The Science department is in charge of Mr. C. |. Pojey, and ii equipped with chemical, physical and biological laboratories. The department otter.- one year’» work in Botany or Zoology on alternate •• ear.-. one-half year's w ork each in Physical Geography and Physiology, and a full year’s work in Physio and Chemistry. The laboratory equipments arc adequate, and throughout the course laboratory note-books arc prepared in connection with laboratory practice. The department of History has not vet been organized as a distinct department. The work is at present distributed so that first year work in Genera History is conducted by Miss Katharine Crane and Mr. C. O. Nelson. The work in English History, U. S. History and Civil Government is conducted by Principal F. L. Sims, who has charge of the history work. It is hoped that a special teacher of history may soon be appointed, and that a!! this w ork may be put under the care of one person, giving an organic view of the three or four years’ work which may be offered under such circumstances. The course in history needs extension, but steps in that direction are not advisable with the present limited teaching corps. The Commercial department is fast gaining favor with students and patrons, and is in charge of Mr. II. C. Noe, who also acts as super- visor in the grades. The extension of the work from two to four years has resulted in more than doubling the membership in the department, and has made it equal to the other departments in scholastic worth and training. As now organized the department offers two and one-half years in Book-keeping and Business Practice; one year in Commercial Arithmetic; one year in Commercial Gcographv , one-half year in Com- mercial Law and De-iriptivc Economics and one year in Shorthand and Typew riting. The enrollment this year in the Typewriting class is forty-eight, and the prospects arc for a greater attendance if a sufficient number of machines can he provided. The Art department for the past twelve years has been in charge of Mr. F. H. Simon-, who also acts as supervisor in the grades. He has done much to cultivate an appreciation of Art and to develop artistic ability in this community. The High School Art Course offers four years of consecutive work in each of the lines offered, namely. Pictorial, Decorative and Construc- tive. Both Decorative and Constructive work requires as a basis a familiarity with the principles of pictorial, perspective, light and shade and water color work. And so those desiring to enter technical classes arc strongly advised to elect the pictorial with the decorative or con- structive work. Several students and post-graduates take the four years’ work in the three lines. The department of Music is in charge of Miss Helen Poole, also supervisor in the grades. Each class has class instruction on the theory of Music and vocal exercises one period each week. In the class room the course furnishes work throughout the four years as follows; First and Second Years; — Elements of Mu ic, Solfeggios, Sight Reading, Two-part Harmony , Rounds, Theory of Seales, Vowel Prac- tice and Formation of Tone, Chorus Practice. Third and Fourth Years;—Transpositions, Modulations, Elements of Harmony, Intervals, General History of Music. Chorus Practice. The department of Physical Culture i in charge of Miss Nina B. I.amki», whose services have been retained by the High School Athletic Association. The gymnasium has been established in the old Third Ward School Building. It was remodeled by the Board of Education; the apparatus has been furnished by the Athletic Association. Each class receives instruction two periods per week under the direction of the instructor, with privileges of the gymnasium at all unoccu- pied periods during the week. The expenses of the department have been paid by membership fees and proceeds from athletic entertainments given during the past two years. In all the departments there has been an earnest endeavor on part of pupils and teachers to do honest work and to make the interest of each department subordinate to the interests and general welfare of the entire school. The best work in the departments can only be done when there is most pertect harmony and co-operation on the par: of those responsible for the various lines of work. The maintenance of these departments and the liberal patronage of them reflects great credit on the community, and speaks much for the educational sentiment of La Porte. -
