The Sketch 27 Departments Mathematics RITHMETIC is A Mosr VITAL SUBJECT. It enters into our daily lives in all forms of measurement, the making of change, the telling of time, the keeping of scores, and the planning of practically all effort, whether it be in vocation or professions. No boy or girl can afford to stop short of as thorough a mastery of this subject as his native mentality will permit. While for the average person Algebra may not seem to be use- ful, yet it is surprising how many things one can do with numbers by using the various principles of Algebra. Some of the hardest prob- lems can be answered in Algebraic form through the equation before the Arithmetic answers are known. It is a very fascinating subject and its fundamental laws are valuable not only in discovering values and relationships existing in the field of science, but also like Arithmetic it aids in promoting those finer and desirable habits and qualities of mind and character admired in any individual. Science HE PRIMARY OBJ ECT of General Science is to aid the pupil in in- terpreting his environments and to train him in the habit of thinking from cause to effect and from effect to cause. Innumerable applications of Science in home and civic life are studied. Several pupils are carrying out projects of their own volition. William Ec- khart is experimenting with growing plants by artificial light, Jack De Wolf has kept a record and made a graph of barometer readings. Yates Smith is recording the development of tadpoles. Several pupils are making collections of fossils and carrying out home experiments. Biology is the study of both plant and animal life. This subject touches some phase of interest in every child's life, and is a subject that comes into use every day in a practical way. Aims of course: To acquaint the student with such facts as will help him to live a healthy life: to bring about a healthy community. C25 will give him the right attitude toward many civic problems as: sanitation, etc. C31 will show him the fundamental relationships between plants and animals. Q4-J will give a correct attitude toward germ theory of disease, vac- cination andg heredity. Many interesting projects are being carried out by the students of this course.
