Grammar Student Practices Diagramming To llc- Or Not To Be -Shakespeare-'s HAMLET Translated the sentence reads I'his is a Class of Spanish. Students Learned tht Four languages were offered to students this yearg three foreign, and English which is required of all students. The three foreign languages were French, Latin, and Spanish. Public speaking, creative writing, grammar, letter writ- ing, and many other divisions of language were covered in the classes. Today, amid the wonders of engineering achievement and the miracles of scientific discovery, we are prone to forget that no miracle in science surpasses the miracle of Language. With it we record the Truth of our thoughts and communicate the Beauty of our emotions. lt was the English Poet, John Keats, who wrote: Beauty is Truth, truth beautyf, that is all Ye know on earth and all ye need to know The language teacher is concerned with training the mind in the habits of accuracy in thinking, of clarity -and ef- fectiveness in oral and written communication. Since lan- guage is rather caught than taught the problem of clear thinking and effective communication through language becomes the responsibility of every teacher and student within and without the school. This responsibility remains until better thinking and communication in the English Language especially, is practiced by all. ,.
