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

5 , - . Y 'Q-.-H-1 Mr. Scherich, Mr, Hough, Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Evans SCIENCE Chemistry, General Science, and Physics are the subjects taught in the Science department of Central High School. General Science is required of students in their 9th years' work while Chemistry and Physics may he chosen during' either their llth or 12th year. Approximately 875 students were registered in science classes during the past year. 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

The Latin Department offers four years of high school Latin, and a try-out course for pupils in the eighth grade. The latter is a ten-week course, designed to acquaint the pupil with the rudiinents of a foreign language, and to discover whether he has any aptitude for languages. This aids the student in the selection of his course upon entering high school, and has been the means of preventing many failures. ln the regular high school courses, including First year Latin. Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, the objective is two-fold-to qualify students who may wish to pursue the classical course in higher institutions, and to stress the practicality of Latin in its relation to English, so that students who do not intend to continue with the study of Latin may derive pracical as well as culural benefit from the course. Vtlith the latter aim in view, Latin mottoes, phrases, and abbreviations in common use are studied, and word derivation is particularly stressed for the purpose of increasing the student's vocabulary. The French and Cerman courses, by the reading of plays, stories, and novels, by dramatization and singing, and by conversation, endeavor to give the student a sound foundation in grammar, to develop conversational ability, t0 acquaint him with the finest literature of France and Germanv, and to awaken in the student an appreciation of the history, ideals, andiculture of these countries.
