'ii' cxwfitw ' BUILDING AND G UNDS The High School building which was erected in r9o8 is a substantial modern structure of brick and stone consisting of two stories, and a nine-foot basement, well lighted, ventilated, heated by steam, and electric lighted. On the first floor are a recitation room- library, cloak- rooms and assembly hall In the basement are the heating plant, physical science laboratory, manual training shop. and domestic science laboratory. The second floor is occupied by the biologi- cal laboratory and three large recitation rooms. THE LIBRARY This room is to be made the most attractive one in the building- The Board of Education has made a very generous appropriation .for library purposes for the coming year, and an abundant supply of new books and furnishings will be secured. A librarian will always be in charge to aid in the use of ma7 terial and the courses of study will be so arranged that every pupil must go to the library for reference books and collateral reading In addition. a number of standard magazines and periodicals will be kept on the reading table B ATORI ' Appropriations h e een ma e ort e improvement of the physical science laboratory and the biological laboratory. The experimental work is put almost entirely into the hands of the students, and is laid out in accordance .with the requirements set torth in the High School Manual of the University of Illinois ' E MUSEUM ' The splendid c specimen pZepared for the,High School by Mr- Thos. Keyworth, is a good nucleus around which to build a museum. This department can be made of great value to the cause of study if pupils, patrons and alumni will aid in gathering material. In consideration of the many favors shown to the High School by Mr. Keyworth, it has been decided to call the museum the Keyworth Museum. v ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS The completion of the course of study for the eighth grades as shown in the Illinois State Course of Study or its equivalent is our requirement for admission, to be ascertained CID by exam- ination in the common branches: CQD by diploma from the Marissa graded schools or other graded schools being an equiva- lent grade of work, C35 by a certificate from the county superin- tendent of schools showing the completion of the eighth grade in a rural or village school of the stateg CU by certificate from an accredited high school, provided that such credit shall not be allowed until the pupil has completed one semester's work in this high school.

The aim of a high school course in English should be to build upon the pupil's training in reading, writing- spelling, composition and grammar, which he has received in the grades, a course in composition- rhetoric and literature- A thorough review in grammar will be taken in the first year's work. First Year , During the first semester two days of each week Will be spent in the study of Buehler's Modern Grammar, the greater part of the time being spent on syntax Scott and Denney's Elementary Composition will be studied three days each week during the entire year. In the second semester the study of classics will be taken up with careful perusal and discussion of these? also the authors' biographies- The following classics will be studied: The Ancient Mariner, Sohrab and Rustum, Merchant of Venice, Irving's Sl-etch Book and Selections From Lincoln. The class will be required to read six books outside of the class and report on these. A list will be furnished by the teacher, any six of which may be chosen. Second Year The study of English Composition will be continued during the first semester of the second year Written and oral themes form a large part of the work- The following classics will be read in class: Julius Caesar, Ivanhoe, Pope's Iliad and David Copperfield. In connection with the study of the classics, special attention will be given to the intelligent reading and interpretation of the work. Oral and Written reproduction of the classics will be re- quired of each pupil- Third Year Composition and Rhetoric as presented in Brook's and Hubbard's text. Cal Review of grammatical principles- Cbl NVriting of themes- Ccl Forms of discourse, narration, description, exposition, argument During this year's work an oration must be written and de- livered, a theme of 8oo Words, written and read in class, and a debate outlined and given in class- Special study is given to model orations and essays- The novel is studied in detail and Dicken's Tale of Two Cities is read in class. Fourth Year This year's work will be based on English and American Literature as presented by Halleck- Special study will be made of the classics required for college entrance, and a wide reading among the chief authors of each period is encouraged- The class selects an author and makes a note-book in which they place quotations from this author, and pictures as illustra- tions of the poems. Lowell notebooks were made last year- DESCRIPTION OF COURSE OF STUDY Department of Mathematics. The Work of this department has at least five very important aims in view: 1. To give an understanding of the processes and forms of expression in the several subjects. 2. To secure exactness and speed in the operation- 3 To train the pupi1's perception of features of prime im- portance, his ability to exercise individual judgement and reas- oning. and his power to select logical steps in a demonstration. 4. To show the value in each subject in its relation to prac- tical or business life. 5. To make the pupil a self-reliant factor in life. To accomplish these purposes, four divisions of mathema- tical science are used: Book-keeping, Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic. Algebra The text in Algebra has not been chosen. For the completion of this work three semesters are given- As much as can be thoroughly mastered, is taken in the first year- The work is finished during the First semester ofthe third year! Geometry Second year, entire year- Text: Sanders Plane Geometry. The pupil is expected to have completed the work in mathematics offered during the first year before entering this class. During the first semester the first two books of the text are completed, and the text is finished during the second half of the year. In Geometry, the process of reasoning is emphasized. The demonstration is made not so much for the Q, E. D- as for exercise or imagination, individual thinking, for discipline in analysis, and formal statements of steps by which the conclusions are reached. If time permits and there is a demand a class in solid Geom- etry will be organized. This will be elective, but the workin Plane Geometry is required of all students for graduation- Physical Science Fourth year. Text: I-Ioadley's Elements of Physics- In order to enter this class the pupil must have completed ,,,,, the Work offeredin mathematics during the hrst three years or he eligible to the senior class as to the required number of credits The power of reason or common sense takes the place of mem- ory. The student is brought to see the fact that nature's laws are constant and should be obeyed- Additional apparatus is be- ing added this year, enabling the student to make very thorough personal researches in the Laboratory- . Civics First semester of third year. Text: Advanced Civics, by Forman. The work is offered early in the course so as to give those who do not complete the course a general knowledge of the or- ganization of national, state and municipal government. Atten- tion will be given to the duty of the citizen in this political or- ganization This course is preparatory to American History. ' Notebooks with supplementary work will he kept and histo- rical references relating to governmental affairs will be written in these- Current events will be reported on and important happenings relating to our country studied- The Civics of Illinois will be reviewed also in this termis work- Cornmercial Geography Second semester of tirst year. Text: Gannett, Garrison and Houston This course follows the high school physiography and is in- tended to follow up the physical setting there given, with a care- ful discussion of human industries, thus giving the pupils a more extended outlook of the relation between their physical en- vironment and man's industries. A general knowledge of com- mon school geography and physical geography is presupposed. This text work is supplemented by note book work in which interesting and important facts about commercial products and countries are recorded. Samples of wheat. corn and its prod- ucts, silk, hemp, cocoa, petroleum, etc.. are studied.

In connection with the text work, a regular laboratory notebook is used in which all notes and drawings are kept. The notebook work consists in part of: Daily weather observations- l - Interpretation and construction of weather maps, lr? l2l i5l Studies of important topographical features as shown in the topographical sheets of the U. S. geological sur- vey . 14D Graphs of all sorts, including daily. Weekly, monthly and yearly heat and pressure curves. The school possesses a number of pieces of apparatus which are used in this class. PHYSIOLOGY In addition to the text used, particular emphasis will be laid on correct habits of living, the proper foods, prevention of disease and the effects of alcohol and narcotics- Regular labor- atory exercises will supplement the text book. Eddy's Advan- ced Physiology is the text used- HISTORY English History will be offered in the third year course and this study is very necessary. as it is but the early history of our own institutions. Cheyney is the text used. AMERICAN HISTORY - Muzzey's History is the text used in this study- It is a comprehensive treatise of the important events in the history of our own country and in connection with this the four volumes of Hart's Contemporaries will be studied and reported on. This will be offered in the fourth year, and is one of the most import- ant studies in the school- A knowledge of Contemporary History is required in this course. - ANCIENT HISTORY WVest's Ancient World is the text used in the second year. Special attention is paid to the history of ancient nations and the effects of their civilization on modern history. The work will be supplemented by the use of the Ivanhoe note-books. ' DRAWING First Year- one semester- Text: Prang's Art Education for High Schools- Six phases of the subject will be taken up this year and studied as thoroughly as time will allow, They are as follows! CID Charcoal and pencil sketches, both landscapes and still life. Water color work, Lettering. Mechanical Drawing. Architectural Drawing. C65 Design. C23 C39 C43 C55 LATIN For the sake of those interested in higher education along professional lines as well as those who are interested in the more classical studies, this high school offers a complete four-year course in the Latin language, answering the entrance require- ments of any college or university. Latin I D'Ooge's 'iLatin For Beginners, is made the basis of the first year's work. The object of this course is to awaken an in- terest in the pupil for the Latin language, especially by showing its close relation to the English and at the same time to so thoroughly train him in the inilection, syntax and methods of translations that he will be well prepared to handle easily the more advanced work. Latin II Four books of Caeser's Gallic Wars are translated, the airn of the work being to clinch the knowledge of forms and principles of syntax learned in the first year. The regular text is supplemented by lessons from Bennett's Grammar and D'Ooge's Latin Compositions. ' Latin III In the third year, six of Cicero's orations are translated. In this work, as throughout the Latin course. especial attention is given to the historical interest of the material translated. Again the work is supplemented with lessons from Bennett's grammar and D'Ooge's Latin composition, especial emphasis being placed upon the subjunctive mood and its uses. Latin IV The translating of six books of Virgil's Aeneid is the most delightful work of the whole Latin course- The interest centers on the mythological allusions and the poetical scansion- GERMAN German is elective in the third and fourth years- The aim is to give the student such practice in reading and translating as will enable him to understand and enjoy the masterpieces of Ger- man literature. Special emphasis is laid upon idiomatic English in translation- Bacon's German Grammar is the text for the first year. During the second year Storm's Immense, Hillern's Hoher als die Kirche, Heyse's L'Arrbiata, Germelhausen and other classics are the texts. The work consists of translation and prose composition. ZOOLOGY This work occupies two periods per day. The course is given as found in Linville and Kelley's text. About fifteen animal forms are studied and written up in the laboratory work, the main emphasis being placed on the living characteristics- It is a definite aim in this work to relate it whenever possible to the subject of agriculture. Field excursions are frequently made in which the pupils gather information at first hand. BOTANY VVhat has been said in general about the course in zoology applies also to the work in botany. The text book used is An- clrew's Practical Course and careful attention is paid to ecology, morphology and physiology- Careful studies in analysis and classifications are given and the pupil keeps neat notes and drawings of all observation. BOOK-KEEPING A knowledge of book-keeping is essential to a great propor- tion of business positions and in order that our graduates may be able to meet this demand it has been decided to add a thor- ough course in accounting. The work will be open only to those who have shown by their proficiency in mathematics that they are able to carry a standard course with high credits. The work is in charge of a teacher who is a business college man. Those who finish the study will have a thorough knowledge about keep- ing a model journal-Day Book, Cash Book and Ledger. Exten- sive work is done in the Sales Book, Bill Book, Invoice Book and the minor auxiliary Books. The knowledge of these is supplemented by extensive work in Business Practice as based on actual happenings in the business world. One finishing this course can easily adapt himself to the practice of the particular business with which he is connected. ARITH METIC To meet a much felt need, a year of work in general arith- metic has been added and will be required of all seniors. Fol- lowing as it does the other mathematics of the course this work will be very beneficial. DOMESTIC SCIENCE A course in foods and cooking is offered in this department. The purpose of the course will be to teach the students the food value of plain foodstuffs and how to prepare them in the most scientific and economical manner. Pursuant to the principle adopted in the equipping of the Wood shop, the Board of Education has purchased for this de- partment only the best articles that money can buy. Each article is a masterpiece of its kind. This department has proved one of the most attractive features of our school- MANUAL TRAINING The Board of Education has made a special appropriation this year for the VVood Shop. Each pupil will be supplied with half-the material required for his course, but will be expected to purchase at least four dollars worth of material himself. The work in this department is being offered in the Freshman year. The Wood Shop is being equipped this year with more benches and tools of upto-date design. The student may gain both thoretical and practical ideas about using the tools neces- sary in Carpenter and Cabinet work- He will construct pieces which are useful either in the home or in the school. Accuracy. neatness, carefulness and thoroughness are insisted upon. AGRICULTURE A course in agriculture is due the patrons of every Town- ship High School, This is not the place to make a plea for scientific agriculture nor is it necessary to argue a proposition to which all are agreed- Our Annual Corn Day Program has done much to encouragea proper attitude toward tl1e'science that is first of all sciences and the art which is the base of all arts. A one year course will he offered with VVarren's text as a basis. The work will occupy two periods per day, one of which will be devoted to recitation on lessons assigned in the text book and the other to laboratory work and excursions. Special emphasis will be placed on the subjectof Animal Husbandry including types and breeds, score card judging, feeds and feeding-Soil Fertility including commercial fertilizers- VHLSEIHDHO EIHJ. barn-yard manure physical, and chemical properties of soils- Corn, including origin, varieties, score card judging, chemical composition- insect enemies, commercial uses and germination tests-Poultry. including origin, types and breeds, judging, feeds and feeding- poultry house construction, principles of in- cubation and practical experience in the management of the incubator and hrooder, Patrons are invited to send in milk, skimmed milk or cream for butter fat tests or corn for germination tests. This depart- ment will gladly furnish or secure information on any local agri- cultural problem. LITERARY EXERCISES The ability to appear before an audience or company and to give a clear and correct expression of one's thought is an art that should be coveted by every high school student. A Literary Society is conducted by the students of the high school and it is a requirement that each pupilshall take part four times during the year. Some credit in school work is given as a token of merit to the pupil performing creditably in rhetoricals. ANNUAL CORN DAY PROGRAM One of the events in the school calendar which seems to bring both pupils and patrons closer together is our Annual Corn Day Program. This year we are planning to have a very profit- able day when the practical value of vocational education will be shown to our patrons. Exhibits of corn and poultry grown by the pupils will be made- LYCEUM COURSE A course of entertainments of more than the usual high standard has been contracted for with the Redpath-Slayton Bureau. The purpose in conducting such a course is that a series of purposeful instructive entertainments may be provided which we think adds nota little to the value of the pupi1's school experience. To this end, the High School manages the course gratis, every cent collected being used for expenses. A larger attend- ance has meant a stronger course. This is by far the highest priced Lyceum Course ever contracted for in Marissa and although the standard of the entertainments has been raised the terms of admission will remain the same as last season- The course for 1914- I5 is as follows: American Quartette. .judge Geo. D. Alden. iWel1s W. Ginn, Monologist- lW- I. Nolan. Lecturer and Entertainer. ' Military Girls.
