In the work of the school during the past year there have been few important changes. The subjects taught this year are arithmetic, algebra, geometry, book-keeping, grammar, rhetoric, English literature. Latin. French. history and physical geography.
No attempt is made to teach all subjects during each school year, but rather to so group studies as to diminish the number of classes and yet to give each pupil opportun- ity to elect any study at some time during his four-year course. 1
24
Pupils cannot be given proper instruction in the sciences, physics and chemistry, until rooms are specially fitted for that purpose. Until that is done we must continue to neglect a very valuable element in the training of the pupil.
High Schools have recently come to be recognized as much more than the means of preparing boys and girls for college. They finish the school education of a large major- ity of pupils. It is this majority that the High School should aim especially to serve rather than the very few who have the opportunity of a college course. A proper appre- ciation among parents and voters of the worth of a High School training to the average boy or girl will do much in securing a hearty co-operation in our work.
We wish to call the attention of parents to the necessity of at least two hours a day of home study on the part of each High School pupil. Such home study, with regular attendance and a serious disposition to regard his school work as the pupils' chief business, will help greatly in securing the results we are striving for.
Respectfully submitted, ALLISON G. CATHERON.
