The de- partments of music and art have often been so classified. However, hours of work become less in a highly developed machine civilization, and leisure hours increase. Art and music are excellent courses to provide opportunities for worthy use of leisure time as well as for remuneration. Theoretical training as well as actual participation is provided in these two departments. The ability to build and develop a home, to buy more wisely, and to do for oneself is provided by the home economics and agriculture departments. For the girls, training is given in the helds of dietetics, home nursing, cooli- ing, and the various phases of textile work. ln the agriculture department, work is put on a very practical basis, as it extends beyond the classroom to the homes of the boys, where they develop worthwhile projects.

In the language department both French and Spanish are taught, a knowledge of which is most valuable today in View of the close bonds among nations and the problems arising out of their trade relations. Latin may also be studied by those who desire it as a foundation for the vocabulary of modern languages or as a background in various helds, such as medicine and pharmacy. Actual participation in the business World is made possible by the com- mercial department, as arrangements are made for students to get practice in business houses of various kinds. Such subjects as typing, bookkeeping, stenography, office practice, salesmansbip, merchandising, business training, and commercial law, enable these students to take an active part in the business World. f'lJMIVll'IlU'lAl.
