Chopping this definition down to a point Where we can get at it, we discover that mathematics as they are taught at Heights is a collection of subjects designed to pro- mote clear and accurate thinking, skill in mathematical computation, and a marked ability in applying fundamental mathematical principles to practical problems. As a factor in modern Warfare, the sciente Of mathematics cannot be overempha- sized. Recognition of this fact caused the entrante Of Mathew D. Phillips, former head of our Math Department, into the armed service of our country. But Mr. Budde, Mr. Cox, Mr, Fraunfelter, Mr, Hamer, Mr, McLaughlin, and Mr. Strauss will agree with Mr. Phillips that the force of their specialty is yet more potent when harnessed rg the development of civilization in peacetime.

NORRIS is the head of the Science Department at Heights, which offers six semesters of science, biology, chemistry, and physics. A foundation of chemistry is given to approximately three hundred and sixty stu- dents by Mr. Langmead and Mr. Norris, the two teachers connected with this field. The course is concerned with the study of substances and the transformation which they undergo. Knowledge concerning plants, animals, the body structure and its functions, and proper living habits is extended to some six hundred students by the four teachers in the biology department. About one hundred and sixty students take the physics course, which is the mechanics of gases, liquids, and solidsg and the study of sound, light, and electricity. The Science Department aims to develop the minds of young people in the powers of observation and analysis with the ultimate purpose of making better citizens. zllr.

The Latin department, of which 'Miss Edwards is the head, opens the study of Latin each semester to approximately three hundred and Hfty students. The fundamentals of grammar are studied during the first three semesters of French, then the student is given short stories and plays. For German this procedure is reversed. Spanish is fast becoming one of the most popular languages taught at Heights as a result of this coun- try's new attitude toward the South American countries.
