The new course OF study for the
grades and High school department
has been completed and contains in
full the rules and regula atoms which
govern the public schools and an
outline OF the work as pursued
throughout the entire system.
The object in tile revision OF the
cd course of study for the grades
has not been to extend or in any
way enlarge the scope of the work
formerly outlined: but merely to ar
range more definitely, to ampliiy
and to adapt to existing circum-
stances the work OF each grade as
set forth in the original manual.
The new manual is intended to fur
nish connected plan of the entire
system IF instruction and thus to
secure and maintain uniformity Of
results throughout the grades.
In remodelin% the courses for High
school work especial attention has
been paid to the interests OF each
class of students in attendance.
The Latin and Literary courses
are arranged to meet the needs of
those who intend pursuing college or
university work and cover the re-
Quirements for entrance into the
scientific and literary courses OF the
State University.
The English course is designed for
students whose educa tional training
ends with the High school and ill.,
cludes, besides work in mathema tics,
science, history and literature,
studies, such as bookkeeping, civics
and political economy. which APP
peal more directly to those wishing
a practical education.
1t will he noted upon exanina ton
of the courses that in the senior year
OF the English course time is given
to a more scientific study Of. arith-
metic, U. S. history, English gram
mar and geography, which studies
had been completed in the seventh
and eighth grades. The object OF
this arrangement is to give to thof e
who intend becoming teachers in dis.
trict schools, and to those who ex.
pect to enter Immediately upon bust.
ness pursuits, a more thorough IN.
derstanding Of the common branches
than they can possibly acquire at al
earlier period in their school work.
1t is hoped and earnestly desired
that parents will study closely the
advantages and opportunities of.
tered by our High school. AMI that
every effort will he used to persuade
the young people who have but
partially completed their high schoo
courses, or who have overlooked the
benefits Of an education, to return t(
school this year and resume thei1
studies.
The fact should never be forgOttc,
that the best and most valuabl,
legacy y parent can leave his child
is thorough educa ton. And TIN
young man and young woman O
today should ever bear in mind tina
if they would attain the end which
> they seek they must equip themse,ve
for their work. 1t may and vii
require the spending OF a year or s,
at present in hard study, and eve
the possible sacrifice of few meas or
. dollars that could be othervis
earned: but the time and labor thu
5 spent will be amply rewarded by tn
richer and greater possibilities whic
are thereby afforded
