Science The study of science may he the study of the earth on which we live and its relation to the other planets, the study of the electric dynamo, the ability of nature to combine the raw elements in the con- struction of a beautiful Hower, or the chemistrv involved in changing a poisonous gas 10 3 sweet smelling perfume or a healing medicine, Science is always endeavoring to find an gn. swer to the many problems to which nature alone holds the solution. In this endeavor the chemistry classes are particularly interested in the visual aids, and many educational films, slides. and drawings have been used in pre- senting various projects.

The department of linglish is organized on the democratic plan of each for all and all for the school. Meetings are held about twice a month for the purpose of discussing problems, objectives, and standards. While all have similar ohiectives, there is freedom in the manner of ohtaining these. Work in class and individual proiects is encouraged, but proiects are different with differ- ent teachers and with Xaried groups of students. This year special emphasis has heen laid upon the obtaining of better oral reading. To encourage iniproieinent in this work a Iunior Poetry Reading Contest was held in April in addition to the Ninth and Tenth Grade Read- ing Contests held in February.
