won icf ancf the qfo ones or a modern one c e ;; C a ass Words can soothe men and nations- - or fan the smouldering coals of rebellion. They can dull and enslave minds, or stir them to creative efforts. In an age when the forces of freedom and communism maintain a precarious balance, a single word- -ill-chosen or misunderstood --has the power to tip the scales in favor of one ideo- logy or the other. Formal study of vocabulary and spell- ing in context and from standard lists is a part of the English curriculum. The advan- ced English classes strive for perfection in spelling and the ' best diction in all written work. They are also encouraged to broaden and enrich their vocabularies in reading and speech. fl literature C fas s Modern literature books contain inspir- ing, challenging, and informative stories and essays based on the Space Age. The fiction fires the imagination, and the non- fiction gives a better understanding of space and this nation ' s concern in making progress. Reading and enjoying literature is an integral part of an English course, whether it is the science -fiction of Jules Verne, a true account of the flight of astronaut John Glenn, or a Bret Harte story with the theme of the spark of goodness in each of us.” Out of a literature course come imagination for invention and better understandings of human relations- -both necessary under- standings in the Age of Space.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Bacon In this shrunken world of the Space Age, communication is the vital factor in keeping world peace. The idea that there are more likenesses than differences among the peoples of the world is an accepted fact of the educated. Through the study of character and culture in literature, appreciation for the worth of a people can be measured in terms of STATURE, rather than STATUS. That the pen is mightier than the sword has been proved in times when nuclear war was believed inevitable. Not only the pen but also the voice are daily the deterrents of war and the contributors to Space Age progress. It is the common belief that so long as nations can communicate, the world is safe from atomic war and can progress in space exploration for peaceful purposes. This page sponsored by R. L.
