If he wants however, something that is not simply incongrous, but in the nature of a "snap" he might drop the Hebrew and by little shifting around, keeping an eye open to the avoidance of conflicts in his weekly schedule, take French, Music, and Botany, and in place of the Hebrew, a course in elementary Fine Art where "practice in Drawing, including the use of water-colors, forms a considerable part of the work."
