HUXK DU YOU FIND THE CIRCUMFERENIIE OF A CIRCLE? MATHEMATICS MATHEMATICS courses have held their popularity through the years at Manual. The above is true. in large measure, to the fact that the modern machine age requires at least a practical mathematical education, Of course, those who plan to enter the engineering Held. or any branch of science, must take more specialized courses. Every student who completes the eighth grade takes some course in this subject, but those who continue their education take much more. In the early days of Manual. highly technical courses were given, designed primarily to prepare people for college entrance. These courses are still given, if many people desire them, but consideration is given to the needs of both the students who will not continue with mathematics, as well as those interested in engineering and other vocations requiring mastery of the higher principles of this exact science. The technical progress of the world has been due, in large degree, to growth in the Held of mathematics, for such advances depend vitally upon accuracy of measurement. Thus, though methods of teaching and objectives have changed. mathematics retains the same high place today that it held in the early days of Manual. SEE WHO CAN FINISH FIRST Elem-vi

PAUSAMOS UN MOMENTO PARA UN RE FRATO, LANGUAGE LANGUAGE has always been an essential part of education. During the last year language ranked second. in numbers enrolled, among all elective subjects at Manlial. The study of for- eign languages at Manual has gone through several stages. Latin formerly was the language most commonly studied, but, of recent years, it has been taken largely by those planning to study law and medicine. Before the World War. German was the most popular with French and Span' ish holding second place and third. respectively. At the opening of the World War, German was immediately dropped from the curriculum and French took its place. The recent realization of Coloradifs geographical nearness to Spanishfspeaking people may be considered the major factor causing Spanish to become Manual's most popular foreign language subject. Though French had gradually died out at Manual. it was revived in 1932 and now shows promise of future growth. The future may bring many changes, but, if the past is a measure. the true worth of lan' guage:-1 will remain unaffected by the March of Time. LOS RETRATOS HABLAN UNA LENGUA UNIVERSAL.

V -ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE CURRENT- RESISTANCE SCIENCE SCIENCE is the study of the physical environment of man and the way in which man is affected by it, It is estimated that about hfty percent of Manual graduates take some course in science, as 423 students were registered in that department the first semester of the past year. The science department, like all other departments, has changed greatly since the early days of Manual. Perhaps the most radical change is the use of the motion picture as an integral part of teaching in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. In biology, pictures take the place of microscopic drawings, showing plant structure and bodily functions just as plainly: and in physics they are used to show experiments that cannot be performed in the classroom. There are also many more Held trips, giving the student a firstfhand knowledge of things only read about before. Changes of the same kind have been taking place in the other divisions of science teaching until today science is one of the most absorbing subjects taught in Manual.
