' andaeueag Sciences form the corner- ' stone of the great cooperative enterprise of our century. Par- ticularinterests and abilities of pupils very often blossom under these studies so that given pro- per recognition and direction these hold the most promising as- surances of more effective and more profitable Work in later life. ln fact, they deal with concepts and rules of thought common to all be- ings . Without a minimum of under- standing and appreciation of the more ordinary aspects of science, one cannot boast of possessing a highly-valued liberal education. But if sciences have caused the modern world to advance with gigan- tic strides on the path of progress, mathematics has become not only an indispensable medium, but the most in- tellectual of all disciplines. Pinpoint accuracy in reasoning and operation is an obvious requisite, and by this is the mind disciplined in its judgments and reasoning abilities. Mathematics is vital to both industry and business and is rec ognized as an integral part of every youth' education. 1. 3Cu+8HN03 -e ???? 2.

Q I 0m44dcu,4dawMx No field contributes more direct- ly to the objectives of secondary ed- ucation than do social sciences in the Catholic High School. Social Sciences help the students to build up their character, their personality, and their religious life. Through these studies they learn to become good citizens, combining love of country and re- spect for the nation's traditions with an appreciation of its achieve- ments and a realistic view of its shortcomingsg they also learn to become leaders in their homes and among their friends and as- sociates. Social Sciences contribute to the rebuilding ofa Christian so- cial o rde r by implanting the Christian social principles in all students so that strong Christian social attitudes may flower as vibrant Christian social vir- tues. Social Sciences train the pu- pils to understand their rights and duties in relation to the family, the local community, the state, and the community of nations, and develop in them the essential habits and atti- tudes for exercising these rights or discharging these duties. Social Sciences train the s tud e n t s fo r intelligent, honest, devoted service to country, and for zealous, thoughtful, and socially ef- fective membership in the Mystical Body of Christ. 1.
