Entering the building by the main
entrance (west) and turning left down
the main corridor, the first classroom
on the east side will be the senior
mathematics room. Here will be
taught the mathematics of grades XI,
XII and XIII.
The next adjoining classroom will
be the junior mathematics room and
will be used for the mathematics
classes of grades IX and X.
Both these rooms will have black
boards .on 3 walls and plenty of tack
board for display., work. Under the
expanse of windows, on the- east side
bookshelves will hold reference books
and illustrative material.
Rooms 3 and 4, Modem Languages
5 ! •
The modern language department
will occupy two standard class-rooms
in our. new higjh schooL The only
modern language offered in pur school
at present is French. Ail students are
required to make a little acquaintance
with it in Grade IX.
If they find that they have Ijnquistic
aptitude, they may continue the study
for the full five years -of the course.
It is significant that French is in
cluded among the entrance .require
ments of a majority of our institutions
of higher learning; and rightly so, in a
land where it is the mother tongue of
about one quarter of our people, a
group which has contributed to our
national and cultured life, at least a
.fair share of eminent statesmen,
writers and, artists. Knowledge of and
interested in the French language by
us English speaking Canadians will
benefit Canadian
useful also in a
travel, business,
newspaper work.
Aside from the normal classroom
equipment of books, writing materials
and blackboards (all of. which are in
“almost constant rise in French classes)
there is some other equipment which
is useful. Recordings have been made
.by native-born French teachers of
some of the reading lessons from the
present text books, and of passages
for dictation., Indeed, a recorded pas
sage of dictation is now a regular
feature of the senior matriculation'
examination. The tape recorder also is
a useful adjunct to language study;
,,and wall displays of maps of French
and pictures of famous buildings and
scenes- are made in the hope, of add
ing a note of further interest to the
-study.
Room 5—Social Studies
Geography is one of the most inter
esting of the sciences. It has many
branches but our curriculum emphas
izes human geography, i.e. the physic
al environment and its effect on the
activities of the people. In Grade IX
we study Africa, Australia and the
British Isles and in Grade X North
and South America.
The printed page is supplemented
by maps, charts and pictures. Modern
methods of transportation and closer
trade relationship have brought these
countires so much nearer that they
are no longer considered far-away
lands. The fact that many Canadian
doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers, en
gineers, architects and business men
are living in these lands and contri
buting to their development stimu
lates our interest in this human aspect
of geography.
The social studies rooms will be situ
ated at the north end of the corridor.
History and geography are now
taught separately in gr. 9 and 10. Next
year, however, it is hoped that these
two subjects will be combined. Geog
raphy is not taught after grade 10.
Most educators believe that the history
of a region should be taught only
after the student has a thorough
knowledge of its geography. Thus,
new text books have been recently
published, and are now in use through
out most of the schools in Ontario.
These books deal jointly with the his
torical and geographical aspects of a
i region. There will, therefore, be no
i separate geography department in the
unity and can be
practical way in
politics, radio and
new school. A history department will
exist because history is a prerequisite
subject in Grades 11, 12 and 13.
Room 6—History
The history taught in Grades 11 and
12 covers the period from the begin
ning of civilization t,o the present. The
grade 11 course ends at ’ the middle
of the 18th century and covers rough-,
ly the portions known as ancient and
mediaeval history, Grade 12 history
can therefore be termed modern his
tory. f)ue to its wide scope an, inten
sive study of the course is Impossible,
but by careful selection and emphasis
of topics and events, it is hoped that
the student will receive an apprecia
tion, of man’s struggle toward .political,
social and economic well being.
The grade 13 history deals with
North America and is primarily con
cerned with the growth of political
and economic institutions in the Un
ited States and Canada/ Special ^em
phasis is placed Upon Canada's growth
toward nationhood and the importance
of her contribution to international af
fairs.
It is the aim of eadh teacher to so
instruct that the students taking the
history courses will, on completion,1
have achieved an appreciation of * the
problems of present,.and past.ages;,
and. be more fully fitted, to take his. or
her« place as a responsible ‘citizen in
the community of which he forms a
part
Room 7—Latin, World History
In Room Seven, Latin (Grades X to
XIII inclusive) and world history, part
one (grade XI) will be taught “A
language does • not - cease to live- ■ be
cause it ceases to be1 spoken; The in- ■
fluence .of .Latin js .still Jiving In, our
own tongue, our thought,our.,feeling,’
our institutions, our law, our religion,;
our politics”.. The study of Latin and ;
world history enables the student, to 1
understand not only the language; and
customs of his own, country, but’ also
those of all. countries speaking-. Ro-,
mance languages. For the work in
these subjects, therefore; the follow
ing aims will be kept in mind:
1. Development of historical and cul
tural background.
2. Development of correct mental ha
bits.
3. Increased ability to read, speak and
write English.
4. Increased .. ability to learn
foreign languages.
5. Character development.
Rooms 8 and 9, and. Library ,
Rapidly nearly the, ^completion stage,
in the wing of the new High School
are three modern classrooms to be
devoted to the study of English. The
importance of English on the High
School curriculum has never been un
derestimated by the Department of

'Education. English is on the course of
study, in every grade from nineto,
•thirteen. The study Of English -in
grades nine and ten is. largely ^general
in nature since a larger proportion pf
students leave, school in. their first
two years. In grades eleven, twelve
and thirteen the courses become pro-:
gressively more intensive, as.students
in these grades will probably go on
to specialize in some field, or attend
University.
A step forward in cultivating better
reading tastes will be a new modern
library offering the student a wide
range of reading material. As well as
being a library this room can be used
as a study room or as another class
room should the need arise. The other
two rooms, both classrooms, will be
used for senior English, including
grades eleven, twelve and thirteen
and junior English in grades nine and
ten. The new Wingham fDistrict High
School has adequate facilities for the
teaching of English.
