IC Department of Mathematics. fc H. H. JoURNEY, Instructor. As there exists in the mind a capacity for measuring, the object in the work in mathematics is to satisfy this. i' Power to measure comes largely through the ability to reason well, and so, much emphasis is placed upon the reasoning in various steps. The practical appli- cation is always sought. . The courses here offered are sufficiently extensive for admission into any of the colleges and universities of Indiana. FIRST YEAR-First Term. Algebra. Second Term. Algebra. SECOND YEAR-First Term. Algebra. A Second Term. Algebra. 1 Remarks:-Much stress is laid upon factoring, theory of exponents, quadratics and the use of the equation. In this course the application of Physics and the ad- vanced work in mathematics is kept in view. The student observes three steps in attacking a problem, lst, Construction, 2nd, Equation or Problem, and 3rd, Solution. and finds but little difficulty in making the transition lto lst, Data, 2nd, To prove. and 3rd, Proof of Geometry.

fi Department of Science. .1 W. F. CLUTTON, Instructor. Science develops the tive gate-ways of knowledge 4 the live senses. It also develops accuracy, neatness, pointedness of description, reason and comparison. As taught in the high schools it furnishes a basis for livelihood, which Herbert Spencer considers the prime motive of education. QVTLINE OF P. H. S. SCIENCE Coificsli. ' FIRST YEA1c,efeZoology. A study of the anatomy, function of organs, and development of types of the branches of the animal kingdom, as insects, lish, frogs, birds, etc., the relation they bear to their surroundings and to one another, laying stress on those animals which areebeneticial as well as on those which are injurious to man. SECoND YEAH, A -A Botany. A study of structure, morphology, and physiological relations of seeds, ger1nination,roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, their relation to light, heat, soil, moisture, to one another. and to animal life. Also a Herbarium of twenty-live plants. THIRD YE,i1c,ePhysics. Study of laws: experiments proving them, mathematical problems, and the practical application of them, of mechanics - heat, light, SOL111d, GlGCffiCi'fY3 of machines, as dynamos, motors, telegraph, telephone rmfl 93521111 611giU9S- 'A FoU1e'rH Y12Aie,e-Cheiiiistry. A study of the occurrence. preparation, properties, test, and uses of the ele- ments, as well as their important compounds. Laws governing chemical reaction, equations, nomenclature, and qualitative analysis of compounds. In each branch of study the student is expected to keep a data of his observa- ACIOHS. and to make suitable drawings to illustrate the experiments. Students in Botany and Zoology are required to collect their own specimens. '1 ,A , ll l i ev d im liii' A A l
