Department of Stringed and Wind llnstrurnents HE Holy Bible encourages the praise of the Lord with stringed and wind instruments. It is the purpose of this department to help all Who desire to play any of the smaller type of musical instruments to improve their talents. Nearly all of the students this year have found a place either in the College Band or in one of the other ensembles. Baslketry HOSE who take the Basketry course learn during one semester how to make seven simple models of reed work. After mastering fundamental weaves, one is ahle to make various articles of value and beauty without the aid of an instructor. The method of weaving employed eliminates the need of nails, screws, or glue, but the models are very substantial and graceful, and may be used for decorative or commercial purposes.

Department of Modern Languages N the study of French, German, or Spanish there is much aside from the mere translation of words that greatly benefits the student. Its broadening influence upon the individual tends to make it a valuable asset to anyone. In learning a foreign tongue, the student gains glimpses of the lite and: customs of that people which give him a wider scope of understanding and enable him to feel a greater tolerance toward others. To master a modern language is to acquire a clearer insight into one's mother tongue, to have a fuller appreciation of all literature, and to compre- hend through word routes countless words that otherwise would probably remain meaningless. Vocabularies know no limits when aided by modern language study. Foreign languages hold great interest for the students of E. M. C., es- pecially since nothing can supplement their use in the special work of spread- ing the Glad Tidings everywhere. Some young people will be called to lands in which they can use the language studied hereg but wh-en this is not the case, the task of learning a new language will be a great deal easier because the missionary became familiar with the method of learning a language while at college. I By deft management that bespeaks mastery of subject and method, the class periods with their drills, songs, original stories, and animated discus- sions speed on the acquisition of the foreign idiom so that the language class becomes a pleasantly anticipated session and one of the student's favorite sub j ects.
