A careful study of English curriculum conditions ip the secondary schools of the country has been made, also a specific study of our own high school condition and as a result this year we have a new curriculum or-- ; ganization in English.

The elective courses offered are: Literature An appreciative study and general knowledge course.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The mathematics department of our school has shown remarkable growth each year since the tiqie it was instituted. In 1918 there were but five students in the plane geometry class, while the algebra class consisted of but twenty students. Each consecutive year since that time the classes have practically doubled in number. In 1920 the in- structors devoted their entire time to mahemaics, but in 1922 some help was received from the commercial department, which took care of two of the classes. At the present time two instructors, Mr. Barnett and Samuel spend their entire time in the betterment of the mathematical de-- 1 parfment. This year the school boasts a class in trigonometry, and solid geometry,-larger class in plane geometry, and seven large classes in algebra. Correlated mathematics is also taught for the lower classes who feel unable to handle the general work. We have found not only a great increase in our elementary schools, but every department of the high school crowded to the limit, but we were compelled to turn many anxious students away as space would not permit them to register for this work. ART DEPARTMENT. One hundred students have been enrolled in the fine art classes and twenty-fiv- e in drafting. Each of these classes have shown great inter- est. The results of their labors are most gratifying. Work of excellent quality and beauty has been done, and a great deal of enthusiasm exhibited by every student. The major part of the art work has been done in charcoal, yet some strong and interesting material has resulted from the students above the first year. The oil painting students are showing good and healthy progress. The beginning students of art are now devoting their attention to lettering and poster work. This line of work has a very practical as well as artistic value. The drafting students are learning the technique of the drafting room and many are now able to produce plates of a high commercial value. The boys are very earnest in their work. This course offers instruction of vocational value in the professions of engineering and architecture as well as in the manual and mechanical arts. This year for the first time in- struction in drawing is being given to s enth and eighth grades.

This atttude is often encountered because the student realizes that fathers and mothers are sending their students to school by suffering hardships themselves, and if they can get a high school education and at the same time earn a living, they will be able to either continue school with colas lege or become their conditions permit. MISIC DEPARTMENT The music department of the school is making a splendid record as shown by its contribution to the chapel programs. A girls chorus, a boys chorus, a mixed chorus, a band, and an orchestra in which 130 students are enrolled is evidence of the activity of this department. DRAMATIC ART The dramatic art department of the school has been doing sone excellent work this year, especially in pantomime. The play, Penrod, will be produced at an early date and later a series of one-aplays will be presented. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT The laurels won in the past by our agricultural department have demonstrated its popularity and vocational values. This year the same enthusiasm is directing the activities g and another champon team is expected. DEBATING t AND PUBLIC SPEAKING This year for the first time we have an organized and accredited course in public speaking and debating and as a result are members of the state organization. Last seasons activities were crowned with unusual success. As a course in the development of leadership this course has exceptional value and our high school education must make room for leaders. up-to-da- te Storage Plant.

This year we are offering a course in French. Many students intending to continue into higher education have been anxiously awaiting this course. PHYSICAL EDUCATION It has been the aim of the Provo high school this year to provide some type of physical recreation for every student. Physical educaton has been made compulsory; and no student will be able to graduate without having some credit in this branch of school work. The board has provided ample equipment; wit'll a large gymnasium, a fine swimming pool and dressing rooms, so that it is very convenient for every one. WOODWORK DEPARTMENT The woodwork department of the senior high school is a busy shop. Almost 150 boys attend daily, most of them for forty-fiv- e minute periods, and a few for a double or 9 period. After the preliminary work consisting of exercises to acquaint the boys with the use of tools and lumber, mechanical drawing is practiced enough to give each boy an idea of how to produce a working drawing of the article he desires to make. The woodwork department installed this year in the junior high is g succeeding beyond expectation.
