Vocational competence is an important aim in typewriting, stenogrophy, book- keeping, and their allied subjects. Instruction in industrial arts and related subjects, such os mechanical drawing and shop math, is intended to develop a knowledge of, and skills in, the use ot machine tools in woodworking and metal working. The development of this competence is intended to have a vocational, as well as an ovocational, value. The courses in home economics provide an oppor- tunity for the girls to develop skills in the preparation and serving of foods, and competence in the various areas of sewing.

The program of social studies is intended to develop the skills and competency necessary tor informed and active citizenship. The two-year United States History and Govern- ment course now replaces the program of one year of history and one year of Problems of American Democracy. This provides the students with an opportunity for a more thorough study of the history of the country together with the philosophy and structure of our governmental system. A tour-year program of Ancient, Modern and United States History and Government is required of all pupils following a program for post-secondary preparation. There is also a four-year sequence of Civics, Economic Geography, United States History, and Problems of American Democracy for all terminal pupils. .la Mr. John S. Blonchon Mrs. Ann L.

L Recent developments in the fields of instruction in mathematics and science have resulted in changes in curricular structure as well as course content in these areas. We now offer four years of mathematics beyond Algebra l, and a four-year science program beyond General Science. Though these sequences allow for advanced studies, they are not now organized along the lines of the formal Advanced Placement Service. The new struc- ture provides to pupils with special abilities and interests in the fields of Mathematics and Science, opportunities for advanced or concentrated study in the secondary program. The traditional sequences, with interest modified in the light of recent changes, are still offered in the regular preparation for the terminal pupils. Mr. John Hayes Miss Elaine F.
