HOFFEDITZ Head of Industrial Department WITH the arrival of victory in Europe our training of industrial workers for the war effort slowed down and by the time school opened in September 1945 our entire shop facilities were at the disposal of boys enrolled in this department. That was the tempo when school opened but con- stant changes keep us on our toes. Now we are receiving excess machines from the government to add to our total num- ber of training stations. The additional machines are causing us to do consider- able rearranging in some department. Also with the close of hostilities our men are returning home. These men want to get to work and want to learn how to do this job. This wanting uto learn howl' is the motive back of our having evening classes for adults. Some of these exten- sion classes will no doubt sometime be included in our daytime program. So we are ever alert to one good turn deserves another-turn. 30

STUART E. GLATFELTER Head of Department LANGUA EVERYONE believes in it, of course, but few possess it verily. It is in part an inheritance, and like all other legacies, it carries the responsibility of exploiting it for private pleasure as well as for the enrichment of the world and of one's life. This responsibility is the reason for the existence of Language Departments in the schools. Here at William Penn the teaching of people foreign to Latin, French, German and Spanish has changed in style, for much the same purpose as aircraft has varied in design to accommodate actual needs. The instructors are growing away from the my tired grandmother sees one pen in the garden school of thought. THERE is still rigorous attention to grammar patterns and to the necessities of pronuncia- tion, but there is also an enthusiastic effort to communicate the setting in which the languages are used. A Latin scholar will be a keener citizen or soldier for knowing something of the ways of the Romans in public assembly and in warfare, An apprentice in French or German will find familiar things in Paris or Berlin. The students of Spanish will sing a lilting bolero as readily as they will solve radical changing verbs. It's all quite free.
