The largest department in the faculty of Lin- coln High School is the English Department. Its purpose is to teach all of Lincoln,s twenty- five hundred students better English, so that they may more easily find their place when they enter the business World or Whatever other lines of work they have chosen. Split infinitives, dangling participles, gerunds, complex sentences-all these hold no terrors for those who com- plete their Work under the capable instructors who compose our English Department. The nineteen instructors required by the size of Lincoln teach such varied subjects as composition, literature, public speaking, oral expression, and journalism.

'vs' The taslg of teaching a deeper understanding of nature and the everyday things around us falls to the science department. Things that were entirely meaningless and drab formerly become simple but fascinating under its guidance. Here we learn the history of plants, the principles of electricity, the composition of the earth, the physiology of the human body, and similar information. The courses include Zoology, physiology, botany, chemistry, and physics. In botany the students work in the two gardens kept for their study. Lewis H. Fee is head of the science department. Completing the list of science teachers are L. C. Altman, W. W. Davis, Robert W. Godden, Oscar W. Rosenquist, A. J. Seltzer, Otto F. Sperling, Pauline Thompson, C. E. Wassberg, and W. D. Young.
