It occupies two recitation rooms, a wire- less room, and three large, well equipped laboratories, for Botany, Physics, and Chemistry. The Lecture room is so equipped as to be very suitable for per- forming experiments along with the class work, making the recitations very interesting, practical, and plain. E mlmziiin. Another asset to the Lecture room is the stereoptican machine which is frequently used by the Physics department. Our highly developed wireless department is indeed a striking example of the practical and scientific advantages of this course. The studies provided by this department are General Science, Botany, Zoology, Agriculture, Physics, and Chemistry. Two days of each week the classes spend two periods in the labora- tory, performing practical experiments that permit the students by actual tests to obtain a clearer understanding of the laws of nature and account for many of the common occurrences of everyday life. Another interesting and enjoyable, as well as instructive phase, of this course is the field trips the classes take each year. The Physics and Chemistry students usu- ally inspec.t the Water Works, Gas Plant, Artificial Ice Plant, and other places in the city. The Botany and Agriculture students take cross county hikes, making interesting studies in In Physics and Chemistry courses each student is required to select a topic for careful study, and on which he makes a final report near the end of the year. Some of the topics commonly studied are, tests for adulteration of milk, ice cream, and candy, the manufacture of soapy photo- graphy, and the construction and use of the electric furnace. The instructors of the scientific depart- ment are all new members of the faculty this year. They are Mr. Julian, Mr. Pe- ters, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Jackson. will-l'i - 11 , f will 1l:ul'z1,uviuiiimiiiwiinumiliilmvlumix iwuzilii-mniivivv iltm J A 11 .wwrwwmwmmwmwmumwwmumumumumuumuum TMMMMWWMMWMNWNWHNMMWWMWHWWWWWWWWhi l 1 i i 1 Page Zfl HWWMWMMMWWWMWWMWWMWWWM
