Language NE of the tragedies of the Normal School is that the Department Of Foreign Lan- guages is unable to offer instruction in all the languages for which its members are prepared. Owing to the fact that the state is over-supplied with language teachers trained in other insti- tutions, Normal has ceased to teach anything but Latin and French. However, equally good instruction in German and Spanish could be given if conditions warranted. Perhaps some clay these additional languages will be offered qumcx H.

Thls would enlarge Effigy?Tanjijff,,efriif3w$3:5; the scope of the department as well as afford of Men students an opportunity which many of. them would like to take advantage of. Until this happens the department is training teachers of Latin and French, and giving a wide acquaintance of classical'literature in these languages. M athematics NE never thinks of the Department of Mathematics without thinking of registration day, for Prof. Frank R. Higgins is known to hundreds of students who are not mathematics majors as a result of this hrst day acquaintance with him. Since mathematics is the most exact science, it is well that someone connected with this department he in charge of registration day activities. The three members of this department are as systematic as the science which they teach is exact. Social Studies DDITION of one member to the staff of the Department of History and Economics marked the growth of this department during the year. Distinction came to it also when Dean Bogardus' new text book came from the press during the winter and won favorable comment and criticism. The department of social studies at Normal a presents teachers of the most varied types, but Dean Bogardus' experiemes, Professor Malanls philosophy of life and faith in democracy and Professor Roll's storehouse of facts all have a Vital and important place in preparing teach- CFS Of the social studies.
