ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The only change in the English Department this year has been the installation of new books. They are HPr0se and Poetryf, four volumes that contain all the literature used in class work. Whether or not they will be used another year is undecided. for the English Department expects a radical change in the State syllabus that will call for a broader study of classic literature. Special emphasis has been placed on the technical work this - year. For years the faculty has had many special clinics and it is with regret that they have not been able to give them this year. Such a change was occasioned by the transfer of several teachers to the Diven School. Although the English Department has not been in charge of a special assembly, the students wH0 demonstrated the work of the other departments were chosen for their proficiency in English. Since weekly oral work has been required, the development in the average student's ability to ei-Lpress himself and assimilate the essen- tials has been frequently noted in other classes. Special project work has been enjoyed by the students. One - A of the accom lishments, which has been on dis ala f in Room l4, is p . . . l l M.
