What does it hold for us? A vast realm of unexplored principles waiting to be dis- covered and proven! A revolution of ideas and prin- ciples yet to change the lives of men! Unknown facts that will one day be basically essential to human environment! Science, the key to the future and the basis of the present, is man's systematic knowledge of the universe. With increasing pop- ulation, the world vitally depends upon scientific development. Research is the key to this develop- ment. The field of research is so vast, that oppor- tunity seeks out the willing and earnest. Central is preparing prospective young scien- tists for the future. It offers general science, biology, chemistry, and physics, all of which acquaint the student with laboratory procedures. To keep up with the rapid pace of scientific de- velopment, Central must constantly change itas materials and methods of presentation, both textbooks and equipment. The teachers themselves are responsible for being well-informed in order to present reliable data. V 3, C' Ml - . 1 V..
