He also states, in answer to his question, that the outstanding purpose of the Math department is to give a working knowledge of the fundamentals of arithmetic, and to teach the practical application of it, in every day life. The various subjects taught are: aritlnnetic, which is the basis of all math- ematical subjectsg algebra, the subject that teaches the correct channels of tliottfgltt, and is followed by geonietry, which brings out the power of logical teasoningg trigonometrj' is a content subject, and is taught mainly for what the student obtains from it. ln general, this department offers some knowledge of mathematics to those students who possibly will not complete the High School course, and helps to build thc foundation for those who continue this work in college. . 4 2 W 71 ,, W, W,,,,,, . .ti,,MsMWM, HHWHHIIIIIIIIUHIWWWWWW f L Q at Z 7 4 32 fe!

Nli of the most progressive departments in Kittanning High School is the com- mercial department. L'nder the supervision of the director, George C. Stover, many new improvements and changes have heen instituted. A new class, Secretarial Practice, was added to the course in Septemher, 1929. This class is very comprehensive, including a course in tiling, secretarial technique, husiness crtrrespondence, and etiieiency in operating commercial machines. The class was told of many very interesting experiences in the outside husiness world. Research prohlems constituted much of the work of the second semester. The shorthand part of the curriculum has developed very rapidly. A repeat class was formed at the end ol the tirst semester for those who had failed that part of the course. This group was instructed hy a practice teacher. Bookkeeping classes are now progressing to the extent that there are three years of this snhject taught in the curriculum. This work is taught hy hoth regular and practice teachers. Much practical experience was gained from the typewriting' course, also. Bank state- ments, wills, deeds, and other legal papers were typed and thoroughly studied hy the students. A class taught during the lunch hour, instructed hy tl practice teacher, was started this term to take eare of the large nninher of students wishing to take tirst year typing. junior husiness training and rapid calculation were taught as one course this year, each suhject constituting a semester's work. The students taking this course were also given some of the essentials of commercial law. The students taking Ct!-Illllltflillll Law were very fortunate in having the opportunity to attend the proceedings at the local court house. lt is the instructor's helief that hear- ing the actual trials at court explained the theory of the text much clearer than class discussion. Next year's commercial course will he entirely revised. lt has heen decided that sophomores must major in either shorthand or hookkeeping. Each student who takes tip commercial work must complete at least two and one-half years of his major to get a diploma from the commercial department. ill ll at ?
