ADVANCED SCIENCE is on the same principle as general science, except it goes deeper into the subject. Mr. Oehrke is conducting as experiment on the electrolysis of water. GAIL OEHRKE B. S. Central Missouri State Warrensburg, Missouri Graduate Work at Kirksville American History, World History General Science 8r Advanced Science Keeping up with the orld ln this scientific age, when one can travel to the opposite side of the earth in a matter ofa few hours, it is most important that a person be informed about and have an understanding of national and world conditions. To help him get this understanding, the Bucklin student has the opportunity of taking four units in social studies: namely, civics, world history, American history, and American problems. The need for science in today's world is an ever grow- ing field. The study of matter and energy, so important in everyday life, necessitates a study of science. The basic purpose of scientific education at the secondary level is not specialization through verbal mastery of information. Rather, it is this period that should be considered pri- marily a time of intellectual discovery and to the acquir- ing of further scientific and theoretical knowledge. Bucklin school offers the student the opportunity to take general science, advanced science, biology, and chemistry. He can prepare for everyday life or for going on to higher education.
