ENGLISH LANGUAGE FND LITE! A TU! E The world today is much more English conscious, than it has been at any time in past history. Since much of our modern world thinks, talks, and writes in English, it is not difficult to conclude the importance of the subject. In order to understand one another and to express our opinions, both in writing and in speech, a firm grasp of the language is necessary. We here at C.C.H. are most fortunate to be students of the Ba- silianfathers, for the English staff headed by Fr. Hartman is thoroughly capable. Thus with the basis of our education so well taken care of, we are confident that any future undertakings of ours will be made so much easier because of our affilliation with this most excellent group of teachers. In Father Clemens' third year class self expression in the mother tongue is developed by practice in the fundamentals of parlimentary procedure.
