Mrs. Dash Mrs. Brenrneman French and Latin are indispensable as an aid to the intelligent comprehension of the living world. Modern culture is a continuation of the cultures of Greece and Rome. Knowledge of past cultures is a tremendous asset in the development of a sound background for an understanding of concepts of democracy, justice, spiritual and individual liberty. The linguistic goal of foreign language is the devel- opment of the ability to think clearly and to com- municate thoughts. This aim is most important to an individual in his social relationships, in his vocation and in his role as a citizen. 12 Mrs. Martin MATHEMATICS Throughout our mathematics program, an attempt is made to develop a real understanding of basic mathematical concepts, principles, and skills, so that the students may deal intelligently with the prob- lems they meet in daily life. The more advanced courses of the senior high are such as to provide students with an adequate background for the suc- cessful continuation of mathematics and science courses in college.

Today our problems are as much social as they are scientific. It is the purpose of the Citizenship Education Department o f Eden Central School to take the student from the local com- munity on to the state and national scene, and finally to the world stage, teaching him as he goes along the tools, the knowl- edge, the attitudes and the understandings necessary to be a good ) citizen at all levels of social development.
