Nll X EOREHGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT RT IC. CSl.ATI liI,'I'If1R lui: teaching of foreign languages seeks not only the results of all gootl teaching, such as habits of appli- cation, of concentration, of thoroughness, of accuracy and of discriminating judgment, but also certain specific objectives. In the modern foreign languages we strive to give the stuclent an acquaintance with the history, geography, literature. art and government of the people whose language is being studiedg the ability to read the foreign language without translation, to understand the foreign language when spoken, a well-established basis for speaking the foreign language when the environment for the necessary practice presents itself and the ability to write the foreign language in its simpler forms. ln Latin, in atltlition to the general aims already mentionetl, we strive for the following specihc obiec- tives: power to reatl and understand Latin, an improve- ment of the pupil's linglish, and some appreciation of Rome and the Romans. lfrmil Row' hliss hfclbfvrizrltl, hliss Ort.

SOCTAL STlUlDlIES DEPARTMENT VIYHE ultimate aim of this department in general is to prepare for right and complete living, to develop Citizenship which will hnd expression through high ideals, proper social contacts and relationshipsg and I feel this is being done through research, current history studies and oral reports, project and discussion work. Vive are also trying to adapt our work and our teaching to the needs of pupils in this changing social order of thingsg trying to make our teaching more practical so that pupils xxjill be taught to litre and be prepared to meet these changing life situations. This department especially lends itself to this type of work. and I think the need is urgent. MRS. HELICN Y. SMITII 3 l lirmit Ruff' flX1iss Lrrpqin. Mr. Trzrllner. Nlrs. Smith.
