We wish to learn how clouds are formed and why they go awayg how steel is madeg why an electric current makes a frog's leg jumpg what an atom is and how it is used in pro- pelling a guided missile. The most important aim of our science department is to give each student an understanding of the physical and biological factors of our environment and an appreciation of modern technology and its influence on our lives. We suggest that everyone stand back.

LANGUAGE AND CULTURE MARGUERITE CHARLES G. MIRIAM DOROTHY I. HELEN BECK BLANTON BULGER DEAN RUSSELL German French Latin French HAYN ES Latin HOWARD M JONES French MILDRED MARGERY C. ADA RITA M.

By the use of textbooks and records the student becomes acquainted with the language itself. Through outside reading about the customs, habits, country, and cul- ture of the people where his language is spoken, through making Latin maps and scrolls, joining French club, singing songs in German, and talking to people who have lived or visited in Spain, the student is able to form an impression of what the people are like. By the end of his study of foreign language, the student obtains a knowledge of Latin, French, Spanish, or German, and an insight into the people who speak the language which he has studied.

That mathematician must develop spatial per- ception and facility with concrete expression of abstract con- cepts through wide and diversified experience in mathematics. Eut whether or not the student vvill ever attempt to evolve NORMAN L. time-space equations, he will gain through mathematics a GOODWIN sound basis for precise and logical thinking. Our mathematics A1geb,-3 111 department also helps Mt. Lebanonls students to achieve a mastery of practical skills and an understanding of the roles of deductive and inductive reasoning.
