NORTHXVIESTERN UNIVERSITY, IL M.A. During Thanksgiving vacation all the Colorado Springs English teachers had an opportunity to attend the annual con- vention of the National Council of Teachers of English in Denver, which featured well known speakers and dis- cussion groups. Displays from Palmer High School containing notebooks, term papers, and a sample newspaper by the students were exhibited. Remedial reading and reading improve- ment courses, the enriched or CH groups, the journalism and yearbook classes along with the regular grammar and literature classes in all three years make up the English curriculum. Films, tapes, and records are used as aids. The literature course places emphasis on appreciation, the understanding of people, authors styles, and the improve- ment of vocabulary. Grammar and lit- erature are one semester each for the sophomores and juniors while the seniors and enriched groups mix the two through- out the year.

Courses offered within the department, including American history, world his- tory, world geography, and sociology, attempt to foster a sense of responsibility and a desire for participation in public affairs. Training for citizenship is one of the major aims of the department, and it is important for citizens in a democracy to understand the world as it is today, how the past has brought this about and what the future portends. Audio-visual aids such as films, tapes and maps are used for enrichment in this department. Mr. McGraw, a Biblical expert, shows his collec- tions of Bibles written in many different languages.
