The study of the social customs of the Romans is stimulated through the use of interesting projects and such illustrative materials as pictures and drawings. The Foreign Language department offers unusual opportunties to the students enrolled in its class, inasmuch as the basis of international good-will and tolerance rests in an understanding of the ideals and customs of the other nations of the world. We are able to enrich our own ideals only through comparison and contact with the best achievements of others. After certain fundamentals of grammar are mastered, the student begins to read the masterpieces of France and Spain, and to acquire a speaking knowledge of these languages which will definitely enlarge his horizons and outlook upon life both at home and abroad. Many students have enjoyed carrying on correspondence with students of these foreign countries. Miss MCCAULEY Mas. BLAND Miss VAN AUSDALL Miss STACKHOUSE -f.....l4- ..-......, ....-- ..- ,, , . -...

Mathematics and Science The aims of the teaching of mathematics in high school may be divided roughly into three groups-practical, disciplinary, and cultural. The practical aims are achieved in the teaching of the ability to solve the problems that arise in everyday life. Mental discipline is developed through the analysis of problems in which the student learns to reject those facts that are irrelevent, to establish correct relations among the remaining ones, and, finally, to reach logical conclusions. In many cases the appreciation of pure mathematics may be cultivated, and it is here that the cultural aims are realized. The science courses of the school teach the student the nature of his physical environment. In an age in which man has gained such control over nature through science it becomes increasingly important that education should provide the individual with its findings and methods in order that he may be satisfactorily adjusted to his surroundings. No student is graduated from our school without at least one course in this department. Mk. BLooM Miss KELLEY MR. CooK MR. STEED 1 -c - +-c 15,30 Q-e ' , to 4 i S I Page Twenty three I s ,

The principles of design, drawing, and painting, forming the basis of Art instruction in general, are applied as concretely as possible to a wide variety of projects for both home and school. The Art Department has furnished posters for almost every school function, has supervised the bringing of a large Art exhibit to the school last fall, has furnished designs for our standard school ring, and not least, has taken entire charge of the industrial art motif running through this year's Red and Black. Fostoria's present musical program, being largely extra-curricular, is described elsewhere. The Music department feels deeply that it is a serious failure in our educative process for any student with musical ability to lack the opportunity to develop it as fully as possible. We hope the day is not far distant when free music instruction will be available to everyone in our school. Mk. WAINWRIGHT Mas. THOMPSON Mk. Jomzs I s so s siozo- Page T-wenty fm
