General Statement
HISTORY or TllE St‘lltml.

The high school of the University of Kentucky was organized in
Septctnber. 1918. During the school year 1.918719, the school was under
the partial control of the Boaid of Education of Lexington. The teach-
ers and pupils were furnished by the city: the building, equipment and
principal were furnished by the lTniyersity. This arrangement was
discontinued at the close of the first year and the, lligh School was
made a part of the Department of Education of the l‘niyersity. From
September, 1919. to June, 192:1, the high school was wholly under the
management of the Department of Education. The (‘ollcge of Educa-
tion was organized and began to function in September. 1932'). Since
this date the high school has been under the control of the College of
Education.

THE NEW l’d'llilHNti

During 1927 the General Education Board of New York offered the
l'niyersity a gift of $151t.oott for a new training school building on
condition that the State of Kentucky give an equal sum. The General
Assembly of 1928 appropriated the amount necessary to secure the
gift. This new training school building will be ready for use in Septem-
ber, 1930. It will be one of the most beautiful and commodious train-
ing schools in the South. The classrooms, laboratories. libraries, gym-
nasium. cafeteria and recreation courts will be of the most modern
design. \Vith the opening of the new building the program of training
will be expanded to include the kindergarten, elementary school and
junior high school.

LOCATION AND EQI'IPMENT

The University High School is located in the College of Education
Building in Scoyille Park, opposite the Administration Building on
the main campus. The classrooms. laboratories, and library are
equipped with high grade modern furniture and instructional
auxiliaries.

STATEMENT OF AIM

aims to make itself a useful and effective factor in the whole education
of young people. (2) It serves as a laboratory and demonstration
school for the College of Education.

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION

The most improved and refined methods of classroom instruction
and supervision in all subjects are demonstrated in the school. The
teachers are men and women of excellent training and of known ability
and skill in teaching. The fact that the school is used as a laboratory
and demonstration school for the training of teachers gives the students
the advantages of superior instruction.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The University High School is a six»year high school. No pupil
will be admitted without a personal interview with the principal and
satisfactory evidence of good moral character. The conditions of ad-
mission are as follows:

(1) Pupils who have completed the work of the sixth grade of a

mentary schools upon certificate of the principal of that school.

(4) Pupils from other schools may be admitted to advanced

ment of work previously done.

THE SCHOOL CALENDAR

The school year is composed of two semesters of eighteen weeks

school work will not be interrupted.

DISCIPLINE
The pupils of the University High School are a selected body of
boys and girls of high school age representing the best homes of LeX<
ington and Central Kentucky. The organization is based on the
assumption that boys and girls prefer freedom in right conduct. In
accordance with this policy, there are standards, but few rules of con-

 5

duct. The school seeks to instill a sense of personal and collective
responsibility in neatness, politeness, gentleness, kindness, love, truth-
fulness, duty, obedience, gratitude, honesty, self-control, modesty and
the other virtues essential to the development of character. The dis-
cipline of the school is not adapted to those individuals who require
severe restrictions, constant surveillance and pressure in order to be-
have agreeably or to do good work. The school reserves the right to
eliminate any student who cannot conform to the standards of conduct.

SCHOLARSHIP

The school maintains a high standard of work. A grade of “D” is
necessary for promotion in a subject. A pupil failing to make a pass-
ing grade in two or more subjects in any semester will be dropped from
the school.

vocabulary permits. Conversation is carried on through the intro-
duction of objects in the room and by means of the pupil’s daily actions
and interests. Literature is taught not only for the style and thought
of the author, but the insight into the customs and ideals of the French
people.

The general aim in the teaching of French is to develop the
ability to read French with ease, interest and pleasure. The other
aims are: (1) To acquaint the pupils with the geography, history,
and civilization of the country. (2) To develop the ability to express

 13

oneself in the common expressions of everyday life. (3) To have a

in each subject.

The course in history deals with the expansion and development
of the United States, growth in population and a study of the American
origins in Europe.

The course in civics is intended to acquaint the young citizens
with the functions of institutions in their community, to acquaint them
with the functions of the governmental agencies and to show them
some of the social and industrial problems of the day.

The objectives of the course in geography are:

1. To give an understanding of the position of the United States
as a world power.

2. To show the interdependence of the various sections of the
United States.

3. To show the interdependence of the United States and the
other countries of the world.

4. To provide a background which will make for a more intelligent
reading of newspapers and magazines.

eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades an appreciation of
the nature and laws of social life, a sense of responsibility of the
individual as a member of social groups, and an intelligence and the
will to participate effectively in the promotion of the social welfare.

and order and a willingness to accept his responsibilities as a citizen
and producer, so that he may contribute to the wise use of scientific
products and help to improve upon them in whatever way he may.

The science courses for the seventh and eighth grades will be
built around the general topic of “Our Environment.” The text used
in the seventh grade will be Our Environment, Book 1, Wood and
Carpenter. The text used in the eighth grade will be Our Environment,
Book II, Wood and Carpenter.

GENERAL SCIENCE
Tl‘lX'l'm"()'lt7' Enriromncnt. Book III," W'ood and Carpenter.

The course in general science will attempt to introduce the pupil
to the great field of science. The first semester will include the study
of air and water in all their general phases as related to health and
economic life. The second semester will cover the subjects of work,
energy, electricity and the earth's surface, Laboratory experiments
will accompany all work.
