ANNOUNCEMENT, 1924-1925 7
ACCOUNCEMENT
A new and thoroughly up-to-date Course of Study for the High School has been adopted. This eliminates many subjects heretofore selected by but a few students, oftentimes but poorly adapted to our conditions and usually taught in a perfunctory manner with the sole idea of obtaining a few "counts" easily. It compels a reduction in the number of subjects taught, giving the faculty more time to devote to classes, making larger classes and altogether encouraging better progress and more vital understanding. At the same time, it provides sufficient variety to enable students to prepare for either Normal or College Entrance.
The strongest effort will be made to vitalize the teaching of history and have its importance properly recognized.
A goodly sum was recently expended in building up the Library and Laboratory, and alsi in the Busy Work Aids for the Primary Department. These efforts will be continued this year.
The rooms are well supplied with wall maps to aid in teaching Geography and History. Additions will be made from time to time.
Drawing and Nature Study are required subjects in all grades.
Music is also a required subject in the grades and in the Academic Department. It is in charge of a trained music teacher.
Individual laboratory and note book work will be made a feature in all Science courses.
GENERAL REPORT OF SCHOOL YEAR 1923-1924
The many friends of Hobart High School will be interested, I am sure, in the record of facts of the past
