The Classroom SCIENCE Chemistry: The main purpose of this department is to introduce the science of Chemistry in many phases. This year special experiments have been carried out. The members of the two classes worked in small groups, choosing an experiment in some field of chemistry. Qual- itative Analysis, another field of Inorganic Chemistry, was carried out by both classes. Biology teaches one to observe accurately and develops the ability to think and reason correctly. It is the science of organic things. Physics is most useful in many practical applications. In the high school physics course an attempt is made to give each student an under- standing and appreciation of the physical world through the study of heat, light, mechanics, and electricity.
