MATHEMATICS He who knows not mathematics cannot know any other science, and, what is more, he cannot dis- cover the source of his ignorance or find its true remedies. -Bacon The youth of today lives in a world of scientific achievement, and it is in this world that he must find his place. Mathematics develops in him the power of understanding and of analyzing rela- tions of quantity and of space which are necessary to an insight into and a control of his environ- ment. lt helps him to appreciate the progress of civilization. lt awakens in him a desire for thor- oughness, clarity, and precision. It develops those habits of thought and of action which will make him advance in wisdom before God and man. N. Snyder, E. Rauterkus, B. Frascella, L.

Each ensuing year has brought more equip- ment and more enthusiastic students, who, under the alert eye of Sr. Dorothy, enioy the pleasant, musical atmosphere as the rhyth- mic click of their keys keep time with a vari- ety of typing records. Eager shorthand ex- perts, painstaking bookkeepers, and accu- rate typists all advance, not only towards an efficient career in the business world, but towards promoting the business of Christ in an atmosphere where He is often forgotten. Carol Rawlinson, expert on the keyboard, knows the correct position of the well-trained hands. ,HZMM
