Excerpt from The Commercial Program of Studies for High Schools Throughout the entire civilized world records and correspondence are coexistent with commercial transactions and are used in various ways other than commercial. In fact, the time has arrived when instruction in keeping simple accounts, the general principles of business and the use of the typewriter should be a part of the education of every boy and girl, and comparatively few there are who enter commercial life who, at some point in their career, will not find shorthand useful in their progress, if not, indeed, all their lives. The use of these subjects is universal; instruction in them should be equally universal. Place of Subjects in Curriculum Four Year - High School General Subjects The place of general subjects in the commercial program of studies will be determined by their place in other programs of the school. General Commercial Subjects In some schools commercial geography is given in the second year and in others in the first year. It is the writer's opinion that this subject should be broken up into two courses, giving elementary economic geography in the first year and transportation and markets in the second year. A large amount of laboratory work should be given in these courses. Commercial arithmetic is usually given in the first or second year. It is well also to give some advance commercial arithmetic and review in the senior year. Commercial law may be given profitably either in the junior or senior year, likewise business organization and administration, and credits and collections. However, it is preferable to have commercial law precede and credits and collections. Technical Commercial Subjects Typewriting may be offered as early as the seventh year, and at least one year of it should be required of all commercial students. If its is begun in the seventh year, more than one year of typewriting should be required. In the secretarial course typewriting should be taken each year that shorthand is studied. The year in which shorthand is introduced will depend upon the purposes to be served and local conditions. In some schools it is begun in the ninth year, in other tenth, and in still others in the eleventh year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The High-School Program of Studies While the purpose of the bulletin is primarily to determine some of the underlying principles of the high-school program of studies, yet such related problems as over-taxing pupils, over taxing teachers, the introduction of sciences, and vocational 'subjects, the assignment of teachers, the advantages of the small high school, etc., will be briefly treated. As a conclusion from the discussion a few type programs will be presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Making a High School Program The public is devoting more and more of its treasure to the school, particularly to the high school. The high school principal has a responsibility for the economy and efficiency of his school organization. Care and economy mean more funds for education. We might raise salaries on what is now wasted. In industry, with rising labor costs has come greater attention to individual economies. The school cannot escape the tendency. Does the high school principal know whether or not he is getting full efficiency from his organization? Is the work evenly divided? Are teachers overworked or underworked? Are pupil divisions evenly constructed? Are program difficulties solved? The high school principal needs in his equipment the engineers capacity. He is an educational engineer. The high school program, indeed, is an engineering problem. No system of making a high school program on the trial-and-error method is defensible. From mathematical reasons it must be faulty. No purely mechanical method of making a program is adequate, for the result is wrong and the pupils and teachers are the necessary victims. A high school program must be scientifically constructed if it is to be accepted as adequate to the situation presented. Poor high school programs are responsible today for great waste of money in the employment of unnecessary teachers, in the uneven distribution of work, in preventing pupils' range of choice of subjects, and in unnecessary worry and confusion throughout the organization. The professionally trained high school principal can easily find a way out of the program difficulties. The struggle against this universal problem has developed some program geniuses, and their discoveries are not esoteric but open and free to those who wish to adopt their ideas.

Excerpt from Programme of Studies for the High School: Bulletin II; Prescribed Courses in English (Including Creative Writing), Art, Dramatics, Music The English courses of the high school are intended to lead the pupil to higher levels of achievement in the skills, knowledge, and appreciation begun in the English instruction of the elementary and intermediate schools. The general aims of the teaching of English are the same for all grades. As the teachers of high school English begin where the teachers of intermediate school English leave off, it is suggested that all teachers of high school English should read carefully the introduction to the courses in English on the Programme of Studies for the Intermediate School in order to become familiar with the specific aims and outcomes of courses that serve as a foundation for those of Grades X, XI and XII. The following is a statement of the basic ideas which governed the construction of the English courses for the high school.

Excerpt from A Study of Commercial Education in the Public Junior and Senior High Schools in Rhode Island: Thesis Foresighted and progressive commercial teachers have known for some time that the courses and subject content of the commercial curriculum are not meeting the needs of the pupils beyond certain restricted limitations. These teachers recognize the need of bringing the objectives of commercial education into closer harmony with general objectives of education, the possibilities that the commercial curriculum offer for establishing utili tarian and social courses, and the very evident need for the reorganization of the curriculum to accomplish these aims. An initial step in the reorganization of the commercial curriculum is to examine the commercial programs now used in the various schools of the State. It is the pur pose of this study to present the status of commercial education in the State of Rhode Island. Possibly many valuable and interesting details of commercial education are not included, Since the study has been delimited in order that the material presented may be confined to the definite objectives of the problem.
