In reading the thoughts and deductions 0f the greatest minds of all time, we ourselves experience a menrai stimulus. Learning the attitudes other human beings have taken toward mans origin, earthly struggles, and destiny helps us to develop a phiiosophy of life. Studying all types of characrers and their reactions to various experi- ences broadens our knowledge of hm man nature. Worth- while literature, which is beautiful in itself, continu- ally transforms from commonplace to beautiful, things we have always be- fore regarded as uninteresting. A knowledge of English provides a means of intercourse with other people; half the joy of living is. that which accom- panies the expression of individual opinions, whether in spoken or in writ- ten words. English is perhaps the most important of all academic subjects be- cause a thorough understanding of it assures one of having ideas worth communicating, and of knowing how to express those thoughts to others.

iATHiHiiiEMiATHiC78 SCIENCE, INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, IENGI- NEERING-all have been enriched by their commingling with mathematics. The fact is fast being established that all nature of the universe works according to mathematical formulas and it is the avowed purpose of the geniuses of this Field to discover these formulas. Because of its basic foundation in nature, every held of industry and every act of the human being finds that it has some relation to the numbers and their functions. School authorities have recognized this fact. Hence, eight years of fundamental math are required and four more years of more specialized work are optional. The work of the first eight years is purely elementary; it is in the 13ml four years that algebra, plane and Solid geometry, trigonometry and college algebra offer an outlet for the studentsi individual expression of initiative and ambition, Prac- tically all the colleges and universities of the United States require two or more years of experience in this field. By virtue of pre- cision and accuracy demanded by this exact- ing work every student should have received great beneht from his contacts.' It is not in this science alone but in its application to human life and government that men may increase their material and spiritual welfare and enrich the potentialities of posterity. ARTHUR H.

MHIUWUQ Allele AMHHUETW088 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE music, art, and physical education departments of the school has, until recently, been much underestimated. The public has continually stressed their frivolity and has called them the most useless adorn- ments of the modem educational sys- tem. During the last few years, however, many adults have come to realize the desirability of possessing a cultural background to supplement their academic or vocational training. We students, though we have not yet had a chance to experience that need, know that we shall feel it in years to come and, through out work in these three departments, have already devel- oped a love for music, att, and danc- ing. Our orchestra has played works that the Cincinnati Symphony Orches- tra plays; our Choral Club has given an opera the Zoo Company presents; our gym department has put on a revue similar to a professional production; cut art department has illustrated a newspaper, a magazine, and a year- book. Our work along these lines cannot compare with that of master musicians, artists, dancers, at athletes, but in attempting what the artists achieve, wevhave discovered for our- selves the beauty and richness of a cultural life.
