SCIENCE 1 The physics class is composed of twenty-one seniors and one post graduate. The class has worked many practical experiments and has designed and assembled a mercury barometer and a series-parallel circuit lamp bank. The barometer is an instrument which indicates the atmosphere pressure and is vitally important in forecasting stormy periods. It will forecast with a high de- gree of accuracy from eight to twenty-four hours in advance. The parallel section of the lamp bank is wired the same way as a home is wired for electricity and the consumption of electricity in the home can be studied from that apparatus. The series section of the bank is a sample of Christmas tree and street lighting sys- tems. Since electricity is so extensively used in the American homes and since it has a great practical value, about one-third of the term is taken up for the study of this branch of physics. Among the other parts of physics which have a great practical value are meas- urements, refrigeration, density, acceleration, mechanics, heat, pressure, sound, color, lenses, and magnetism. ffi Fixx ffj? :xw F'N3 ' P' fn J.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts department, with an enrollment of sixty boys, is housed in a well-equipped shop. The objectives of the department are to train boys in the dignity of hand la- bor and acquaint them with the proper use of various bench tools. The boys learn the proper use and care of tools during the first semester. Then they use power machines under as nearly factory conditions as possible so they will appreciate the problem of the industrial field. Before beginning their projects the students are taught to make an analysis of the job. Investigation has proved that good illustrations are very effective in the learning process so Mechanical Drawing is stressed through the course. Industrial Arts was the first subject to relate its work with other subjects. Some of the viewpoints in Industrial Education have changed but the fundamentals have remained the same.
