Today's rapid changes in political affairs make vital a study not only of current events, but also of the back- grounds of national and inter- national history. Lively inter- est in the social sciences is maintained through use of pictorial aids, radio, circula- tion of periodical literature, and frequent visits of guest speakers chosen from the ranks of those prominent in civic life. An important aim of the history department, han- dled by the Presentation Sis- ters, is the training of the stu- dents for active participation in the democratic Way of life through voting.

PRECISION AND ACCURACY ARE THE ANSWERS War has also made added demands on the mathe- matics department, which is conducted by the Sisters of St. loseph of Carondelet. The numbers of students enrolling in the higher mathematics courses, Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, indicate that the students are highly aware of government appeals for those trained in mathematics. Such students will undoubted- ly find opportunity to utilize their knowledge in service of their country. Basic, however, to such courses are the required routine subjects, algebra, geometry, and general mathematics. These are essential for practice in logical procedure as well as for practical applica- tion in everyday life. Sister M. Florentine, C.S.l., indicates the solution of a puzzling problem in general mathematics. The practical foundation given in this course is valuable in business situations par- ticularly. Sister Rose Alexis, CSI., points out the correlation between higher mathematics and the manipulation of a plane in Mathematics in Avia- tion. This War emergency course is extremely popular with the students. The intricacies of algebra are made less difficult for this student by Sister M. Barbara, C.S.l., Instructor in Mathematics. Careful explanations and problems in construction rnake the study of geometry interesting and profitable. Both are part of the course taught by Sister St, Claire, CSI.
