Gueb. gnbusifzies An electrical area has been added to the Industrial Arts Department. This addition to drawing, general metals, and woodworking gives our program greater latitude. Mr. Selfridge came to Norwood in September and is develop- ing this area. The general metal area was moved to temporary quarters in the boys' gym. Relief from crowded and temporary quarters was assured in November, when the bond levy providing for a New Technical School was ap- proved. Vocational teachers are engaged in planning the arrangement of areas and select- ing equipment for this school. Vocational Education also has a new area. Cosmetology, under the direction of Miss Glass- meyer, occupies rooms lOl and 'lO2.

Latin, which is the basis of the Romance languages as well as of English, is helpful in learning the vocabulary and grammar of English, for the language of America is per- meated with Latin. Everyone who speaks English uses countless words and expressions that are Latin in origin. All of them enrich one's lan- guage, without them one would find difficulty in communicating with one's fellow men.
