. 7 V -Y W W Y Drawing and art work are im- portant subjects. Instruction in all phases of art is given. Many people take this course as the foundation for more advanced study along this same line at a later time. The art department furnishes almost all the placards and posters which are used in school. Another thing for which they deserve much thanks and praise is the drawings which appear in this book. The botany room is very delight- ful. In it are plants of all sorts. Botany deals directly with the study of plant life. lndirectly it teaches many other things. It develops openness of mind through discus- sion of subjects which would other- wise he forgotten. Through the discussion and study of the in- tricacies of the plant world it de- velops the powers of thought. Commercial subjects are essential, in that they give invaluable training along lines which are of practical use in later life. The aim of the commercial course is to release into the business life of the city a body of young people with a thorough background of general education, and a sound specinc trainirig in office routine and practice.

It is an ideal place for the teachers to congregate and 1 chat. Because it is so home-like it furnishes a fine place in which to 1 spend one's leisure correcting test papers or in the less judicial occupa- tion. reading. 1 l l lf Central boasts of one of the finest 1 i and most complete school libraries 2 in the state.

Nothing could be more fascinating than a study of prob- lems of this sort, The physical makeup of our country is studied in detail. Chemistry is the science of the senior year. It is a study of mat- ter. Two types of work are done. One is the study of the ingredients which make up matter, while the other is the study of the quantity of the ingredients in the matter. Daily class recitations are held on four days of the week and the fifth day is spent in laboratory work by the pupils themselves.
