V -ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE CURRENT- RESISTANCE SCIENCE SCIENCE is the study of the physical environment of man and the way in which man is affected by it, It is estimated that about hfty percent of Manual graduates take some course in science, as 423 students were registered in that department the first semester of the past year. The science department, like all other departments, has changed greatly since the early days of Manual. Perhaps the most radical change is the use of the motion picture as an integral part of teaching in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. In biology, pictures take the place of microscopic drawings, showing plant structure and bodily functions just as plainly: and in physics they are used to show experiments that cannot be performed in the classroom. There are also many more Held trips, giving the student a firstfhand knowledge of things only read about before. Changes of the same kind have been taking place in the other divisions of science teaching until today science is one of the most absorbing subjects taught in Manual.

HUXK DU YOU FIND THE CIRCUMFERENIIE OF A CIRCLE? MATHEMATICS MATHEMATICS courses have held their popularity through the years at Manual. The above is true. in large measure, to the fact that the modern machine age requires at least a practical mathematical education, Of course, those who plan to enter the engineering Held. or any branch of science, must take more specialized courses. Every student who completes the eighth grade takes some course in this subject, but those who continue their education take much more. In the early days of Manual. highly technical courses were given, designed primarily to prepare people for college entrance. These courses are still given, if many people desire them, but consideration is given to the needs of both the students who will not continue with mathematics, as well as those interested in engineering and other vocations requiring mastery of the higher principles of this exact science. The technical progress of the world has been due, in large degree, to growth in the Held of mathematics, for such advances depend vitally upon accuracy of measurement. Thus, though methods of teaching and objectives have changed. mathematics retains the same high place today that it held in the early days of Manual. SEE WHO CAN FINISH FIRST Elem-vi

In order to keep up with this everfchanging pace, the schools are offering to the pupil of today the very best in business courses and training. It is said that in the world of today an individual cannot act without aiiecting others: therefore, a commercial education must teach a pupil not only an under- standing of one form of business, but also an understanding of that business in relation to the process of social living. During the early days at Manual, one teacher had charge of the commercial classes, equipped with mediocre equipment. Classes in typewriting were held simultaneously with shorthand courses, one teacher directing both classes through a glass partitioned door. The Hands of Time have changed the methods of instruction vastly in this important part of the work of the commercial student. Trained teachers are employed and scores of business machines are used by the modern student of Commerce. GUESS WHAT? SHORTHAND SPEED DEMONS! Thivtccn if ill?
