Srnouu Science Science as a whole is broken up into many parts. Biology deals with living things, chemistry, with composition of substances, and physics, with forces such as heat, light, and electricity. These subjects are useful to the student not only after graduation, but also while he is attending school. They teach the student to observe his surroundings more carefully and to put these observations to practical use. They also help to increase the student's power of deduction and his ability to think clearly. Those who teach science are Mr. J. F. Stroud, department head, Mr. C. L. Pettigrew: Miss Gladys Richardson: Mr. A. B. Pankeng and Bliss lieoline Gates. Ilom e Econo m ics The general aims of education are stated to be the promotion and direction of inthe adjustment and growth of the indi- vidual so that he may live worthily in an ever changing societyf, The home economics department here at Jackson has accepted that challenge and through the teaching of homemaliing, foods, clothing, home hygiene, child development, and personality hopes to attain that goal. Teaching are Miss Eleanor Comstock, head of the depart- ment, Mrs. Martha Houser, M rs. ,lean Ramsey, and Mrs. Elizabeth Thurman. -ld' ,..u-Jipvf' ...,. 1, ELEANOR CoMsrocK EI,IZ,XIlETH THUn:smNg MARTHA HOUSERQ JEAN B.

Mom t Industrial Arts Y The study of industrial arts in the schools has many objectives. , Qi ,V Activities involving the use of tools and materials develop manual z ' ' skill, initiative, and creative thinking. Equally important is the appreciation, fostered by school train- ing in industrial arts, of the value of industrial work and its place in society. Pupils are taught to cultivate an inquiring mind regard- ing the various industrial processes, the people concerned in them, and the conditions under which they work. This leads to a concep- CLARKE KETZI-E tion of the dependence of one group on another, which is educa- tional and essential to sound economics and social life. Mr. Clarke Ketzle, department head, Mr. Herbert Clark, Mr. Orin J. Austerud, Mr. R. C. Mort, and Mr. George Mercer teach industrial arts. t 7 0 Social Science Civic illiteracy is one of the most outstanding threats to American democracy. The teachers of our social science department strive to lessen this danger, iirst, by presenting an historical account of . our predecessors, their customs, their religion, and their political viewpoints and the relation which they bear to our present system ' of government, and second by explaining the basic principles of a democratic form of government and the importance of the active participation of each citizen. This vitally important work is con- ducted under the guidance of Miss Clara Weltch, head of the de- partment, and her seven teachers. CLARA B- WELTCH yn t C Wfmi. :':-. , IQ PAUL C.

They record the march of history. French, Spanish, and Latin are taught here in Jackson. In Latin, taught by Miss Harriet Pfeifer, depart- ment head, and by Miss Helenmary Fritsch, one studies tl1c conquest of Gaul, the life of Caesar, and other interesting events together with the correct usage of grammar. Spanish, the lan- guage of our neighbors in this Western Hemisphere, is pre- sented by Miss Verna Soderstrom, who is head of Modern Lan- guages, and Mr. C. C. Cowdrey. Miss Mary Olive Jones is an instructor of French. Msg f 5, Mathematics HARRIET PHEIFER This department strives to encourage a sympathetic understanding of the culture, history, and social institutions of other peoples through its study of their written and spoken languages. One of the most important facts about the material world is that the EDNA K. SUTTON Loxs BYEHSQ KATHLEEN TURNEY Page Twenty objects in it can be counted and the masses can be measured. Pure mathematics--the science of num- ber and quantity unconnected with any material object - includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. These four constitute elementary mathe- matics. In its higher forms mathematics becomes a form of logic, a method of reasoning, in which the scholar follows through to their result any assumption that he lays down as basic. This subject is taught in J ackson by Mrs. Edna Sutton, who is head of the departmentg Mrs. Kathleen Turneyg and Mrs. Lois Byers. .i ,.......-.,..1. , W.. ..., , 4. , .,., A , ,....-,,-
