SGIE AND MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENTS The Science and Mathematics UUMMERUIAL The objectives of the commercial depart- ment are two fold: first, it provides contribu- tion to training for citizenship, intelligent consumption, and general economic intelli- gence and understanding with special em- phasis on the social organization known as business. Second, it makes a contribution to voca- tional business skills and activities for which there is a definite need of vocational training. Although in reality two departments in NUE departments have a definite mis- sion to fulfill in the educational scheme of any school. They strive to develop reflective think- ing rather than to encourage idle reverie. The art of clear thinking is not essential to living, but it is extremely essential to enioy- able and complete human living. The mathematician, engineer, doctor, and professional person need it developed to the highest degree. But everyone lives more satisfactorily according to the de- gree to which he has developed this art within himself.
