A year's history of their own country, taught by Miss Fansler, is a senior requisite. The science department offers five separate courses, general science and biology for lower classmen; physics, chemistry, and senior science for upper classmen. General science, taught by Miss Church, is required of all freshmen. Miss Luckhaupt is the instructor for biology, a course which is a combination of zoology, physiology, and botany. Physics is taught by Mr. Ariens. Its purpose is to lay a foundation for future engineering students, to supply scientific knowledge for all, and to de- velop the habit of basing all opinions upon valid evidence. The aim of the chemistry course, taught by Mr. Little, is to help open a rich field to the inquiring mind and to lead the student to a better understanding of the world around him. Senior science, also under the direction of Mr. Little, is planned for students who wish something less academic and less formal than chemistry or physics. Students who expect to enter the commercial field after graduation will find the commercial course well fitted to their needs. In the freshman year, business training is offered, taught by Miss Steidl and Mr. Cottingham. In the second year the student may choose commercial geography and commercial arithmetic. C. J.

19 By Teaching Us English, Latin, French, History, Science the book selections, reference shelves, and catalogue and reserve shelves. Both French and Latin are offered to Paris High students. A two-year course in French is taught by Miss Farrell, and a four-year course in Latin by Miss Tate. The fundamentals of the French language are taught during the first year. The second year is given over to the reading of classics and a French newspaper. The Latin course includes the study of the basic principles of grammar in the first year. To further the interest in Latin, the upper classes give some time to the reading of Latin newspapers. This year our Latin classes joined the Junior Classical Society of Illinois. The events of history are taught today to enable us to understand our national relationship both in peace and war with other peoples, and to help us feel our responsibilities in the march of the race. Toward this aim, pupils are permitted to spend two years studying ancient and modern CATHERINE FARRELL. A.B., M.A., French ELSIA TATE. A.B., Latin DON H. SWEELEY, B.S., World History.
