to Communication and Understanding As various parts of the world are drawn closer together through increased travel ami instant communication, modern man must be equipped with a sound knowledge of basic languages. The demand for mastery of several dialects grows with the realization of the need for better understanding which depends primarily on accurate com- munication of ideas and feelings. Recognizing the need for language study YHS offers courses in three pertinent languages: Latin, Spanish, and English. Stressing the value of Latin as the root language, Mrs. Eleanor Lester also conveys the cultural aspects of the Roman civilization. Dr. Gustavo Garcia, a native of Cuba, illustrates to students the sinnificance of Spanish as a key to understanding the Spanish- speaking neighbors in South America, Mexico, and Cuba. Since English is the mother tongue of Americans, it remains the most important language for the majority of students. Six versatile teachers seek to emphasize those principles of the English language which are vital for successful communication in our advanced society and which serve as a background for the study of foreign languages.
