Howard Payne College.
Geometry.
During the third year of the preparatory course the study of
elementary geometry may be begun with advantage; the greatest
stress w le laid on the accurate mastery of essential principles,

mathematical work in the College.
English Grammar.
In the preparatory department special instruction is given in
grammar and composition, particular attention being paid to the
rules of formal or systematic grammar. This knowledge of grammar
is'put to practical use, and thereby supplemented by the careful
supervision which the teachers as a whole employ over the
recitation and conversation of the pupils. An ordinary knowledge
of grammar is presupposed in the course of reading to be described
later on.
Geography.
Two elementary courses are given, one in political geography,
which should precede, and one in physical geography. These
courses each occupy five hours a week for a term, and an attempt will
be made, not so much to crowd the minds of the pupils with facts,
as to give them an interesting and usable picture of the earth and
its inhabitants.
History.
Two courses of history are give in the preparatory department,
one in United States History, which should be first studied, and
the other in Texas History. In these studies attention will not be
focused on minute details, but an endeavor will be made to central;ze
the thought and interest of the pupil on the greatest and
m,. important facts and epochs, especially upon those factors
