Several teachers from among the
leading specialists in the different
courses offered in E. T. have contrib-
uted their opinions upon what is the
most Important subject in the College
curricula. Basing their opinions up-
on its prominence and importance ia
social life, and the pertinency of its
relation to the purpose of the school
they have chosen English.
Verbatim of scene of the teachers
are. Mr. Neu: '*1 would come very
near putting English first. If a per-
son doesn't know how to use and un-
derstand English, he can't understand
or get thoughts from the pages of
history; he can't write intelligently so
that other people can understand his
thoughts; in tact, in America the key
to learning is a good understanding
of our Mother tongue. I really think
English is the tool and if you know
that, you can get the other subjects
by yourself."

SCIENCEBUILDING
OLD STRUCTURE
Playing before an audience Friday
night of more than five hundred, the
cast of “Clarence" scored a signal
triumph for the newly organized Com-
■ nunityy Theatre project by Miss
Maud Webster, who coached the play.
The observation was made by many
that the parts of the play were well
cast by the coach, as may have been
judged by the many laughs which
greeted the speeches of the actors.
Although there were times when
Clarence, played by Robert Whitley,
failed to show just th»- right response
to the situations, and although
times Clarence's face registered
certain blankness, he was a a whole
fairly well impersonated.
