Latin. and Englislz I been a big factor in the higher standard of living we now enjoy. and sadly. in making war more destructive and ruinous to civilian populations. At Leo. a solid founda- tion in the laws of chemistry and super- vised training in laboratory technique pre- pare the chemistry student for more ad- vanced study and research in college. ENGLISH Hare is the person. in this fast-moving age of scientific discovery and material cori- fort. who knows how to read and write the English ,language perfectly. It must seem strange to others seeing Americans. the best educated and most progressive race on earth. unable to use their own language correctly. A man is cultured in proportion to the fluency with which he speaks and writes his own language. The value of English to a man is inestimablc. whether he be in busi- ness. public life. or any other occupation. Leo students must take four years of Eng- lish. The course is intended to familiarize the student with the classics of English and American literature. and the note-worthy authors of both countries. as well as how to write correctly. observing the rules of punctuation. spelling. and syntax. HISTORY The world's history from the time of the Egyptians until the end of the first World War is a required subject for all second year students. The never-ending pageantry of empires rising to greatness. and in turn being displaced by youthful. more vigorous nations is unrolled before the studcnt's l y99. ln senior year. American history and government are compulsory. lieading Ameri- ca's struggle for independence is an integral part in the education of a true American. The second semester of fourth year is given over to the study of the science of the government of America. the most nearly perfect on earth. Those wishing a major in history may take Irish History in fourth year. Rav. Ba. F. R. FINKIII fflwlnixlry am! M1lfh6'l7lIlfl.l'.9 U1'r1'f'Iur of .4tf1leIf1's . Page Nineteen lb- 'J l -Nl-fl' 'wlsfrlk
