PHYSICS LABORATORY 19

Page 22 text:

[ This department in its new location on the second Hoor of the high school building is now better equipped than ever. The five new laboratory tables are ideal with their chemical-proof tops, steel standards and two lockers with private keys to each pupil. This means ample room for individual work and all that is now-needed is sufficient apparatus to give each student an opportunity to demonstrate and prove for himself the great laws and principles of the physical world. The change in the course of study which makes this subject optional will tend to produce a higher grade of work for only those will now study it who really desire the work and not merely to make a credit. The work is divided into three recitation | eriods and two double laboratory peri-ods i er week. The text followed is Practical Physics” by Black and Davis. The laws and principles develojHxl here are made more real by their demonstration in the laboratory through well chosen experiments. The total result is a practical working knowledge of the subject. MR. K. K. NKWI.AMI [ The chemistry department is now located in its well-lighted roomy quarters on the second floor of the new high school building. 1 he equipment of the laboratory is in line with that of the physics laboratory. One large table has been installed with sufficient room and lockers to accommodate sixteen pupils. Gas and hot water with waste pipe connections make this desk a model of convenience. There is sufficient space in the laboratory for the installation of two more tables of like dimensions. These will be added when demanded by the growth of the department. The work is divided into three recitations and two double laboratory periods j er week. This correlates the theoretical and practical sides of the subject in such a way as to give the best possible results. rShRrvi 3 is
