Teachers' Convention Outlines New General Course
R Gunson outlines a new general education course aimed at providing an education comparable to matriculation. He calls it a course with teeth not for weaker students and not second to matriculation. The plan emphasizes a largely academic program with eight subjects per year and two-year duration, reserving 18 percent of classroom time for literature and composition in the first two years and 12 percent in the final year, with physical education compulsory.
