Dur- ing the first two years, composition is stressed and some attention is given to the study of literature. The first semester of the third year is given over to the study of American Liter- ature, and the second to the study of short-stories, Hamlet, and The Princess. Argumentation. Argumentation is taught to a small class. lts purpose is to prepare the pupils, during the first semester, in the work for their debates of the second semester. The debating team is made up largely of members of this class. fournalism. The journalism course offers a year of instruction in the fundamentals of news writing. A regular textbook is used, and a yearvs work is given. This class furnishes, for the most part, the material for the school paper. HISTURY. Two years of history are offered in the high school: world history in the sophomore year and American history in the senior year. The study aims to give a better understanding of the present, and to make a preparation for the future, through a study of the past. The year's work is divided into eight units. At the beginning of each unit, the teacher gives a talk touching upon the leading points, as preparation. With the aid of outlines, the pupils take notes from reference books and are then required to write the complete story in outline form from memory. Citizenship. Citizenship aims to acquaint pupils with the development and organization of the home, church, school, commun- ity, city, country, state and nation. This instruction helps each one to feel that he is a part of these institu- tions, that he receives benefit from them, and that he is obligated to them. Commercial Law and Economics. Over one hundred pupils are enroll- ed in the classes in commercial law and economics. Commercial law aids a pupil in acquiring a knowledge of legal principles, terms and forms. Economics aims to acquaint the pupil with the fundamental laws of econ- omics, and also to lead the pupils to see the problems facing our country so that they may establish their own ideas and ways of thinking. MATHEMATICS. Four semesters of mathematics are required in this school. Six semesters are offered: algebra I, II, and III, two semesters of plane geometryg and one semester of solid geometry. Four teach- ers devote all or part of their time to this department. SCIENCE. Botany. The aim of this course is three fold: namely, to obtain a greater ap- preciation of nature, to obtain a basis for scientific skill in the laboratory, and to gain a sane conception of plant evolution. Forestry and forest preser- vation are taken up, as well as the study of plants that grow in, on and under the land and water. Flowers are collected, disected and sorted into proper families. Chemistry and Physics. Nothing can be found that has not been touched by the hand of the chemist. Chemistry teaches such prac- tical things as: care of milk, removal of stains, softening of water and treat- ment of burns. There are three chem- istry classes. Chemistry is the science of sciences.
