 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
