Each teacher saw in the Junior year an opportunity for better in her department, and plans were made with enthusiasm which were intended culminate in a course, not of a college grade it is true, but far better than that to We hoped the new course, requiring one more term, given in most high schools. would materially raise the grade of the school, since it was introduced at the point when a student's mind has begun to show the results of the training in the lower classes, and she was thus fitted to grasp more advanced subjects with intelligence.
