Its primary object, of course, is to be instrumental in the winning of the peace, with a secondary goal of insuring a better post- war world. Therefore, Crane's efficient staff of 23 math teachers has set its standards with the two principles in mind and the mathematics students have found that no haphazard efforts will be taken. The Pre-Flight course, under the supervision of Miss Regina Devine, was introduced into the mathematics curriculum to meet the ever increasing demand for better prepared aero- HARRY H.

Students who have chosen the mathematics course as their :field of study at Crane are re- quired to have three semesters each of Algebra and Geometry. For advanced work, Trigo- nometry and College Survey may be taken. Language students need only one year each of Algebra and Geometry, while those having Smith-Hughes training must have four semes- ters of essential mathematics. However, it is to their advantage to take Algebra 3 and Solid Geometry also. 414:

Literature and biog- raphy about great men and great days help us to understand those ideals of democracy so necessary to us future leaders and citizens of this country. Through this source also, we gain an interpretation of life and a training toward ideals: and we develop the power of independent thought. The Crane English department, with its com- plete staff of twenty-seven teachers, has ad- mirably continued to fulfill its essential part in the war effort. It has successfully accom- plished its main purpose, and under Miss Ruth Corrigan's supervision will undoubtedly persist in doing so. In order to prepare Craneites for their future jobs as members of Uncle Sam's Armed Forces, it was necessary to incorporate new ideas into the English courses. These developments have laid the foundations for the rapid advance- ments of many former Crane students in their military lives and will also be of inestimable value in periods of reconversion in peace after victory.
