.tt What this world needs is something newf' I wonder what will be invented next. With such comments on the tip of every tongue. it is DOI hard to guess why more students in the public schools are taking up sciences and laboratory subjects. ' Bell has been very well cqulpped for the study of such subjects as physics, chem- istry and biology. Modern equipment for experiments in chemistry and physics can be found in both of the large, airy laboratories, and biology students have two rooms in which to dissect specimens, study bones and hectograph papers. ' Since the school is very near a number of small farms and large plots of ground where poultry and livestock can be raised, the an'mal husbandry class is very popular in the school. Here students are taught the proper care and breeding of the poultry they raise as pets or to provide spending money. 'v Seventeen

' ln the world of today the invention oF powerful cars, streamlined trains, and mag- nihcent hoats has drawn the countries of the world much closer than ever hefore. Because of this it is more important than ever that students have a general knowl- edge of languages other than their own. ' Bell has a line language department where interested students learn Spinish, French, or Latin. Spanish and French are ollered for the entire high school course. Latin, however, is taught only for two years to those wishing to go on to college. The cluhs of this department provide interest in the social eustoms of the peoples.

The well equipped library offers wonderful op, portunity for every student. 7 Sixteen
