POSTGRADUATE CLASS At
ALLEN ACADEMY.

For the benefit of some of our
graduates of last year who will
return to the Academy for an
other years work, and for any
Others desiring this higher
course, we will organize a post
graduate class. The course will
include higher English and lit
erature, Latin, German or Span
ish, and college Freshman math-
ematiCs.
In this connection, we wish 10
call attention to the advantages
of the course offered in German.
Prof. Moers speaks German as
his native tongue, and he uses
the conversational method of in
struction. The higher course in
Latin will cover ground neces-
sary for a fourth entrance unit
in Latin. 1t will be especially
valuable for students who feel
the need of additional Latin be-
fore going to college.
There is a growing demand,
especially in Texas, for Spanish
and a knowledge of this Ian
guage will be of great value not
only to scholars, but to business
men in the future.
We wish to call attention also
to our course in debating. In
former years the principals have
had great success in training
boys In debate. II Is our pur.
pose to lay emphasis on this
work during the coming session
and to make it a very valuable
course.
Special students will be re.
ceived in any Of the above sub.
jects.
