English And Mathematics Still The Basic English is a vital part of our lives from the time we first learn to talk. The ability to write and speak English correctly is a definite asset for any vocation. At Madison, English is taught in many various ways; such as, panel discussions, text- book exercises, and speech class. Regardless of the occupation selected after graduation, a basic knowledge of mathe- matics is essential. The student may choose a course in elementary mathematics to gain skill in solving everyday problems, or he may en- roll in the more advanced courses of algebra, geometry, or trigonometry. The fundamentals of English and mathe- matics have not changed through the years. These courses will continue to be taught as an essential part of the Madison curriculum. In solid geometry class, Mr. Horein watches Kay Hayden prove that triangles are symmetrical to Albert Sherk and Bruce Whitehead.

The anxious beginners are tediously learn- ing to print and write. They are forever de- veloping their techniques for writing. The ele- mentary students learn the fundamentals of addition and subtraction for solving problems that occur every day. Later they go on to de- velop their mathematics through division and multiplication. Good study habits, attitudes, and skills must be formed in the beginning years be- cause they are influential for the student's fu- ture social life and learning. “Which comes first, the acorn or the oak tree, wonder P.
