X MXNXXXX Mathematics The war has brought about so insistent a demand tor skill in mathematics that this department is becoming one of the most vital in the curriculum. Developing pow- ers ot analysis and reasoning and attaining mathematical skill are major ai-ms. THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT endeavors to meet the mathematical needs of all pupils, to make sure that every graduate knows certain fundamental processes, and to give senior boys with average ability a knowledge ot advanced math required by the armed forces and industry. Speakers from the service and from industry have addressed upper-grade students, impressing upon them the dominant role that mathematics plays in the curriculum during the present war period.
