BETTER UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED THROUGH ENGLISH Have you ever wondered Why you had to participate in public speaking? The English Department's main objective is to achieve a better understanding among individuals through improving methods of communication. Public speaking is one's training in oral communications. Learning to express oneself in writing is another requisite of this department. The one-thousand word theme and book re- ports provide tor this training in the College English branch. The Vocational people are taught to express themselves through the same means, so that they might go out into the world, prepared to meet and understand the problems associated with business. In the Commercial English branch, the individuals are trained to write letters and to be accurate in all communications. Along with this practical English is the study of literature.
