Lawndale, North Carolina i 7 Root’s Methodical Sight Singing and Greene’s Standard Graded Course in Singing with other supplementary works are used. Band e have a good school band in which anyone who wishes may take part. Private lessons on any band instrument may be arranged for. Science The work done in science in the preparatory schools of the South is ordinarily more or less unsatisfactory for several reasons. Students usually try to complete their preparatory courses in the shortest possible time and the required work in the languages and mathematics crowd out other subjects; at the same time few, if any schools, possess the equipment requisite for obtaining good results in scientific studies. It is our purpose to make the most of our opportunities and to enlarge our facilities for better work from time to time. The following courses are offered: 1. —Agriculture: —Burkett, Stevens and Hill, or its equiva¬ lent. Actual field observation and experiment as opportunity affords. 2. — Physical Geography: —Maury or Tarr McMurray. 3. — Human Physiology and Hygiene :—Lippincott’s Phy¬ siology or Martin’s Human Body, Brief Course. 4. — Physics, with short study of Chemistry: —Higgins. The text in each subject will be supplemented by the teacher in original illustrations and the use of such apparatus as may be at hand or devised for the purpose. It is expected at an early day to have a set of apparatus for simple experiments in Physics and Chemistry.

i8 Piedmont High School BUSINESS DEPARTMENT This department of the school was established six years ago. Its progress has been steady, each year showing a satisfactory increase in attendance over the preceding year. There is no reason why a young man or young woman should attend a business college in a large city, where board and tuition are high, to receive a commercial education, when a course of equal value can be obtained in the high school, with the added advantage of the literary course for those who are deficient in this branch. Compare our rates of board and tuition with those of the leading business colleges and you will find ours to be just about half the amount they charge. All students of the Business Department have access to the school library and are required to join one of the literary societies. Shorthand and Typewriting We use Gregg Shorthand and Rational Typewriting in the Shorthand and Typewriting Department. The course consists of instruction in Shorthand, Typewriting, Business Correspon¬ dence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. Gregg Shorthand is by far the easiest to learn, easiest to write and easiest to read of any system of shorthand now in use. In the Fifth International Shorthand Speed Contest, held in Washington, March 28, 1910, writers of Gregg Short¬ hand won first, second and third places. Mr. Fred H. Gurtler, winner of the first place, exceeded the best previous record by 23 words per minute. Mr. Gurtler has since been elected president of the Chicago Law Reporters Association. The winner of second place, Mr. Charles L. Swem, a boy of seven¬ teen, established a world’s record for one of his age and experience. He now holds the world’s record for accur acy and third place for speed. Recognizing his ability as a reporter,
