Now that we know what courses in gen- eral are offered, let us see how they differ and in what respects they are alike. One must take English, health, gym, and Ameri- can history. In that respect they are alike. The technical requires three years of math and two years of science, the classical, four years of Latin, and the general academic, two years of a foreign language and two years of history. lf one chooses the shop course one must decide whether he will spend his half-day in auto, wood, or elec- tric shop. ln this industrial set-up mechan- ical drawing and shop math are substituted for the geometry of the academic courses. 7610 Uwmelaw Commercial courses offer one type of work for girls and one for boys. The girls are given a wide selection of electives includ- ing home economics. Their only require- ment other than English and physical train- ing is one year of bookkeeping. The boys have a wide selection also but are required to take one year of history and two years of bookkeeping besides the English and physi- cal training. Among the electives for all courses are music, public speaking and dramatics, and mechanical drawing besides any subject list- ed as a requirement in other courses. lt is thus that we are able to make our choice.
