Book excerpt: Excerpt from Course of Study and Manual of Instruction Gentlemen: -I herewith present a copy of the Course of Study now used in the schools under your charge and respectfully call your attention to the desirableness of having it printed. This course has grown up in the schools. It is therefore a development, a result of class-room work, and is, as nearly as it can practically be made, an exact copy of the work now done. The class that will enter the high school at the close of the current year will have completed the work of the nine grades preceding the high school course, with the single exception of the last three months of Plant work. Succeeding classes will complete the entire course without difficulty. Much of the work, as you know, is done without prescribed textbooks in the hands of the pupils. It is believed, however, that, if you should at any time think best to have pupils use tcxt-books in more studies than now, the details, herewith submitted, in print, will be of great assistance to teachers-enough to warrant their publication as a manual. This is not an oral course, except so far as it applies to pupils too young to read. Our pupils use books more, and much more intelligently, now than when lessons were assigned them from prescribed tcxt-books. As the use of prescribed texts but limits the extent and value of the pupils' book work, there is the more need of a definite outline of what should be accomplished in each subject by each grade of pupils. The time and care given to this course of study during its growth warrant the belief that its various parts are so arranged as to be readily adjusted to the changing and growing needs of a vigorous school.
