Km mi In order that we may make the acquaint- ance of our authors and their works and may speak and write our mother tongue correctly, we are supplied with a very able staff of teachers in the English depart- ment. They take us through the book land of our English world and train us in our gram- mar. Through the study of our literature we learn of the customs, manners and his- tory of other times and places and acquire the taste for good reading. For those of us who aspire to write var- ious types of news stories and to under- stand the newspaper better there is the journalism course. The library includes many references for class work as well as books for recreational reading. Stated: Misses Margaret West. Jean MacDonald, (•ail Lapham. Mabel John- stone, Josephine Mirlield.
