The study of general biology is supplemented by '1 semes- ter of Zoology and one of botany. In addition to these subjects an excellent and most inter- esting course in geology is offered. The country surrounding Kingsport offers A ij 5, fl! l H so much additional practical information to the student that field trips are added to the eourses to make the subject more interesting The industrial aspects of our city also make the study of physles and chemistry much more profitable In the course of socul ehemistry emphasis is placed upon the practical applica- tion of science in industry' while those who study for college entrance requirements take regular chemistry and get '1 more thorough study of theory. All the courses have labora- tory work which creates active interest and gives the students 1 chance to show their me- chanical abilities. MR. ELLIOTT, gmloyvy rbcnz- ixlry, Jlzysifs. MR.

To provide for students who will assume civic responsibilities Without college training, as well as for those who secure professional training, the math courses have been divided into two sections. The first consists of Commercial Math-including commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping, and algebra. The other course, for college preparation, consists of algebra, geometry, both solid and plane, trigonometry, and a course of college algebra for students who plan to enter college the next year. This course offers a complete review of the first two years of algebra, as well as the inclusion of advanced work approaching college level. Any student may elect the two years of algebra offered. Besides these elective courses of mathematics, a full-year course of general math is given for freshmen who need orientation before choos- ing either branch of the specialized courses. This year the Math department has been even more popular than before, especially with boys who plan to go into engineering or air corps training. The five instructors of this department have done excellent work, they have increased the interest of the practical-minded student by soliciting actual business problems for class work. Their constant aim is to teach students the art of thinking carefully, an ideal to be sought in any walk of life or industry.
