Reactions of High-School Pupils to High-School Subjects. II

Abstract

5. What the pupils would leave out of the high-school curriculum if they had their choice.-A relatively small number of pupils answered the question with regard to what they would leave out of the highschool curriculum. In the vocational schools 491 pupils answered the question. Of this number, 23.6 per cent would leave out plane geometry; 20.6 per cent, Latin; 12.4 per cent, first-year algebra; and 1o.o per cent, general history. In the non-vocational schools 37.7 per cent of the 859 pupils answering the question would leave out Latin I; 16.o per cent, Caesar; 14.2 per cent, geometry; and 7.6 per cent, algebra. In other words, the subjects that 75.5 per cent of the pupils would leave out of the curriculum are Latin and algebra. The subjects that the remaining 24.5 per cent of the pupils would leave out are scattered among twenty different subjects. 6. The subjects the pupils would like to take but cannot get.Domestic science is most in demand by the girls among the 1,584 pupils in the vocational schools who indicated the subjects which they would like to take but which are not offered. French is second, followed by Spanish, typewriting, and bookkeeping. Among the boys, manual training is most wanted, with chemistry and Spanish next in demand, followed by typewriting and bookkeeping. In the non-vocational schools the subjects the boys would like to take are manual training, typewriting, shorthand, chemistry, and bookkeeping, the subjects being listed in the order of their frequency of mention. The subjects the girls most want are domestic science, French, typewriting, shorthand, Spanish, music, and bookkeeping. 7. Pupils' extreme reactions to certain subjects.-One of the questions asked of each pupil was, "Of all the subjects you have taken in
