Blayne Miller. ai., The Department ot English works upon the principle that it affords an Open Sesame to each and every student in his chosen field. It endeavors to develop in him such skill as will make easier his attack upon his other studies and will prepare him for advance study. Busi- ness English and special courses are planned to meet the needs of special pupils-remedial, vocational, and occupational. The course in literature introduces the student to some of the l I all best writers and strives to lead him into the habit of reading for his own pleasure, as well as for his improvement. Those who plan and execute these courses believe that a high standard in the use of his native language, whether spoken or written, furthers the equipment of the student for his own advancement and that the adoption of such a standard contributes to a better tone in his community. After all, this is English Class! ll
