The primary aim of the Foreign Language Department is to develop the ability of the student to understand, speak, read and write the language being studied. The offerings are in French, German, Latin, Russian and Spanish. The student is required to take a minimum of two years of one language to cover the basic groundwork. For those who excel in the language and are interested in continuing the language in college, perhaps to pursue a language career, advanced courses in the third and fourth year are offered. The Foreign Language Department has rapidly expanded in recent years and gives no evidence of slowing down its present rate. RITA KOPEC. B.A. Montclair State DOROTHY PARKS. M.A. LORRAINE POTOCKI.

BUSINESS Although business education is normally thought of as vocational educa- tion, it includes many valuable personal-use courses. Some of these are recordkeeping, business law, and consumer education. These classes repre- sent the only real opportunity many young people have of learning how to manage their own personal business affairs. Federal statistics reveal that the average family head makes over $200.000 during his lifetime. He must provide himself and his family with basic neces- sities and with as many luxuries as he can afford, such as financing a home, providing an education for his children, buying insurance, maintaining tax records, etc. Business law can help to provide him with an understanding of contract negotiations and how to avoid legal entanglements. Recordkeeping develops skills in keeping personal tax records, balancing the checking account, and budgeting. Consumer education develops his knowledge of effective buying. These personal business courses can help to contribute to a more efficient and responsible future generation. and apply it practically to modern living ... MARY DULEMBA, M.Ed.
