nished much valuable service by checking attendance, serving books, and doing clerical work. Student attitude has been, for the most part, quite good. More and more of our students are beginning to understand that the library can furnish valuable aid in preparing their work and do appreciate this service. Let's make the library the center of the true Lanphier spirit. V. Jean Thomas LATIN DEPARTMENT Ethel Furlich In the Latin classes gathers the con- clave of potential Caesars and Ciceros and the equally important Cornelias who are to startle the world some day with their brilliance and training. As they learn the reasons for the strength and weakness of Roman civiliza- tion and government which is the great ancestor of ours, we hope they will be equipped to meet the problems of the future. In reading of great men we learn how to be great. The Horatius of the future is in training-watch for him! No lzteral tranelatmm please I atm Fifteen

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Don T. Anderson Rohn-rt M. Cain Nell .-X. Plain .Xriel Svsordes Commercial training in high school has two real functions. The first function is to aid the individ- ual to meet prohlems encountered daily in his effort to live wisely. economically. and efiiciently. Commercial training gives an elementary understanding of the legal importance of ordinary husiness papers. The student needs to learn to give thought to the value of character, reputation, and personality in cooperative living. and to his own responsibility to others. He must have the ability to keep accurate record of personal helongings. including assets and liahilities. and to type personal cor- respondence and husiness papers. The second function of liusiness train- ing. in advanced classes. is to develop skills sufficiently accurate and speedy to he of commercial value to the possessor. if he must liegin work when he finishes high school. Commercial training is serv- ing its purpose when it aids in the attain- ment of the ultimate goal. To aid the student to earn while continuing his edu- cation is another reason for acquiring skill in husiness sulnjccts. Such training is not the goal itself hut the means to a goal. lf e will mm' lfllfe l1il'fl1li0lI.', f Sliorlhruul. Fix!
