Learn A Dialect Someone once said, All students should learn English so that they will know at least one language beside their own. In order to learn this other language we must work our way through compound and complex sentences, parallel construction, term papers, Greek drama, Shakespeare, Haw- thorne, and Sandburg. Then, if we desire additional training in this field, we may go into advanced composition, journalism, and dramatics. This year enriched courses have been provided for sophomores and iuniors, and an advanced course for seniors, including some college level work. Thus, Milford's English teachers instruct students in the functions of language and acquaint them with our literary heritage, as a means of implanting a new respect for the English language in pupils' minds.

Mucho gusto conocerle, seior. Quis dies est hodie? Foreign language expressions like these float into Milford's halls throughout the day as students practice their dialogues and conversation pieces. With such activities the language department tries to devel- op the skills of understanding, speaking, reading, and writing. Practical situations as subiects for conversations bring in- sight into the culture and customs of the country whose lan- guage is being studied. The new language laboratory, consisting of tape recorders, earphones, and a record player, provide a new and most ef- fective way of giving students opportunity to hear and imitate native voices. Both pronunciation and comprehension improve with use of the new equipment. Each year Milford's language department expands 'a bit. French III for several years was the only advanced language class. This year Latin III was added and next year the de- ' partment may have Spanish Ill. min 1, Although foreign language is associated mostly with the academic course, any student may request admission to the course provided he meets the requirements.
