The work of' this department is threefold. livery girl and boy is entitled to an equal opportunity and this is most easily assured, in a school of thirteen hundred students, by ability grouping. The result of the pupil's group test is one of the factors upon which this classification is based. Child guidance attempts to meet the capacities, desires, needs and abilities of' each student. The needs of some pupils do not fit in with the requirements made for the group. In such cases an individual program is arranged for the student and he is assisted in understanding his difficulties and in making an adequate personal adjust- ment to his problem. This work requires the full time of one member of the department. Five lectures on Niental Hygiene are given by a member of the staff of' special education to the girls in the home-making class. The psychology of behaviour as it applies to the habit training of young children is outlined in this series of lectures. Une or two hours a week are given to each individual who needs speech correc- tion. No two cases are alike and it is necessary to make a study of each one and show each person how to help himself in overcoming his difficulty. Good speech is one of' the assets of an educated person, and it is very much worth while to spend whatever time is necessary to help one overcome a difficulty either nervous or organic. l Page Seventeen

Department of Latin Aliss Leta Nl. Wilscmn. Aliss Merle M. Baldwin. llliss Florence H. Ramsey. Aliss Alice Nl. Grover. Bliss S. Helen Anderson. Baldwin Ramsey , G over 7 Anderson lvilson data jl1,2,Lm., LATIN Central Iligh School has a Latin Department of tive teachers and approximately 500 students. It is the largest elective department of the school. Two distinct courses are ot't'ered. The tour-year course is recommended most highly for all those who attend the university or plan to enter a profession. The aim ot' the tour-year course is both practical and cultural. It seeks to give the student a linguistic foundation hy means of which he may hecome the master ot' his own vernacular English and a successful student ot' any modern language: to acquaint him with the practical ends of the study, and to give an historic and literary appreciation ot' the classical civilizations from which our own western civilization has come. The two-year course, because ot' the limits ot' time, cannot hope to accomplish more tor its students than to lay a linguistic foundation and to acquaint them with the more practical ends ot' word derivation, word building, English spelling, etc. According to a survey there were 13,0-15 students of Latin in Wisconsin in the year 192-I-25. Compared with this number there were 9,151 students of French, German, and Spanish combined. Although this numher may seem large, Wisconsin ranked only twenty-tirst among the forty-eight states in the numher of students studying Latin. ln the United States, the numlmer ot Latin students was estimated hy the United States' Bureau ot, Education as 940,000 for the year 1925-2-l, or approximately 30 per cent ot the total enrollment in the United States. The chairman ot' tiourteen departments ofthe University ot' Wisctmilsiii unqualitiedly recommend that a high school student take a four-year Latin course as a preparation tor majoring in any ol' these college departments. A few of the ditterent tields ot' work represented hy these chairmen are College of Letters and Science, Departments ot' Philosophy, Pharmacy, Iournalism, Zoology, Medicine, Alathematics, Law, Political Science, Romance Languages, Nlechanics and Engineering.
