This course used video- tapes and guest speakers to give students a basic under- standing of their rights and obligations under Canadian law. At one time, business cours- es were aimed exclusively at students who would be leaving school after grade 12. Now, with the credit system, all courses count equally. and many university bound stud- ents enroll in courses like Economics. In Mr. Clarke's grade 13 Economics class, students practice the skills of a research essay. They begin to question the reasons behind economic developments like devaluation and trade tariffs. Stock market analysis is another of the practical as- pects of this course. One gets the impression that there is a great deal going on in the business department of B.H.S. The atmosphere is controlled, organized and very busy. As I left (4:00 on a Frida yafternoon), Mr. Clarke proudly showed me three or our of the classrooms where students were still working away at typewriters or busi- ness machines. These were not detentions but interested students working on their own.
