Faculty HE history department has expanded greatly, for there are now fourteen instructors teaching American, medieval, modern European, English, world, and ancient history, civics, and economics. Miss Edith Foulke is the chairman of this department. The physical education department has grown also since the first gymnasium director was procured with funds raised by a concert given Tby a Girls' Choral Society in 1893. The first athletic teams organized were the Baseball Nine and Football Eleven, sponsored by the Boys' Athletic Association. Now all sports are under the direction of trained coaches and instructors. The library is one of the oldest of Central's institutions. It was organized when Central was under the supervision of the first principal. Later its management was taken over by Miss Newson, a Central graduate, and after her our present registrar, Miss Keane, was librarian. 22

A l Faculty NOTHER significant contrast with the past is the growth of the science department. Chemistry classes have long been overcrowded. The greater interest in physics, biology, and physiography has brought the number of students instructed lby the science department to Well over seven hundred. Actual laboratory experiments in- crease the powers of perception of the students and enable them to understand the world in which they live. Dr. F. G. Miller is chairman of this department. In mathematics, too, Central has moved forward. Courses in plane geometry have been systematized to meet the ability of the students. The work in higher algebra has been lengthened to a full year with greater advantages to the student. Studies in solid geometry and trigonometry are based on the requirements of engineering schools. Miss Helen Heck has charge of the department this year. Shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, and business English are the component parts of the commercial depart- ment. A complete business course enables most students to qualify for positions upon graduation. The functions of this section are directed by Miss Ellen Simon.

In 1893 a choir was started whose duty it was 'Ito assist in the morning exercises and to put new life into the singing. Since l902 the place of this organization has been taken by the Glee Clubs. Another department, manual arts, is made up of five separate sections: shop, turning, forge, mechanical draw- ing, and cabinet making. Many interesting subjects, such as art woodwork and aeronautics, are taught by this depart- ment. These courses are comparatively new and are becom- ing increasingly popular. The tine arts section is also a recent project. Thumb Tacks and Triads, two clubs sponsored by this depart- ment, design most of our scenery and posters. These scenic designs are executed by the stage force. Commercial art, modeling, illustration, publication, free hand drawing, and design are the divisions of this section. 1 v
