Lawndale, North Carolina 13 In the fourth year Wentworth ' s Plane and Solid Geometry will be completed. The object of this course is not only to prepare for college but to strengthen and develop the reason¬ ing power of those who may never have the privi¬ lege of a college education. HISTORY This course is broad and comprehensive. It is intended to be much fuller than merely to prepare for college. In the first year Ancient History will be studied and Mediaeval and Modern History will be begun. In the second year Mediaeval and Modern His¬ tory will be completed and English History will be begun. In the third year English History will be com¬ pleted and the History of the United States will be carefully studied. In the fourth year the History of North Caro¬ lina will be studied with care. BIBLE Systematic Bible study has been carried on at Piedmont for several years. The purpose of this study is to give to the student a first-hand knowl¬ edge of the things recorded in the Scriptures. The method used is an actual study of the Book itself; not facts about the Bible but facts from the Bible; not a system of interpretation but a regular, definite study of subject-matter. The regular classes meet daily throughout the entire session. The work in Course 1, Old Testament, is required of all grad¬ uates, and during the years 1912-1915 will form a part of the regular college entrance requirements
