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.

WILLlAM R. DEANE Mathematics A. B. Indiana U. MA A. Columbia The Cou'ntry Day Mathematics program is designed to satisfy three basic objectives. The first is to offer each student adequate training in the use of those mathematical and arithmetical skills needed for use in other fields of knowledge. Second, a sound foundation, for those students expecting to pursue further work in mathematical or technical fields, is given Finaily, each student is acquainted with the nature of mathematical structure and engender ed with an appreciation for the power of mathe- matical reasoning. To attain these goals the fdllowing courses are given e Grade 7-. Arithmetic and An In troduction to Algebra; Grade 8: Algebra I; Grade 9: Algebra II; Grade 10: Geometry - plane, solid, and analytic; Grade ii: Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra, and Anaiytic Geometry; Grade 12: College Algebra or Calculus.

Yale Through recent years there has been a near transformation of the Science program, and more is yet to come. With the conviction that a familie arity with the physical environment is a neces- sity to the well educated individual, C. C. D S. science seeks to offer more than a hurried hand- shake with a body of facts. Course revision has aimed at continuity, allowing an opportunity for challenging, imaginative ideas to fit onto a broad secure scientific foundation. Tenth grade introductory physics and chemistry constructs This foundation. On this is built two sections of eleventh grade chemistry, both adapted from the CHEM study program. The advanced group extends to a sufficient depth to qualify for the Advanced Placement Exams given in May. A section of P. S. S. C. senior physics is available to those who are able to tackie its quantitative ideas. Biology in the ninth grade and general science in the middle school both will Undergo some improving revision in the coming years. G. R. W. DRt HENRY O. KRUSE Science M. 8. Cal. Tech. Ph.
