M l l Foreign Language M athematics Study Halls and Library M ilitary and M usic While foreign languages are much alike in general, each has special objectives and values. For instance, Latin is an invaluable guide to the understanding of word derivations-their meanings and pronunciationsg and it is very much worth while for those who plan to enter certain pro- fessions having technical vocabularies made up largely of Latin terms. A large part of the most valuable literature pertaining to certain professions is in French. And Spanish affords many opportunities in the modern commercial world. Which language or languages to take depends upon the intentions of the student. From an esthetic standpoint, the mastery of any language is a matter of satisfaction in itself, leading to new avenues of enjoyment. i'Why should I study mathematics? is a question with which the math,' teacher is quite familiar. The answer obviously lies in a little reflection about the world in which we live. Automobiles, sky scrapers, airplanes, giant bridges and dams, as well as every humble residence-these things are made possible only because man has learned to understand and to use mathematics, the mother science. The course in mathematics provides the foundation for those who will pursue advanced scientific or technical studies, and it makes possible to the others, an understanding of the how and why of much of the modern world. For all, it is perhaps the best training in truly scientific methods of thought- the Is-it-true, how-do-you-know, can-you-prove- it? attitude, which is so important for progress in any field. Mrs. Edna Clark and Mrs. Edna Chestnut as supervisors of the boys' and girls' study halls, respectively, contribute much to the discipline of the school and help to create an atmosphere in which good study work may be done in preparation of assignments. Miss Laura Decker has charge of our library, which, situated between the two study halls, is accessible to all students. Many new books of reference and standard Hction have been added to the library this year, increasing its usefulness and attractiveness. The military department provides instruction according to the pre- scribed course of the War Department for the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Young men completing the work of the department are not only better trained to serve their country if necessary, but they have had a most valuable training in discipline, good citizenship, and the build- ing of sturdy bodies. Joplin's R. O. T. C. unit has for many years been given an honsor rating by the United States War Department. The music department hopes to accomplish two objectives-to in- crease the student's capacity to appreciate Hne music, and to help him find and develop his own musical talents. Under the direction of Mr. Coulter, the department has been notably successful in attaining these goals. Twenty
