Qcontinued from Page 133 The curriculum in 1901 included ling- lish, French, German, Latin, Greek, mathe- matics, history, science, and freehand draw- ing. Greek dropped out years ago, and Spanish and Russian were added in turn. From time to time, new departments of in- struction have been established and in every department new courses have been added and others dropped in the effort to keep curricular offerings up to date. Now, I6 departments of instruction give 270 courses in -I-7 subjects. The comprehensive high school of today is expected to accommodate practically all of the youth of the community and to pro- vide suitable programs of study for a wide range of abilities, interests, and motivations. At New Trier this has meant the elabora- tion of courses, the thoroughgoing practice of ability or subject-level grouping, and care- M'R. R. Sv MR. II. G. SXVAIX MR. R. A. HARPER MR. D. XV. MR. V.

Failures have been reduced to a negligible amount, yet 92? of the graduates go on to college, where about 70W of them stay through graduation and many perform bril- liantly. The adviser system is almost as old as New Trier. After early experiments in as- signing faculty members as sponsors for groups of 12 to 15 students, the home room idea began to take effect in 1912. ln 1923, when Frederick lf. Clerk became superin- tendent, a thorough reorganization of the system was accomplished and the whole plan was named the adviser system. lfarlier, some women had been advisers to boys' groups, but in 1923 men advisers were assigned to boys' groups and women ad- visers to girls' groups. That practice has continued for 37 years. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the adviser system is the selection of the members of each adviser group by the fresh- man adviser chairmen. Great care is exer- cised to see that in each adviser group there is a cross-section of the student population. This insures that a student will benefit from the experience of working with a varied group of people. The adviser system, in addition to being a primary means of achieving home and school cooperation, is the key to the internal organization of the school and the management of a large num- ber of students as separate persons. College counseling, always an integral part of the work of advisers, adviser chair- men, and deans, has become more special- ized. The increasing competitiveness of col- lege admissions and the growing task of ad- vising large numbers of students have caused the school to establish two adminis- Ccontinued on Page 2-ll MR. 1 IIUNDQ Director.
