The English Department IN TRAINING girls and boys for future American citizenship, the teacher finds no subject more essential than English, with its wealth of associa- Uons and Us nndtbhngualsynonynw. If the pupH is prepadng for a profession or the field of letters, his need for equipment in a cultural literature and in the spoken and written idiomatic speech of his country is obvious, but Mais none the less necessary in the business yvorkL vvhere the law of survival of the fittest unerringly operates. The fittest, or best equipped, is marked by superior vision, logical thinking, clear forceful presentation of ideas-all of which may be fostered through the study of linghsh. The purpose of teaching in generalis to Ht pupHs to adjust themselves to their future life environments. English not only contributes its share to this training, but it also opens, through the acquired powers of self-expression, limitless possibilities for the individual.--B. B. HARPER.

l Vocational Guidance and Civic Responsibility EACH boy and girl in Western Hills High School is a potential future leader of his community. His opportunity for assuming responsibility in civic affairs depends largely on his ability to succeed in his own work. The Vocational Guidance program at Western Hills Will endeavor to aid each pupil in formulating some plan for his future school and Work. As the program grows, each boy and girl will have the opportunity to study occupations and to make his plan with the aid of the vocational counselor in the school. Those who plan most carefully in school may hope to be the successful and happy citizens of the future. The right job means a chance to use special abilities, the satisfaction of work well done, the opportunity to do the best work for the community. In doing this, each pupil will have attained success, not only in satisfying his own desires, but also in contributing to Cincinnati a citizenship of which our city may be proud -MARY J.

The Foreign Language Department IF WE are to aspire to a Cincinnati which will be a city Without limita- tions, its citizens must have a culture that Will make this possible. Cer- tainly those Who have studied a foreign language should have a vision which sees far beyond the hills of Cincinnati, to Spain, to Germany, to France, and to the glory that was Rome. Our school offers four-year courses in French, in German, and in Spanish. In Latin, besides the regular four-year course, there is an ex- ploratory course offered to all pupils of the eighth grade, to determine what pupils may continue their study of a language with profit. There is also a select group beginning Latin in the seventh grade. In the teaching of all these languages, though We may borrow from the best the past has to offer, our aims and methods are in conformity with what is officially accepted as the best modern thought.-LUELLA G.
