SOCIAL SCIENCE History and geography as they were never taught before! Where is Cas- sino? What does H. B. Kaltenborn think of Poland’s situation? How soon will Tojo be sunk?

World history, Ameri- can history, and United States civics are studied by all students, and a major in this department may be obtained by adding sociology or economics. L. H.

COMMERCIAL Experience plays an important part in the commercial department. Stu- dents gain this practical side of their training by taking dictation and tap- ping the typewriter for teachers.

But, whether students are headed for service in the armed forces or for jobs in industry, whether they continue their education or not, they get much of prac- tical value from their scientific studies. Girls who become dieticians or nurses and boys who study medicine or who get into chemical warfare, as well as girls who simply cook and keep house and boys who work in the factories, need a knowledge of chemistry in these days. Physics, too, assumes special import- ance in wartime. Aviation, to mention but one branch of the service, demands many trained physicists. General science and biology, also, have their uses. In war or peace, the educated person must have some notions of the nat- ural laws of the world in which he lives.
