ENGLISH HAMILTON Mt BRUSH English A B. Yale M. A. Yale Read, write, talk; think, spell, correct,- analyze, synthesize, take tests. English students do all nine, almost daily. They do them in fourth grade, they do theme in seventh, and they are still doing them in twelfth. The Department teachers can remember doing them in college and gradu- ate school, and we hope that Country Day alumni continue to do them far into the sunset years. Able and communicating minds, from Sopho- cles to Hemingway, have something to say to all of us. We want to know what they say and how they say it. We too have reflections, more- overl Upon our own experience which we be- lieve others should hear, and so we study to reach the minds of our fellows in talking and writing. The objective of the English Department is to inculcate into our students a desire and an ability to read, write, think, and talk effectively and maturely. To approach the perfecting of this objective, the Department divides the body English into its hundred and one component parts. Maior organs are literature, vocabulary, composition, grammar. Smaller parts include such limbs as poetry and drama, spelling and illustrative sentence, exposition and short story, Darts of speech and verbals. Down the line the parts go to comma, climax, capitals, and Kip- ling. But the whole body can be divided only for the sake of analysis. We engage in academic calisthenics to build up the effectiveness of each part, so that the whole may act in one strong and fluent motion. We hope that the Country Day student educated in English at any level will learn how to spell well through reading, understand well through talking, and read well through writing. H. M.
