Department of Physical Sciences The Department of Chemistry and Physics is rapidly assuming a place of prime importance in the curriculum of this school. Three years ago there was no de¬ partment of Physical Sciences. Next year it is expected that it will widen its scope to include practically all the major branches. Laboratory courses will be of¬ fered in one year each of Klementeary Chemistry and Physics; Advanced Inor¬ ganic Chemistry; Qualitative Analysis; Organic Quantitative Anulysis; Household Chemistry; Advanced Physics and Electri¬ city. Lecture courses will be offered in History of Chemistry, Popular Physics and Industrial Chemistry. Another teacher will be added and more up-to-date laboratories and apparatus will be installed for both sciences. It is the aim to make this program extensive enough to provide working facilities for all students who want to major in these subjects with the aim of utilizing them as a teaching field. Students expecting to take degrees at universities may take some of their required scientific work here. T. W. BIBB. Page 14

Department of Home Economics Believing (hat Home Economic studies contribute di- rectely to the social and professional efficiency of every girl, the Home Economics Department has been located in the dormitory where it is easily available, for all students, at any time. We arc fortunate In huving such a well- equipped department, and besides being of general service to the entire school we are giving a three-year course for students who wish to major in Hume Economics which we hope to moke especially strong. Around the four-room apartment in the Training Echool we have built a course in home making for the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The children planned th - interior decorating and re-flnlshed and repaired most of the furniture used in the apartment. When the apartment is completely furnished wt will use It for teaching these children the activities carried on in the home, using it for moat of our Home Economics classes in the grades. The school lunch room has also given us a splendid opportunity for a practice field. The hot lunches are planned, prepared and Berved by the students. The problem ia presented in such a way they will be able to solve the hot lunch problem of all children under different types of school systems. At the close of each quarter an exhibit of the work in clothing has proved most Interesting to the community as well as to the students. Dresses, hats, llowers. and other accessories have been displayed. The coal of these garments and the comparison with the coat of ready-made garments have been a practical part of the study In clothing. These classes have proved particularly popular and we have enrolled a number of housewives In them, especially in the milinery class. Our cookery classes having been introduced to the fundamental principles of cookery applied these in a practical way in the preparation of meals, figuring the cost and lta relation to the faintly income. In this field we were also able to be oi service to the housewives of the community by offering a short course in meal planning and serving. Courses in Interior Decorating and Home Aoccsaortes have also proved popular, with a very good field for practice and study in Kamola Hall—we have been able to make this course especially valuable.
