To Dr. Airey there is a big difference between making a liv- inq and mal inq a life. We do not live by bread alone, he reminds us; and he advocates deep study of the masterpieces of literature, by which we vicariously broaden our experience. Miss Hayton brings to her classes in French and English the benefits of experience and travel. She would cultivate in her students dissatisfaction with anything but their very best. AGE lJR. W. J. AIREY and his capable co-teachers — Miss Alice Babcock, Miss Lillian Beatty, Miss Ellen Short, and Mr. W. T. Crandall — work to make their students more efficient in writing and reading English and more sensitive to all the great truth and beauty preserved in time-tested literature. Miss Margarete Ambs, Miss hlope Hayton, and Mr. Otto Racker aid unaccustomed tongues in conquering the Intricacies of foreign languages — French and Spanish and German. Mrs. Mabel Curtls-Romant trains scores of students to coordinate thought and speech, h er classes and speech choirs give students an increased respect for their mother tongue.
