School Courses Named
_ i
By R L. Clifton
Kodiak School Superintendent
For a number of years the
courses of study and the work
done in the high school have
been so shaptd as to approach
the goal of a school that will an
swer the needs of those who do
not anticioate further education
al preparation, and still furnish
the necessary credits for college
entrance. To accomplish this
meant the offering of a rather ex
tensive program. As the staff
and the general physical equip
ment were limited, this entailed
the need for combining and al
ternating certain subjects. By
combining is meant the merging
of two classes of different years
into one class thus enabling both
teacher and pupil to do better
work. An example of alternating
subjects is the practice of offer
ing English I and English III in
the odd-numbered years, and
English II and English IV in the
even-numbered years. In this
method a pupil upon completing
four years of high school work
will have had four years of Eng
lish thus more than meeting the
requirements of the Territorial
Board. In like manner General
Science and Biology, Physics
and Chemistry are alternated.
Algebra I and Plane Geometry
are also recommended subjects
for alternation, but upon trial
the results obtained seemed to
make it advisable to abandon
this practice.
Upon careful perusal of the
Basic Program as recommended
by the Territorial Board and
published in a previous article,
one gathers that the policy of
the Board is to emphasize the
academic and cultural courses
rather than the vocational al
though the way is left open for
those subjects if, and when, the
enrollment and staff warrant
their introduction. A real at
tempt to emphasize the vocation
al subjects was made during the
school year 1941-42, but owing
to the onset of the war and the
consequent withdrawal of a
great part of the high school
this was not very successful.'
From this experience and the
recommendations of the Board
the following courses of study
for the Kodiak High School have
been selected as best answering
the needs of the majority of the
pupils of the community. This
does not mean that the course
is rock-ribbed and unchangeable,
but that it may and will be a
dapted to meet the changing de
mands of the coming years.

school year indicated. If,
at the first meeting of the Alg. I
class, the majority of the pupils
wish to subst lute General Math,
this will be done but those wish
ing to secure credit in Alg. I for
college entrance will have to
earn this in a later year. World
History will be offered in grades
