The study of chemical principles, laws and calculations has been considerably enhanced by new instruments and labs in preparing prospective dentists, botanists and doctors for advanced learning. The department, under chairman Julius Glater, is instituting an open house for high school students and a program of meetings with high school teachers to ex- tend the effectiveness of its scope in ori- enting its future pupils. Students are offered lecture and labora- tory study in general chemistry, which deals with chemical procedures, quantita- tive analysis, which concerns principles of gravametric and volumetric analysis, and organic chemistry, which deals with or- ganic material.

Valley's Earth Science Department covers the field of learning in geology, astronomy and geography. The department has recently undergone considerable re-organization and increased facilities in the new buildings allow for more relaxed learning. In preparing students for work in geological fields, geology courses deal with the earth and its origin, the various surface features, rock and mineral types, mineral resources, oceans and phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanos. The advanced geology course deals with the mapping techniques used in geologic, geo- graphic and archeological field work with em- phasis on the use of the plane table. A study of the basic cultural elements of geography and their correlation with the phys- ical elements is the aim of Valley's geographic courses which prepare students for higher learning in these fields. Field trips are organized many times during the semester for students of the earth science department. Regular visits to the Cal Tech Service lab, the old gold mining town of Rands- burg, the Crestview cement plant, oil fields and the Moiave Desert highlight the semester of the earth s.cience student as well as increase the understanding of studies. .tl ' l.
