DESCRIPTION OF COURSE. iDepartment of Mathematics. The work of this department has at least five very important aims in view: 1. To give an understanding of the processes and forms of expression in the several subjects. V 2. To secure exactness and speed in the operations. 3. To train the pupil's perception of features of prime importance, his ability to exercise individual judgment and reason- ing, and his power to select logical steps in a demonstration. 4. To show the value of each subject in its relation to prac- tical or business life. 5. To make the pupil a self-reliant factor in life. To accomplish these purposes, three divisions of mathemat- ical science are used: Book-keeping, Algebra and Geometry. Algebra. The adopted text is Algebra for Secondary Schools by Wells. The work required, in Algebra is through quadratic 'equa- tions. Thus far, the students have spent two years C4 semestersj in this work, and received credit for A, B, C and D algebra. The classes are urged to complete the work in three semesters and those able to do so receive credit for all work done. It is the plan of the school to limit thework through quad! ratics to three semesters as soon as the proper advancement in the standard is made. Geometry. Second year, entire year. Text: Sanders Plane Geometry. The pupil is expected to have completed the work in mathematics offered during the first year before entering this class. 13

During the first semester the first two books of the text are completed, and the text is finished during the second half of the year. In geometry, the process of reasoning is emphasized. The demonstration is made not so much for the HQ. E. D. as for exercise of imagination, individual thinking, for discipline in ana-lysis, and formal statements of steps by which the conclusions are reached. If time permits and there is a demand a class in solid geom- etry will be organized. This will be elective, but the work in plane geometry is required of all students for graduation. Physical Science. Fourth year. Text: Hoadley's Elements of Physics. In order to enter this class the pupil must have completed the work offered in mathematics during the first three years or be eligible to the senior class as to the required number of credits. This class meets every school day for two periods per day. The fundamental principles of Physics are demonstrated both by class and by individual experiments. Students construct a number of pieces of apparatus with which they perform experiments. Much emphasis is put on mathematical demonstrations and problems. The class covers the entire subject so as to do the Work required for entrance at the State University. V The laboratory will be well equipped with apparatus for next year. g Civics. First semester of third year. Text: Advanced Civics, by Forman. The work. is offered early in the course so as to give those who do not complete the course a general knowledge of the organization 14
