SUGGESTIONS Plan of Course for Freshman English, First Semester I. '1 hemes. A theme of one hundred words must be handed in at each meeting of the class or before six o’clock on day of meeting of class. This theme may be written by an upper classman or taken from a last year’s notebook. In case a translation is called for, good translations arc to be found near the northeast window in the city library. Try to find a page that has not been thumbed over and you are not so liable to get someone elsc’s translation. Ponies may be borrowed from Juniors and Seniors. Once a month a theme of from 800 to 1000 words is to be handed in. If this theme is copied from some well-known source change a few words to give it an appearance of originality. 2. Conferences. Conferences of from five minutes to two semesters are held after each long theme. The purpose of these conferences is to secure aid from the teacher in deciphering marks of correction on the papers. 3. Notebooks. Each student must secure a loose-leaf notebook. In it must be kept (a) class assignments, jokes, puns, et cetera; (b) any information given by instructor. If this is put on the first page of the book place it somewhere above the third line from the top. (c) Synopsis of readings; those that arc cut from magazines should be pasted in rather than pinned in. 4. Required Reading. Each student (and any others registered for this course) must do reading to the extent of 1250 pages during the semester. Not more than 700 pages to be taken from one author. The following are suggested: Saturday Evening Post. Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress.” “Ten Nights in a Barroom.” “Bound to Rise” (Alger). B. L. T. “Through the Window at the Black Cat.” “Robinson Crusoe.” . Red Book.
