The Department of Physical Science emphasizes the application of the facts contained in these sub- jects to the industrial activities of the twentieth century. Therefore, it offers, in addition to its regu- lar work, courses which are essential to other departments of the school; as, food and textile chemistry, physiological and agricultural chemistry, household and agricultural physics. The prepar- ation of teachers qualified to adjust their work to the life needs of their pupils, demands that they have a practical knowledge of the physical sciences.
