nv... ..-: 1:31 LVLLIZW HE English department of Rockford High School is probably the largest ill the school. Lfnder this head- ing are included Uratory, Argmnentation, Pedagogy, and Teacher's English, ln the first year the lfreshmeu are taught the proper con- struction of sentences. They are required by most of the teachers to write weekly themes in order that they may learn to state their thoughts clearly and concisely. Con- siderable reading is crowded in. as, Stevenson's Treasure Island , ln the XYilderness , The Ancient Mariner , and others. The second year's work is along the same line, with, of course, slightly advanced standards- Julius Caesaru is the main reading, while Ivanhoe , Mannion , and The Three Narrative Poems keep the poor Sophomores busy. American Literature is taken up in the third year. lt is the endeavor of the teacher, generally well accomplished, to bring an example of every prominent American author into class. The year is devoted almost entirely to read- ing, with the regular weekly themes and the monthly tests to vary the monotony. During the fourth year the Seniors are required to malce an outline of the development of the English Dramas, as Z1 good beginning for the study of English Literature. As in the preceding year, examples from the best authors are read. The work is finished with llurke's Speech O11 Con- ciliation with the American Colonies . ln connection with this, debating and briefmaking is taken up quite extensively. There is ,one class of Teachers English, in which Mrs. Stevens teaches the pupils how to teach English, grammar reading, and so forth. The class in Pedagogy is along the same lines, only that it is more inclusive. Reading, writing, geography, all tl1e things taught in the grade school, are studied in this class. Fifteen
