Singing in foreign language classes is fun. This is a class in first year Spanish. The Humanities and a Liberal Education ln our school the pupils are the recipients of a liberal education. They are the products of a philosophy of education that believes it is more important to learn how to live than it is to learn how to make a living. With this purpose in mind our school board, our principals, and our teachers have empha- sized in our curricula the humanities, the social studies, the sciences, and mathematics. What are the studies labeled the humanities? English, foreign languages, and the arts are the trilology in this classification. ln our program of studies English consists of English and Amer- ican literature and oral and written composi- tion. The foreign languages offered are Latin, French, and Spanish. An elementary knowl- edge of the written and spoken word of each of these languages is mastered in these courses. Unfortunately, our program in the arts is limit- ed to music. ln this field, however, we have enriched our offerings to include band, instru- mental and organ lessons, singing, chorus, musical history and appreciation, and theory. Why study English? Our pupils read good literature in order that they may grasp direct- ly the potentialties and norms of living as they are presented to them by the best writers. Oral and written composition is studied in order that the pupils may freely and effectively exchange thoughts. Why study foreign languages? ln our school the primary purpose of studying a foreign lan- guage is to have the pupils appreciate and realize that structure is the skeleton of all speech, and that words carry history with them. What of the arts? The arts bring delight, they train the emotions, they develop under- standing. The happiness of all people will be increased or decreased by the presence or ab- sence of aesthetic sensitivity to music, painting, drawing, and modeling, as well as to literature. Such an art as music cultivates the social skills. To sing in a chorus or to play in a band is to merge oneself with a larger and disciplined whole without losing one's own individuality. lfli':'.'n
