NileHi trained us well

 How often it has been said that verbal communication is the 

greatest deficiency of modern America.

 The English program at 
Niles,however,seems to present at least one outright contradiction 

to the rule.Having concluded three required years of English and encouraged to elect a fourth, the student has mastered the

 rudiments of grammar, has built a basic vocabulary, and has been introduced to the 
fundamental literary achievements.Those students who have

participated in the advanced program of studies, having chosen such

 courses as Composition, American Ideas, and Honors Reading, have gained 

not only the knowledge which accompanies extensive work, but also 
the literary appreciation coming through analysis and practical 

experience. Upon graduation, the Nilehi student goes forth adequately 
prepared to enter the adult world as a well-informed,

self-expressive individual.
