The teaching of language is a two-fold plan which includes the in- troduction to a new language and the concurrent presentation of ideas in that language. A student just learning a new language is drilled in grammar, sentence structure, pronunciation of foreign sounds and definitions of basic words. After mastering the funda- mental rules of the language, the student is faced with the problem of expressing ideas using proper grammatical rules. He later starts to write, read and think in this new language. Aided by flms, visual aids and the language lab, students soon become fluent in their adopted language. They are then ready to study the literature, his- tory, and customs of the country in which their particular language is spoken. This gives the student a practical application of his new skills, as well as in valuable practice in the use ofthe language. Five languages are ojered as part of the school curriculum: French, Spanish, German, Russian and Latin. Students wishing to learn as much as possible in a specgqc language have the opportunity to study it throughout high school.

The study of mathematics is a stairway to learning in an intricate feld of numbers and geometric shapes. Each additional year ofstudy adds to the total knowledge and leads into the next year's study. Algebra prepares the students not only to accept math as a practical method of solving problems, but also as a complicated and necessary idea. The next step is Geometry, a class in reasoning as well as in mathematics. College or Intermediate Algebra is the third step on the mathematical staircase. Its subject matter is closely related to the study of Physics and therefore is a prerequisite for that course. The final step is Analytic Geometry-Calculus. This course provides an opportunity for the math student to acquire the useful habit of solving a problem by straightforward calculation. High School Math is a practical math course which aids the student in everyday uses of math. I L WILLIAM MOELLER, Algebra, High MARY TA YLOR.
