Although the general teaching of scientific facts, and the im- parting of a basic knowledge of science to its students, are the aims of the science department. their main concern is teaching students to think clearly, ac- curately. and completely. The music department gives instruction in performance and study of music composition. In addition to a musical comedy which is presented annually, in- strumental and vocal ensembles are frequently heard on school programs and furnish entertain- ment for downetown organizaf tions. Through foreign language courses the student has the op- portunity of learning to speak and read and write in several different languages. Knowledge of modern languages increases interest in present-day World affairs. CQ-ZLZAJZOOMJ Cfrealing queer themzcul L'OI'l7fJULlV7Ll'-S. The ronmnte ol plums. I-'renrh puppetevrx in u u'1'r1mu.

In addition to the required four semesters, advanced courses in mathematics are offered for those who are especially in- terested in this subject. General mathematics has recently been added to this group as a certif- icate course. Students in the history depart- ment study the social, political, and economic histories of many nations. They receive an early training in citizenship and or- ganization of government to prepare them for their later life.

Students wishing to become stenographers or office workers are able in high school to build a fine foundation for further business training, where they may learn to use newly invented machines and modern business methods. For the express purpose of making fit the youth of Garfield for the serious business of earn- ing a living, the industrial arts department was created. Now it plays a leading role in teaching students to use their hands pro- ductively. The fundamentals of home- making are included in the home economics courses. Both boys and girls are instructed in plan- ning and cooking meals. Girls who are more interested in sew- ing learn to make clothes for themselves and costumes for school productions.
