ENGLISH The English course gives opportunity in the first semester of each year for development in grammar, sentence structure, and diction. The second semester courses give emphasis to literature. A maintenance program of essentials is used also. Frequent short tests are given to master a few fundamentals. The work of the two semesters balance and form a background for following courses. Four years of English are required. Students who show themselves adept may sub- stitute journalism for one year of English. This course gives thorough training in composition and practical newspaper work. Rose Ballard Annie E. Ferguson, B.S. Sarah C. Laraway, A.B. Ada Blanche Lauck, A.B., A.lVI. Carolu L. Schutz, A.B. Cora L. Stoddard, A.B. Lyal E. Westerlund, A.B. SOCIAL SCIENCE The social science department aims to give the student a knowledge of social conditions and good citizenship. European history is offered to all students. Only juniors and seniors are eligible for American history which is required for grad- uation. They may also choose commercial geog- raphy, civics or economics which deal with politi- cal, business, and industrial problems. A course in freshman social science is also offered.
