JN , NL, , Y tj.. 4 K vi: X A f I 'LJ' I rg ' Academic Department Since we must accept it as a fact that men do long to understand the problems of reason, to master the details of science, and to appreciate beautiful things, and that we admire and love the men who hold these strange desires, we will lay down that a fuller education be given in our schools. The liberal education provides man with a rich understanding of people, of the world, for it deals with man's whole nature, as he has been in the past, and will be in the future: it makes him realize that society itself, as Milton has said. requires some other contribution from each individual, be- sides the particular duties of his profession. It is the liberal education that provides the background for every member of the high school faculty, no matter what he teaches, and thus enables us to have a school at all. It is that sort of knowledge which is the basis of the highest ideals of service for humanity. Therefore it is practical. The good that comes with a liberal education is always useful. The Academic Department is the nucleus of all departments and all other courses are built and centered about it. The department gives the high school graduate excellent college preparation and also lays a foundation for success in the business world in any trade or profession. The general and classical courses are included in this department. The Classical Curriculum is designed to prepare the student for a broad education and for entrance to a regular college course. Credit requirements for this course are as follows: English 8 units, Latin 6. Mathematics 6, History and Civics 2, Industrial or Household Arts 2, Gym- nasium Z, and Electives 7. The General Curriculum offers opportunity to those who may or may not desire to enter college or who are not certain about the sort of work they will follow after graduation. It offers a greater choice in elective studies than the other courses. Credit requirements for the General courses are: English 8 units, Mathematics 5, Industrial or Household Arts 2, History and Civics 2, Science 2, Gymnasium 2, and Electives 13. That the students are vitally interested in the subjects taught in this depart- ment can be seen by the number of clubs formed to further interest and to stimulate a further research of the subject. 15
