This seem'ing'ly large enrollment is to he expected in a modern and up-to-date school when we consider the many applications of science in every day life. The study of sciences has a vocational value for many. l.ahoratory technique is an art which the students will make much use of in the jolms which they will acquire after they finish their high school course. This is particularly true of first months of their employment. They will need much information on scientific subjects, although their work might he largely manual. Scientific thinking is only another name for complete thinking. In scientific thinking, conclusions are reached hy careful analysis of the data at hand, after which these conclusions are tested hy practical application to particular cases. Page twentyfone

Shorthand, Typing, Office Practice, Commercial Law, Salesnianship, Secretarial Practice. The purpose of the Try-Out course, is to give A students enough bookkeep- shorthand and typing to let them discover whether or not they are in any ing, 1 wav adapted to the course . This tends to eliminate changing courses later on in their regular high school work. Xthen a student has finished the bookkeeping course he is fitted to take a position as bookkeeper. Shorthand and Typing are popular subjects, as students realize the benelits to be derived from this knowledge. Students in Secretarial Practice do stenographic work for various organizations in the school, Office Practice is a course which aims to fit the student for general oiiice work-tiling, telephone, ditto, and mimeograph practice, as well as work on vari- ous adding or bookkeeping machines. judging by the sales talks that have been given in Salesmanship, it would nd of the twentieth centurv will see well-informed, courteous sales people everywhere-either through the direct or indirect influence of those seem that the e who have taken the course. A study of Commercial Law will show the close relationship between the law and' the individual. The student will learn to know his rights and the rights of others and will then be cautious in entering business transactions, thus avoid- ing much trouble.

History desires to train him in a critical attitude toward historical material both past and current, and to develop in him the ability to separate the credible from the unreliable. Finally it is the wish of this department that its students may receive here a simulus to become thoughtful, critical, responsible citizens. Page twenty-two
