East High Solves German Problem with New Language Plan
East High will start French and Spanish in the second semester on Feb 4 with 80 in French and 60 in Spanish classes. No new German classes will be organized as interest remains nil. Emma Holton of the University of Kentucky is hired to teach French and Spanish. The curriculum shifts to largely elective, expanding vocational options and study choices, with physics and English and American history remaining largely compulsory. The physics program uses separate boys and girls texts and emphasizes practical applications. The commercial department expands with a new instructor overseeing bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic as three teachers handle business studies.
