Iefferson's four years of Latin, from beginners Latin through Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, develop a high standard of scholarship among the students and a real ability to read and to understand the language. Of prime importance is the help given by Latin to English grammar, English vocabulary, and English spelling. BRAWNER, MISS MAMIE A.

ac ullt if, Miss HeIland's American history class is far from a course in dates and facts. Iefferson's fifty-two history classes, taught by ten teachers, develop in pupils an active appre- ciation of their civic and social responsibilities, lead them to understand clearly how peoples have reached their present stage in civilization, and train them, by honest in- vestigation and sensible discussion, to reach conclusions about social and political problems, ABBOTT, MR, FREDERICK Public Speaking Department, Head Columbia U., Southwestern U., Missouri Teachers' Col., Westmoorland College, London Collegiate Inst., Spons., Thespians, ALEXANDER, MRS.

Sixteen English teachers present a rich course of study from English III through English X, also the journalistic work connected with the school newspaper and the school yearbook.

Clicking busily away at their machines, Miss Birdwell's Sewing IV class work on their spring dresses. There is dignity and beauty in this home service training. As a career for women, home making offers great opportunity for leisure, for growth ot mind and spirit, tor exercise ot the body. Groups of happy girls enjoy the Ietterson sewing classes five periods each day. 'NWCLYU r. K 'x.,'l Wife X 19, gl . ..s.. c , V. x 'D I Page 2.
