Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gainesville High School 1915 The remaining three units are to be selected from the following: Mathematics: 1 or 2 units; U. S. History and Civics: 1 unit; English History: 1 unit; French: 2 units; Chemistry: 1 unit. Let us give our attention for a while to the different departments and see what constitutes these units offered. English is taught throughout the four years of the course; in the first and second years the structure of sentences, paragraphs, and compositions is studied along with several classics. In the junior year American literature and some classics - mostly American - are studied; while in the senior year English literature and classics are taken up. In connection with our English department it might be well to mention our library, to which are added more and more books as money becomes available. Of the mathematics, algebra and plane geometry, the only two required, are taken up in the ninth and tenth grades. Then there is a year of advanced algebra and also a half year of trigonometry and solid geometry each, for those who care to take it up. In history, as in mathematics, there are only two units required; those of ancient and medieval and modern being given in the first two years. Additional units can be secured in English history and United States history with civics. If we have any desire to travel, the modern languages open a new field to us. So far French is the only foreign language taught, but we are expecting German to be added to our curriculum before long. In connection with the languages, we find Latin placed as a help at all times. In the first year a thorough grounding of the essentials of forms and constructions is given; then the second year Caesar is pursued; the third year Cicero, and the fourth year Vergil, claims the student who takes the Latin course. But in the science course we have the best equipment and widest range found in all the departments of the high school. This year a thousand dollars has been spent on the science department alone, and next year will doubtless see many needed improvements along this, the most interesting side of a high school course. In the first year is taught a book embracing the essentials of botany, zoology, biology, physiology, chemistry, physics, and hygiene. The next year biology is taught as a separate text. But the next year comes the subject which delights many and terrifies others - physics. It is then we come into the privilege of going to the laboratory and working out for ourselves many things which are stated as so in the book but which we find much easier to see after several periods of work in the laboratory.
