Courses of Study - NARIS HIGH SCHOOL offers quite a complete course of study both to young people desiring commercial work and to students preparing for J college. Four years of English are required and in these four years under the direc- tion of six English teachers all work necessary for college entrance is completely covered. Two languages are taught. Latin and French. Two years of Latin are re- quired from students taking a college preparatory course, and two more may l e elected. Only two years of French are taught. Four history courses, ancient, modern and medieval, world, and American, each extending throughout the entire year, are offered in our high school. Ameri- can history is required in the fourth year; at least one year of European history is required in preparation for this. Students usually elect two years of history. Commercial students take a year of world history instead of the two years of an- cient and modern. In close connection with American History is civics, a half year subject which is required. A half year of economics and sociology is also offered. In the field of science our school offers a year of chemistry, one of physics, and a half year each of botany and zoology. A year of general science is required of all Freshmen. In the mathematics course a year of algebra and a year of geometry arc re- quired. A half year of advanced algebra and a half year of solid geometry are also offered. The commercial student has a varied array of subjects from which to choose, including spelling, penmanship, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, salesmanship, commercial law, geography, and arithmetic. Mechanical drawing, manual train- ing and agriculture also belong in this list of vocational subjects, as do cooking and sewing. A year of art, covering a variety of fields, is offered to those interested in such work. Music is also taught through girls’ and boys’ choruses and to a high school orchestra. The benefits of a class in public speaking are extended to students of our school if enough are interested to make such a class worth while. Two years of physical training are required of all students.
