Department of $f)psical draining anb i)pgient THIS department aims to promote the health and vigor of pupils and to aid them in securing and maintaining a high standard of physical efficiency. The means of accomplishing this are, first, a progressive course of physical training, including hygienic, educational and recreative gymnastics. Second, a series of talks on hygiene, sanitation, relation of good health to a successful career, effects of alcohol and narcotics, etc. All pupils are given a thorough physical examination before they are permitted to enter the gymnasium classes. If any irregularities are found special attention is given. Aside from the regular work, every pupil is encouraged to participate in some form of competitive activity. Separtment of itlatfjematics THE work of the Department of Mathematics is designed to meet the clearly defined vocational aim of the school. Emphasis is therefore placed upon the practical side of the subject, and yet, by the judicious elimination of topics and correlation of subjects, we aim to retain that which is really essential and most valuable in developing the pupil’s reasoning powers. By insisting upon absolute accuracy in all calculations, we strive to develop the habit of concentration of effort, sustained attention and industry. A constant effort is made to relate the work to the various business activities of the city. 15

made clear. The balance sheet is analyzed and the student is required to tell why the difference between the two sides of an account is a loss, gain, resource, or liability. The training here given must be so thorough that our pupils may be of immediate use in a business office. OMPETITION in business at the present time is largely one of quality. skill and beauty. A knowledge of construction, of design and color, a study of the materials and processes of production are necessary in successful selecting and buying. The future business man is given skill in the correct display and convincing advertisement, and intelligent sale of his stock. The clerk is directed in his arrangement of window and show-case. The stenographer is shown how to space his letters and business papers, and is directed in the printing of placards, notices and labels. The aim of the courses is not so much to give proficiency in the arts and crafts as to give discrimination and judgment. IT is the purpose of this department to train girls and boys for responsible positions as stenographers. With the study of the principles of shorthand comes a broadening of the student’s knowledge of English—correct enunciation, the meaning and use of words, and a larger vocabulary. As the work progresses, facility and accuracy are developed in both shorthand and touch typewriting. In typewriting special attention is given to correct arrangement of letters and miscellaneous forms. At the end of the course the student is able to write in shorthand his own thoughts or the dictation of others, and to transcribe the same on the typewriter neatly and accurately. IN the work in chemistry an effort is made to acquaint the pupil with the properties, and the uses resulting from such properties, of the many commodities about which the bulk of trade is centered. In the laboratory the pupil is taught to classify the different grades of the raw and finished materials and a drill is given in practical and easy tests for the purity or for adulterants commonly found in these materials. Frequent excursions arc made by the class to many of the local manufacturing establishments where the principles studied in the class room are seen in actual operation. applieb arts—Jflanual arts fefjortfjanb Department Cfjemistrp 14
