Schedule of Classes, Ulster Academy 1892 PAST We are now at the midpoint of an era which is often termed the century of progress. During the past fifty years tremendous advances have been made in practically every conceivable field of human endeavor. As we consider these accomplishments, We often overlook the great strides which have occurred in the field of education. Therefore in accordance with our theme, the passage of time and its significance to us, we shall compare the curriculum offered in Ulster Academy and in Kingston Academy around the year 1900 with the present day curriculum at Kingston High School. We were extremely fortunate to discover the actual school schedule of Ulster Academy as it was in the year 1892. The blackboard upon which this schedule was originally written has been covered with glass so that a record of the subjects taught in Kingston's secondary schools during that period has been preserved through the ensuing years. Examination of this schedule seems to indicate that the greatest emphasis in the high schools of Kingston more than fifty years ago was placed upon the language courses. We find that three years of Greek and four years of Latin were taught, as well as French and German. To have regularly scheduled classes in spelling, penmanship, and reading is quite different from our high schools of to- day, for now students are expected to have mastered these subjects before graduation from ele- mentary school. Separate classes in United States history, economics, and English history apparently were the forerunners of our modern day comprehensive social studies course. Although we do not usually associate mathematics and science courses with the public schools of fifty years ago, most of the subjects in these fields which we study today were included in their ear- lier curriculum. Noteworthy too is the inclusion of bookkeeping, so early foreshadowing our very comprehensive business course. r FOIII'
