TEACHERS HELP US IN The main objective of the Jonathan Alder teaching staff is to develop students to their fullest potential. For this reason the school operates effectively with alert and capable leaders. This year Jonathan Alder was inspected by the State Department of Education. The school was' highly commended by the Department on several significant improvements. Among these was the fact that the educational program has been broadened and deve- loped in several ways to provide more adequately for the needs, interests, and abilities of the student. Also much use is being made of appropriate instructional materials by most of the departments. Each year the school attempts to acquire the latest in textbooks and equipment. Pur- chased this year were: textbooks for drivers' education, industrial arts, typing, and programmed algebra; equipment; projector, blueprint reading and drawing sets for me- chanical drawing, microscope and demonstration table for biology, and World Globe for the library. The Spanish department is devoted to the presen- tation of the correct usages of the language through the complete and thorough study of the various language patterns, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The student uses two devices in his study. They are his basic textbook, El Camino Real and the language laboratory. The latter allows the student to listen to native speakers and gives him practice in the pronunciation of the language. PETER CONWAY, B. A. , B. S. Spanish
