HISTORY DEPARTMENT History is one of the essential subjects in a High School Curriculum. Three years of this subject are offered to students in Prairie du Chien. It is a required subject for two years; and these two units are necessary to obtain admittance to the University of Wisconsin. The Sophomore and Junior years are devoted to the study of Ancient and Medieval history. American history is taken up in the Senior year, and in the latter half of the Senior year, the study of American government is combined with history to give the students a knowledge of the principles of our government.. In three years of history work Friday of each week is devoted to current topics touching the problems of today. These topics are selected either from the Literary Digest or some newspaper. The current topic days are beneficial to the students, not only as a break from heavier material but keeps them in touch with the topics of the day.

ENGLISH The happiest hour of the day— All the Freshmen seem to say— That dear old English is the best, But when it’s over,—then we rest. Patiently do the Freshmen study Description and Narration, and themes are brought in ranging from a description of Clarence’s pet dog to a story of one of Herndon’s marvelous escapades. Yet, every cloud has a silver lining. For who is there who doesn’t enjoy Ashmun’s Short Stories, “The Merchant of Venice” or “The Last of the Mohicans?” The Sophomores shine in Exposition and Debating. How much excitment when it comes to such mighty questions as “Resolved that a student who w'hispers should remain a half hour after school.” They plunge boldly into “Silas Marner,” emerge in a rather subdued state and attack “Julius Caesar.” Then “Ivanhoe”—isn’t it just wonderful? “For the Freshmen and Sophomore English is just fun But woe to the Junior And the next year to come.” “Oh! Henry D. Thoreau Whatever made you go To Walden?” That is the cry of the Juniors for who ever really liked “Walden” when he was a Junior in High ? but how nice it is when it is all over and you think of the heated debates in class; and that perhaps after all Thoreau did know something or other about v hat he was writing. And then the Senior year—without a doubt the best of all. There’s Chaucer and Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton, Johnson, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Burns, and Browning. Oh dear! If the Seniors were asked about how many authors were studied during the year, they would undoubtedly say, “About a Million.” But to relieve the heaviness of too much biography comes “Hamlet” and “As You Like It.” And then Palgrave’s “Golden Treasury.” How we all dote on poetry !

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT PHYSICS Physics is the only barrier between graduation and the Seniors. Because it is a required subject Seniors must pass this in order to receive their diplomas. Physics is a universal science. It deals in all forms of matter and states of motion. Since the whole universe is in motion and everything in the universe has matter, Physics must therefore, deal with all things and is therefore universal- Albert Jones BIOLOGY Biology is the pastime of the Sophomores. It replaces two subjects formerly taught, viz., Physiology and Botany. The elements of both are brought in through this subject- Biology, therefore, eliminates the necessity of teaching the two above mentioned studies, for half a year each. SCIENCE Science is taken by the Freshmen. Only elementary work touching on heat, light, food and its analysis, machines, sound, earth and its surface is taken up. The students are taught the bare facts in all these subjects, and merely make a beginning in the field of scientific research. It is a preparatory subject for more advanced work in this line such as is received in the Senior year. CITIZENSHIP This is another subject for the Freshmen, linked with Science I. in that Science is studied three days and Citizenship two days of the week-The primary purpose of the high school is to make good citizens out of its students and during the first year they are taught the duties of a citizen, besides something about the structure and workings of the government. VISUAL INSTRUCTION The impressions left by sight are stronger and last longer than those left by reading or hearing and sight is therelore a better educational agent. The equipment of the Science department has been increased and caused to be more effective by the addition of a system of visual instruction. Slides are received from the University on different subjects and these are exhibited and explained to the classes. Clement P. Lindner—’21. Page Ten
