A comprehensive view of World and American History is given to each student, with opportunities for further study in Economics, International Rela- tions, Occupations, and Everyday Psy- chology. Realizing the importance of familiarity with the functioning of government, the upperclassmen included a study of state and local elections in their curriculum. Propaganda devices were also covered. A knowledge of the people of the world and of their cultures, so essential in view of today’s increasingly delicate relation- ships with foreign countries, is the fore- most aim of the department.

Conversation is now the predominant factor in the instruction of a foreign tongue, for a vocal knowledge is more valuable to the student than a strictly mental comprehension. Most in- termediate and advanced classes are conducted by speaking the language. The language laboratory is still in the plan- ning stage for Red Bank High School. Several teachers have attended courses concerning lab- oratory instruction. Red Bank’s department offers three-year courses in French, German and Spanish, and a four-year course in Latin. The first year is devoted to the study of grammar and vocabulary; the second, to further grammar and an introduc- tion to literature; and the third and fourth years, to literature and history. The format varies slightly with each language. Geographic study is included in the language courses.
