The junior class, for the last five years, at least, has taken up the study of the history of English Literature. Along with this the class usually reads three classics during each semester. For the last five years the state has prescribed a technical study of the tale and the short story as types of Fic- tion. The fourth year takes up the study of American Literature with about three classics for each semester. ln the Senior year the tendency is constantly becoming more pro- nounced to introduce more specialized study of Dramatics and Debate. This, of course, in the small high school must mean the exclu- sion of some of the other more important sub- jects. At least, we believe them to be more important. However, through the four years, we try to perpetuate a consistent course in oral com- position which will gradually increase in scope and difficulty until all the common forms'of oral discourse have been taken up and made familiar to the student. Again, in speaking of the limitations of a school of this size, we need scarcely point out that the scope of the work cannot possibly be so broad as in a school of larger attendance or more numerous faculty. Still. in this regard we feel that no apology need be offered. If the student has acquired some standards for judgment in selecting his literature, the plays he sees, or the music he hears, we shall feel well repaid for the time and pains spent. GENERAL SCIENCE General Science brings many questions to the minds of parents and new students. They wonder what it is, and why it is. ln this class an effort is made to explain many of the phenomena which are seen every day. To do this much of our time is taken up in reading the theory of these. much time is taken up in working experiments to prove these statements. and frequent trips to the Eelds, woods, and streams are taken to find specimens for first-hand information. The result of this course is that the stu- dents learn many helpful things, they become interested in scientific study, and the doors of science are opened to them. HOME ECONOMICS Good taste is essentially a moral quality. The first, the last, and the closest trial ques- tion to any living creature is, what do you like? And the entire object of education is to not merely make people do the right things, but to enjoy the right things. NVhat we like determines what we areg and to teach taste is inevitably to form character. The Indiana law defines Home Economics as any education which fits for occupation connected with the household. The Home Economics given in the regular schools should be organized and conducted so it would accomplish the following results: .First, it should give to our young people a more in- telligent appreciation for the important and fundamental occupation of home-makingg sec- ond, it should prepare them so far as possible for efficient and economical work in the home. The chief purpose of this instruction is to give the pupils as much help as possible for solving the problems that are actually encountered in doing home work. Artfully planned instructions and actual practice must go hand in hand if efficient re- sults are to be attained. Witllciut this actual practice or work on the problem the reading and the theoretical instructions will be barren and meaningless. It is not the aim to present in a systematic way a body of knowledge about cooking, sewing and other subjects pertaining to the homeg but to bring scientihc principals and the best practices to bear on the problems actually encountered in the average home, to the end that these problems may be solved in a more economical and efficient way. BOOKKEEPING In this subject the pupil is introduced to the elementary principles of accounting. The course is open to juniors and Seniors. After some preliminary instruction the pupil is given actual business practice-the buying and sell- ing of merchandise, the copying of invoices, the writing of notes. bills, and checks. the keeping of a bank account, and the taking of trial balances. and statements. Enough instruction in commercial arithme- tic and commercial law are given to enable the pupil to carrv on the work in business practice successfully. The ordinary pupil will be enabled by this course to keep the accounts of a small retail establishment or a small manufacturing plant. Page TWCHIY-SEVEN
