English Study Sparks Student From the cave man’s “Ugh evolved such rare choice of words as Elizabeth Barrett Browning ' s: How do 1 love thee? Let me count the ways. 1 love thee to the depth, breadth, and height M soul can reach . . .” A need, a desire, and a determination to communicate, com¬ plemented bv God-given powers, initiated and perpetuated the growth and progress of language. A product of the people, language is a studv of the people. As a man thinks, he speaks —he writes—he interprets. His thoughts inspire, degrade, enlighten, or entertain. His thoughts ignite or harness his actions. To stud English is to feel the pulse of the English-speaking people and their ancestrv. Introducing to its scholars a vast reservoir of learning, it opens new channels of knowledge and avenues of interest. At Huss the basic skills of grammar are introduced to the English student as the essentials of communi¬ cation. Skills in speaking, writing, reading, and listening are stressed to insure vocational and professional security. Mastery of these skills keynote creativity and enhances literary appre¬ ciation. Found among the pursuers of these skills may be a successful actor, actress, novelist, journalist, poet, lecturer, teacher . . . Others of these will have learned how to make better use of their leisure time and to see the world—parts that experience will never allow them to visit—through the eyes of another. Some will learn to think and communicate their thoughts more ably. Still others will learn to see value in the efforts of others and point these out to those who do not. In so doing they will compliment the intent of each teacher and attain the purpose of the Huss English Department.
