THE GRANOIS 19 3 0 Academic Course of Study Community High School, Granite City, 111. r T ' HE program of studies in this high school is arranged in several curricula, each A aimed at some specific end. These are given the names of Arts, Science, History, Home Economics, Stenographic, Bookkeeping, and Vocational. All seven agree in calling for eight semesters or four full years of English. In other respects they differ as indicated below. The Arts Course is strong in foreign language and history, calling for at least three years of each of these. In addition, two years each of science and mathe- matics are called for with enough electives to total sixteen units of work. The Science Course is strong in science and mathematics, calling for three years ' work in each of these. To these are added two years each of history and foreign language with enough electives to total sixteen units. The History course is strong in history and mathematics with four years ' work in each. Electives bring the total units of work up to sixteen. The Home Economics Course has three years of this subject, two years each of foreign languages, history, and mathematics with electives to total sixteen units of work. All the above mentioned courses will lead to some colleges. It is true there are colleges, particularly in the east, with entrance requirements so rigid that a graduate of these courses could not enter, but most western colleges could be entered readily. The other three courses do not lead to college and are not intended to be college entrance courses. The two commercial courses both have the eight semester of English, then the Bookkeeping Course has two years each of bookkeeping and of history and typewriting, a year each of science and stenography and enough electives to fill up the sixteen units while the Stenographic Course has six years of stenography, two years of history and typewriting, a year of science, bookkeeping and comp- tometer and electives to make sixteen units of work. A determined effort is made to make all the work of the school, both aca- demic and vocational, practical — good for something, now and in the future. The work is outlined in such a wav that if the pupil wants to go to colleg e he can do so by taking certain courses. If he or she does not want to go to college but desires to go to work in office or industrial plant, he or she is prepared to do something of value in the world that will be jxiid for by the world in coin of the realm, here and now.
