UU English The work of the English Department is arranged with a view to giving the most thorough knowledge possible of the various phases of English. A mastery of technical grammar. rhetoric, composition and a developing of a taste for literature are the aims of the course. Pupils learn to express themselves well either in oral or written Composition only by constant practice and to cultivate an apprecia- tion of the best literature only by study and application. lt is the aim to adapt the work to the pupils abilities, to make it interesting and thus develop efficiency in the use of the language and to arouse a desire for good literature. Hi5t01'y This is a very popular department, practically every student in the school taking some course in history. The study begins with Ancient times, passes on to Mediaeval and Modern History and then to American History, finishing with a good strong course in Civics. Quite a large amount of work outside of the text books has been done and several magazines in current subjects are studied daily. Langmzgcs This department offers a full four years course in Latin. A strong two years course is given in Spanish and French with as much conversation and reading of current periodicals as time will permit. These courses are made broad and give as practical an ap- plication as possible. The Spanish work is mostly a study of Latin American with the contemporary literature of Spain and Latin America. Special emphasis is placed upon the practical speaking of the language and commercial correspondence. Matlicmatics X Throughout the Mathematics Department there is a constant en- cleavor to cultivate the power of attention, to correct carelessness and forgetfulness, to avoid inaccuracy, to improve arithmetical skill, to prevent slovenly reasoning. ln these day of iron, steam and elec- tricity there is no subject, except the use of our mother tongue, that is so intimately connected with our everyday life as mathematics: therefore a general education should include a good course in mathe- matics. The subject also exemplihes most clearly and simply certain modes of thought which are of the utmost importance to everyone. --. 514. 1. Cl his 'Z Q Wf ilazl wt -ii
