Concerning the variety of courses offered, the board has the fol lowing to say in their booklet, "Course of Study and Announce ment" which was recently issued from this office: "In order that students and patrons may not feel that the school requires subjects that are useless and unnecessary to their best interest, the number of re quired subjects has been consider ably decreased and the privilege of election on the part of the students lias been extended. In granting this privilege the faculty has exer cised caie to offer no elective sub ject that will lower tho standard of the school. There are six distinct courses offered, viz: English, Scientific, Commercial, Normal, Domestic Science and Art, and Manual Training. Besides the courses mentioned above, courses in public speaking and debate will be offered Any student who desires to elect the study of music and devote one hour each day to practice will re ceive two semester credits each year for same.
