It is now apparent, however, that we must be able to meet other peoples of the world on their own ground. The objectives, therefore, have been broadened to include speaking and understanding the language. To reach these ends, a direct method French course has been introduced at the ninth grade level and language lab- oratory equipment has been purchased. Beginning courses in Latin stress the development of logical thought and the importance of correct study habits. Advanced Latin concentrates on the influence of Latin culture upon English literature as well as English vocab- ulary, The course in Cicero emphasizes the relationship between ancient Rome and modern politics. 9 Girls locate Rhone River as part of their lesson in geography of France. 8 T --d 'l Eg jl is-:ck '11 -lf -4, Students find excellent source material in the library. ,, e u -l fu- -.nw I Students trace the exploits of Jason and the Argonauts.

Though still interested in the traditional learning of titles and authors, he devotes much time to learning and refining his reading skills, thus pro- viding himself with keys to the great ideas. It is in these ideas that he sees the common ground of all the feelings and actions of all men. In learning to ex- press his ideas he has frequent opportunity to write long themes as formerly, but now he develops writing effectiveness by mastering the discipline of the single paragraph. The library, an indispensable adjunct to his English program, aids him in his quest for the liberation that ideas and power to express them bring.
