ACADEMIC DEPARTME T Scope .ff Work The studies pursued are those of the high school, supplemented by certain commercial subjects and preceded by some grammar school work. The courses are kept carefully revised to conform fully to present educational requirements. The high school work embraces four years of English, four of mathematics, five of history, four of Latin, two of Greek, two of German, two of French, two of Spanish, one of chemistry, one of physics, one of agriculture, two of military science, and three of manual training and drawing. The commercial subjects are bookkeep- ing, commercial arithmetic, commercial geography, commercial law, typewriting, and shorthand. The grammar school work is such as is usually pursued in the seventh and eighth grades, or the first two years of the junior high school. The work is intended to prepare a boy for college or the National Academies, or to give him such information, taste, and training as will make him more than able to hold his own in the business world. The curricula are flexible enough to allow due consideration of the individuality of the boy. C,See Curricula and Requirements for Graduation, pages 16 and 179. Emphasis is laid at all times on the practical side of the work. Thoroughness Realizing that it is the trained mind that wins the prizes of this age, every means is employed to produce trained minds. The utmost thoroughness is insisted on in all classes. The boy is soon taught that if he knows a thing in a hazy way, he doesn't know anything that is worth while. To gain thoroughness, every study is recited five times a week. Every boy must carry four studies and is limited to five. It is the aim not only to impart knowledge, but also to train the mind to intense application and attention. The boy is placed amid surround- ings best conductive to attain these ends and is given every proper incentive to strive for them. He is then required to live up to the motto, Every boy gets every lesson every day. If he fails, he makes the lesson up on the day of the failure. This business-like method appeals to all.
