. . . therefore get wisdomg and with all thy getting get unclerstandingv - Proverbs IV: 7 ACADEMICS... Classes filled to the brim with students seeking knowledge depict the ever-present interest in edu- cation. Reasoning, accuracy, originality, and curi- osity are the vital requirements encouraged by the different departments. Applications of scientific principles explain com- plicated phenomena in the everyday language of the students. Step by step analysis and logical thinking help to solve common problems. Master- ing the techniques of grammar and gaining literary background increase the student's over-all span of knowledge, while studying history helps pupils better understand the problems of the future. Prac- tical courses in developing homemaking, industrial, or business careers provide experience and compe- tent training. Report cards are issued not only as an indica- tion of learning, but as an incentive-to ever build an increasing scope of intelligence.
