Another most essential part of any high school is the business department. For stu' dents who are not planning to enter college upon graduation but are seeking immediate employment, the business course offers instruction in not only the ways and means of business but the how and why of the business world. Aside from the routine studies, business students learn about partnerships, corporaf tions, administration of law, and contracts. Relationships between employer and em' ployee and the buyer and the seller are all stressed as well as the study of the American business system. General economics in business is important, too, because these young people are planning to someday take over and form new office jobs and proprietorships and make their own claim in competitive community life. A useful subject for those who wish to take it, home economics helps instruct girls to care for the home they will someday be expected to maintain. Within the courses laid out by this department they learn the art of sewing, whether M.

' But the teachers who instruct in any phase of math know the importance of getting their pupils to respond to simple ideas presented in a complex manner and to develop strong reasoning powers. These are qualities valuable to everyone, child and adult. The social sciences cover a wide range of learning, each part being important in itself. Knowledge of history is not primarily learning dates and generals. The student who reads between the lines in history books can see the emotions of man. The understand' ing of how the tides of the human race turn and how one man's power can create or def stroy is vitally important to the graduate who plans to be active in his community. With civics and economics well studied, young boys and girls have a fairly complete background concerning politics and general economics. Civics elaborates on what his' tory books quickly mention in regard to government and its operation. Earning a living, the problems one meets, and how to cope with them is brought out in high school in the study of economics.
