Since 1935 the policy of separating language-composition from reading literature units has been followed in all courses of English. English III, English V, and English VII are courses in language-composition, English IV, English VI, English VIII, and English IX are courses in reading-literature. Credits in English III, English IV, English V, and English VI are required of all candidates for graduation. English VII, a college preparatory course, gives training in advanced composition, English -VIII, also a college preparatory course, gives training in reading English literature, English IX, a non-college preparatory course, is a course in modern literature. lournalism includes writing news, features, editorials, reports on speeches, interviews, advance and followups, sports, critical reports, literary articles, poetry, and advertisements. Copyreading, makeup, proofreading, headline style, and headline Writing are also taught. Objectives aimed at include the gathering, evaluating, interpreting, and presenting of sig- nificant information objectively, writing creatively in so far as individual capacities permit, developing ethical character and good citizenship, reading and buying newspapers and periodicals intelligently, and learning the fundamentals of journalistic technique necessary for work on student publications. The mathematics department offers eight credits. Algebra I gives a general view of directed numbers, the equation, and simple operations with algebraic symbols. Algebra II gives a general idea of the meaning of algebra, also definite and useful applications to every-day problems. Algebra III immediately follows Algebra II. Plane geometry reveals the interdependence of the branches of mathematics. Solid geometry and trigonometry may be taken the first half of the senior year, they are required for all who are to study engineering. Algebra IV, which must be taken the latter half of the senior year, gives a mastery of the mechanics of algebra and provides a foundation for the study of mathe- matics in college. About 1600 students enroll each year in this department. Commercial work offers typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, business law, and business English. The purposes of the first four are vocational. Business English gives students the power of correct and forceful expression, both oral and Written, in all business and social contacts. Business law teaches the prospective business person how to keep out of litigation and when to employ a lawyer. Commercial work instructs the student in a means of earning a living, thus improving his chances for greater success in business. Page 30
