Since everyone must communicate with his fellows through one medium or another, the English department renders a service so desirable that every student is required to come under its influence for a certain length of time. The department, recognizing that the world judges character largely by an individual's use of his mother tongue, endeavors to prepare students to speak and write correctly and effectively. The Instructors believe that this reasonable mastery of language increases capability in one's work and makes for a more efficient life. By imparting an appreciation of literature, a study of men in their best moods,” the courses in literature add a breadth and fullness to the experiences of the student. Such an appreciation. together with an ability to recognize what is good and beautiful in human expression, is invaluable in the use of leisure time and in interpreting day-by-day experience.

EDUCATION HUGH M. TIMER. A.B.. M.A. Dean. Professor ol Education. FRANCES JOSEPHINE EASLEY. B.S.. M.A. Associate Professor ol Education. Although the primary objective of education courses is to prepare teachers, the department feels obligated to perform a selective function. Since any worker in the educational field affects the lives of many people, it seems expedient to the education professors to grant majors only to those students who prove qualified in scholarship, character, and general personality to direct the training of children. Courses in both elementary and secondary education have specific value for the prospective teacher, but they are additionally valuable for all persons who will be required as citizens to react in an intelligent manner toward the educational problems of their children and their communities.

CALLIE MAE COONS. A.B.. B.S.. Ph.D. Prolessor o! Home Economics. BILLIE ROYSE BOYDSTONE. B.S. Associate Professor ol Homo Economics. HOME ECONOMICS The home is truly the bulwark of civilization, but unless the home performs its functions well, the progress of civilization is hindered. This truth explains the presence of home economics courses in the school curriculum, for ideal homes cannot be had without trained homemakers. Certainly no vocation requires more knowledge and as many varied skills as that of creating a home which will produce the highest type of individuals. Home economics courses give what much study and experiment in the field of homemaking have found to be the most effective and time-saving methods of conducting the activities of the home. These findings are not presented merely in the form of a theory, but laboratory periods are provided where the girls have opportunity to test those methods. Studies in home economics acquaint the prospective homemaker and home economics technician with the problems connected with the family, the household, and the home. The department offers a program varied enough to appeal to the woman interested in dietetics, adult education, institutional management, nursery school work, or the teaching or commercial phases of clothing or foods.
