It: lias been the aim of the department to give to the pupil not only a foun- dation upon which he can build in the future, but, should his formal schooling end with the high school, he would go ou1 ihe better fitted to comprehend the beauty, power, and precision of nature, as well as to understand the intrica- cies of our scientific age. That more than nine hundred pupils are served by the six instructors in the department, is ample evidence that the unification is a success. Our laboratories, through the farsightedness of the Board of Education, are excellently fitted for the performance of the most useful experiments and lend as well a proper atmosphere for study. Moreover, we are indebted to the A. C. M. ( ' ompany and the Montana Power ( Jompany for many valuable pieces of apparatus, which, were it not for their interest in the schools, we would not have. It is our hope that the department will continue to grow in value, not only to the pupils, but through a better trained citizenship, 1o the community as well.
