Our schools offer all these arts, and each course helps develop a better understanding and ability for these arts. To go com- pletely through school without taking at least one of these courses would he like eating just plain bread, when we could have it with jelly and jam. The arts enlighten our lives and also they may help find our future work for us. We may never become a great artist, musician or actor hut we can find and fill our interests in these arts, no matter how large or small.

Mrs. Jeffie Kneip Plane Geometry Algebra Mathematics Mathematics were first applied as a science by the Greeks in the year 600 B.C. Only the most learned of that day were acquainted with the art of using numbers, and often mathematics were looked upon by the people of that day as the highest rank of knowledge. Geometry had its beginnings in Egypt along the Nile when the people there first found need to survey and irrigate their land. The divided sections of land created the first geometric figures. Algebra was being used as early as 1800 in its simplest forms by Arabians. Today the science of mathematics has grown into every thing we do. Not only do we find it in our bridges and skyscrapers, but also in our everyday problems, for we jearn to transfer the logic and reason we receive from it into the solving of the problems of daily living.
