GN VW, 1 M ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT W' Miss Freeman HSS Nichols Miss Tackles German French Latin Mr. Johnson Miss Sliney llli!1til!.'I1ll!liC.S' Mutlzematics Languages and Mathernaucs LANGUAGES HE knowledge of a foreign language gives a person increased ability in the use of English. It helps a person engaged in social service work to pro- mote contentment in the community. It is very useful to a professional person, especially to a physician or a pharmacist. Many of the most famous Works are not written in English and to translate them would spoil their beauty. Thirty-three and two tenths per cent of all the students of johnson have in- cluded a course of foreign language in their curriculum. Nineteen and tive tenths per cent are taking German, six and nine tenths per cent, French, and six and eight tenths per cent, Latin. As languages and mathematics are such important subjects, the percentage of the students taking them should be hi her. . MATHEMATICS ATHEMATICS is studied to enable one to apply its principles to the great sciences such as engineering, astronomy, chemistry, and physics. Someone has said that the scientist without mathematics is like the poet without words. It is one of the most practical subjects included in the school cur-- riculum. T Wenty-two and seven tenths per cent of the students at johnson are taking mathematics. After a year of general mathematics the student may take a semes- ter of higher algebra and one of solid geometry. These subjects are presented alternately. Page I7 4, Q, Qzf,-fgk-fQf
