Hosick A.B., Denison Univ., A.lVl.,UniV of Chicago American History and Civics The Social Science Department aims to give the students a better under- standing of modern life and our World's many activities. The studies in this department, which are con- cerned With the entire scope of human affairs, are designed to be of practical use to the students as members of hu- man society and as American citi- zens. The history courses offered from the sophomore year through the senior year survey the development of his- tory from ancient times to the present. General history gives a resume of world history from ancient times to our modern ageg however, the most stress is placed on the more modern phases of this subject. The modern history course includes a much more detailed description of history from the sixteenth century to the present. This deals mostly with European events and provides an excellent foundation for American history and civics, a required course, which is presented in the senior year. The his- tory traces the story of the American people, from Columbus to Roosevelt. ln close connection is the course in civics, which aims to explain how America is governed, what the rights and duties of American citizens are, and what political problems face the voters. Especially in these times of changing governments and great po- litical experiments is an intelligent ap- preciation of American government needed. Twenly-.fix

Biology French, German The foreign languages offered in Newark High School are Latin, French, and German. These are elective in the Commercial, and Industrial Cours- es, but four years are required in the College Preparatory Course. These four years may be all Latin or com- binations of the three languages. First-year Latin acquaints the stu- dents with the fundamentals of gram- mar and a basic vocabulary. The work of the first semester of the sec- ond year is a continuation of the first year, while the second semester com- prises the study of Caesar's Commen- taries. ln third-year Latin, the stu- dents read Cicerog and in the fourth year, they read the first six books of Vergil's Aeneid. Project work by the students has been stressed. First-year French is made up largely of drill and foundation work, with ele- mentary grammar and vocabulary work being stressed. in the second year a more intensive and extensive reading course is completed with the reading of French literature of all types. Some students correspond with boys and girls in France, while others compile an outline of French litera- ture. Two years of German are offered to the students. The first year is de- voted largely to drill in pronunciation and elementary grammar. Enlarge- ment of vocabulary and knowledge of civilization are gained from the read- ing lessons. The second year contin- ues the grammar drill, including the passive voice and subiunctive mood. Tweniy-eight
