QScience Science plays such an import- ant part in affairs of life that it is the aim of this department to familiarize the pupil with its ap- plication to the home and envi- ronment of the student. John Sawyer, a veteran of Boise High School who has watched the Science Depart- ment progress from almost in- significance to what it is today, is head of the department.

Physics deals with the lighting of houses, electricity as applied to machinery used in the home, sound in its necessary application and all other physical phenomena which enter into our everyday life. Chemistry acquaints the pupil with the common chemical reactions that occur daily, the chemistry of cooking, the chemical reaction outside the home and the part acids and bases play in the commercial world. Botany and Zoology are taught to acquaint the pupil with plant and animal life and to create a love for them. Students are taught the economic and social influences plants and animals play in our commercial life. General Science is a trying ground for students to determine whether they care for science and, if so, which branch has the greatest appeal to them. Jliathematzcs The purpose of the high school Matheniatics Department is to give the students ff some knowledge of what this great science means and make it possible for them to continue further in one of its branches if they so desire. Math gives excellent mental training and develops concentration. The high school oliers Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry, which are de- manded by most colleges as entrance requirementsg a semester each in Higher Algebra and Solid Geometry, which are required of students entering engineering schools, and a semester each of Trigonometry and Advanced General Matheniatics, particularly for those who wish to specialize in Engineering work at college or university. i Algebra is a brief way to write the explanations of arith- metic problems. It is a system- atic method of putting down the steps taken to get the answers to problems and may be thought of as a sort of shorthand. Geometry teaches the student to separate the essential from the non-essential. It is especial- ly fitted as a subject of study for the youthful mind, for it de- mands intelligence, imagination and diligence.

Students completing this course are well prepared for the business world without further training and many business men of Boise have expressed their appreciation of the type of stu- dent trained in the high school commercial classes. The subjects available are Bookkeeping, Junior Business Train- ing, Commercial Law, Shorthand, Typing and Commercial English. Individually, mutually, and in co-operation with the other departments, occasions for application of typing are innumerable. Office Practice trains students for practical office work. It gives a complete filing course and familiarizes the students with all office facilities. Commercial Law, which is a new subject this year, is a study of contracts, nego- tiable instruments, transfer of property, mortgages and relation of agents to principles. Commercial English is a review of grammar, sentence structure, spelling, punctua- tion and different types of business letters, while Bookkeeping is the study and prac- tice of keeping accounts accurately. Both courses are necessary in business training. Qoreign Language The Foreign Language Department strives to give the students an elementary knowledge of foreign language and at the same time a better understanding of the origin of English. As Latin is the parent of all Romantic language and most of our English words, it is worth while for any high school student to master. Four years of Latin are avail- able-Grammar, Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. The first two years of French deal primarily with grammar, While the third year course provides the cultural advantages peculiar to a language. One of the most inter- esting projects of the department is the correspondence in the second year between our students and students of English in schools of France. This helps the student to write as well as to read the language. Spanish, perhaps more than any other language, has a prac- tical application in the commer- f cial world. Culture is empha- sized particularly in the second and third years by the study of the art, literature and customs of Spain. For the first time since the World VVar, German is being taught in Boise High School. It requires study, but is very fas- cinating.
