School Courses Named
By R L. Clifton

Kodiak School Superintendent
 For a number of years the
 courses of study and the work
 done in the high school have
 been so shaped as to approach
 the goal of a school that will an- swer the needs of those who do not anticipate further education al preparation, and still furnish the necessary credits for college entrance. To accomplish this meant the offering of a rather ex- tenslve program. As the staff and the general physical equip ment were limited, this entailed the need for combining and al- ternating certain subjects. By combining is meant the merging of two classes of different years into one class thus enabling both teacher and pupil to do better work. An example of alternating subjects is the practice of offer ing English I and English III in the odd-numbered years, and English II and English " in the even-numbered years. In this method a pupil upon completing four years of high school work will have had four years of Eng fish thus more than meeting the requirements of the Territorial Board. In like manner General Science and Biology, Physics and Chemistry are alternated. Algebra 1 and Plane Geometry are also recommended subjects for attenuation, but upon trial the results obtained seemed to make it advisable to abandon this practice.
 Upon careful perusal of the Basic Program as recommended by the Territorial Board and published in a previous article, one gathers that the policy of the Board is to emphasize the academic and cultural courses rather than the vocational al- though the way is left open for those subjects if, and when, the enrolment and staff warrant their introduction. A real at- tempt to emphasize the vocation al subjects was made during the school year 1941-42, but owing to the onset of the war and the consequent withdrawal of great part of the high school

If, at the first meeting of the Alg. I class, the majority of the pupils wish to subst ute General Math. this will be done but those wish. ing to secure credit in Alg. I for college entrance will have to earn this in a later year. World History will be offered in grades g and 10 in the even-numbered years this, too, being a subject
