The High School Preparatory Course These courses are planned for two classes of students: those who have not had a complete grammar school educa- tion and therefore need a drill in the common branches, secondly, those who have not received their education in America and therefore need training in English. Thorough, practical education is the aim. TIME OF ENTRANCE . It should lbe noticed that these courses do not begin un- til the first of January. This is the time to enter. REGULAR COURSE The Regular Course includes: Bible Reading Penmanship Spelling Arithmetic English Grammar The work in this course is similar to that done in the seventh and eighth grades of Public School. This course, however, not only offers opportunities to the person who WlSheS to enter our High School Department or Business Department, and has neglected his grammar schOol educa- tion, but also has a direct practical value for young people who plan to take Civil Service examinations that require a thorough preparation in the common branches, such as Railway Mail Clerks. 28
