Through the French Department, pupils become acquainted with the customs and laws of the French people, receive a sufiicient knowledge of the grammar to warrant easy reading, Fluent speaking, and an ability to read French literature. The Fine Arts Department attempts to encourage an appreciation of color harmony and its production, as well as a love of fine arts.
