Tb fW m P = PHYSICS m Physics is a very important and interesting science. One year in this department is ©tiered as an elective. The work consists of a combination of oral instruction, the study of a text book and lal oratory work. By oral instruction the pupil is enabled to see just what phenomena are to lie the subject of each study. From the text book he may obtain a logical ami accurate outline of the facts and explanations, with formulated statements of definitions and principles relating to the subject. The purpose of the laboratory work is three fold: To illustrate the general principles of the science and thus to impress them more deeply upon the mind, to acquaint the student with experimental methods of reaching and verifying the truth: to cultivate the habit of thoughtful observation, and the power to reason logically and to express thought correctly.

It deals with the projierties of matter, the changes which affect the composition of matter, with numerous laws and theories, and with the manufacture of a vast number of different substances indispensable to the welfare of mankind. It is largely a study of chemical changes. This branch of study involves the combination of oral instruction, the study of a text book, and laboratory work. We now have a laboratory on the third floor of the building, well equipped for this work. Only one year of chemistry is offered. 18
