ATIN serves as the basis for the study of many other languages, and through a knowl- edge of Latin roots, prefixes, and suiiixes, the exact meaning of an extensive number of English Words becomes clearer to the student. French not only endows the student with an insight into the culture and customs of France, but also enriches the student,s language and broadens his appreciation of a foreign people. Spanish, one of the most euphonious of the romance languages, is made more vivid through oral and Written reports on the coun- tries, characteristics, and customs of the Spanish-speaking peoples of the World. Typing, an often-chosen elective, trains the student in preparing various types of letters and in arranging manuscript material, thus developing practical efliciency. Algebra, offered as a basic course in mathe- matics, trains the student in the usage of algebraic expressions and equations. Geometry, 'with its orderly series of state- ments about points, lines, and planes, provides excellent training in concentration and prac- tical reasoning. Solid Geometry and Trigonometry are both offered as further courses in more advanced mathematics. Mrs. Alfred E. Glatfelter, B.S. ga W. QE? 1 K ltr. 5514-1, 5? Eqizp 5 .1 , -ff' I A , if Miss Fay C.
