Businessmen, manu- facturers, industrialists, and innumerable arti- sans constantly bustle about using scientific knowledge. Even the little lady finds uses for scientific and mathematical information. Sophomores discover in biology classes a new world of living things, including themselves, and learn to classify minute and innumerable plants and animals. They study the functions of differ- ent organisms and their influence on the human race. In chemistry and physics, the operation of gadgets in the home, such as the refrigerator, washing machine, heating system, electrical cir- cuit, and many others are explored and under- stood. Mysteries of everyday modern living are dispelled as the modern teen-ager penetrates into scientific lore which was hidden to the scientist of 100 years ago. High school math courses improve not only arithmetic proficiency, but also our students’ ac- curacy and reasoning power. They provide pu- pils with the early fundamentals that w 11 later be needed in college and everyday living. They aid students in avoiding the same mistake twice.
