sumed by Seniors, with an advanced text on American History, followed by a text on the development of political parties in the United States and the fun- damentals of civil government. MODERN LANGUAGES Courses are offered in French, Spanish, and German. Our teachers of these subjects are masters in their respective lines, and are able to make the language work full of interest to the pupils. The primary object of this de- partment is to give such instruction as will enable a student to read easily and intelligently the authors studied and to enjoy the literature of these lan- guages. The courses in French, German, and Spanish are designed to cover fully all college-entrance requirements. The work of the first course includes a careful study of pronunciation, grammar drill, abundant exercises in com- position, spelling, dictation, and reading of about 250 pages of prose, and short poems. The second course includes more advanced and detail study of syntax and construction, irregular verbs, much work in composition and conversa- tion, drill in phonetics, written reports in the language, and the reading of at least 400 pages of modern prose, including in French such authors as Hugo, De Maupassant, Dumas, and Daudetg in Spanish, Alarcon, Benaventes, Valera, in German, Benedix, Bernhardt, Storm, Wildenbruch, Frommel, etc. The courses are intended to give the student not only a theoretical knowledge and reading ability, but also a practical grasp of everyday French, German, and Spanish. In Spanish commercial correspondence is emphasized, in German and French the cultural and scientific phases are emphasized. SCIENCE The work in Science includes Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. A standard text in each subject is pursued throughout the year. The teacher questions the pupils on the subject matter assigned each day, and dem- onstrates the principles contained therein by lecture-table demonstrations. Laboratory work is carried forward in connection with all Science courses. Students in the Biology, Physics, and Chemistry classes are required to do individual laboratory work, keep accurate notebooks, and record all ex- periments. Original exercises and problems are assigned to bring out more clearly the principles involved and to arouse interest in the vocational aspects of the subjects. LATIN We urge all our pupils whose ages and circumstances will permit to get a thorough course in Latin. We offer four years' work in this subject, embracing Beginner's Latin, Cmsar, Cicero, Virgil, or Ovid. Systematic grammar and composition work is carried in connection with Caesar and Cic- ero, while a study of Greek and Roman myths accompanies the Virgil work. Page Forty-Five
