Too many people outside the school system seem to think that the high schools in the United States are lacking in their training of the people who will lead our country in the discoveries of newer and better scientific devel- opmentsg and. that we will fall behind the Rus- sians in the race of technical advancements. Highly advanced courses in math and science are offered at Central. Courses such as calculus, solid geometry, analytical geometry, trigono- metry and college algebra are available to those students who wish to acquire knowledge in these subjects. Not only is the actual knowledge gained in these classes of a great value, but also the ability that the student develops in indivi-
