Provide Foundation For Learning Mrs. Warren clarifies Othello for her Senior English class. or forty thousand more. The study of English goes hand in hand with the history of the English speak¬ ing people, gives an insight into their character, mode of life, and habits of thought. At the same time it teaches a lesson in broad tolerance, for it shows that our language is an accumulation of many languages, varying in particular areas of the country. It is with intense pride that we tenaciously grasp our rich language heritage.

English is the most important of the world’s languages and is strongly stressed at Dyer Central. Experience has shown that the prevailing lack of this knowledge is a serious handicap. The know¬ ledge of English is invaluable to all students, be¬ cause it is used in trade, science, and literature more than any other language. The English lan¬ guage has more words in its vocabulary than any other. The average person uses perhaps ten thou¬ sand freely, and recognizes and understands thirty Sophomores happily study their English Literature.
