Freshmen beginning the study of science with the course in general science, sophomores studying botany or Zoology, and juniors and seniors studying chemistry, physics, or geology, learn the use of these instruments and stress the practical side of the work as well as the formulas and laws of theory. The teachers must keep the PAGEANT moving ac- cording to schedule in this department by showing the would-be Newtons and Pasteurs how to look through a microscope without closing the other eye, by taking the students on field trips, and, in general, teaching them something of the world and the things in it. Field trips are conducted into the near-by forest preserves, through great industrial plants, and to .scientific exhibitions. Last summer C. W. Bills worked on mosquito abatement and was highly praised for his intensive research into the lives and habits of mosquitoes. Harvey F. Iohnson and O. A. Bolt made tours of the West, visiting many cities and national parks. H. P. McConnell received his M. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and L. W. Remley studied at the University of Iowa, where he plans to take his doctor of philosophy degree next summer. V. G. Catlin, head of the department, studied at Northwestern during the vacation. Mr. Catlin is sometimes hard pressed to keep up with the demand for his Dermo- line, a liquid to cure skin diseases caused by fungus growths which he gives to all sufferers from such diseases. In the space occupied at present by the east gym, classrooms are to be built. One of these rooms will be a biology room and storeroom for the science department. The room is to have eight In W, 1-HND5 B. S., Kansas State Teachers' College tables and will accommodate thirty-two pupils. A- B., Egflhgm College A. M., Columbia University Alden Greene, V. C.

ART Contributing greatly to the eliectiveness oi the musical numbers of the PAGEANT is the Work ot the stagecratt class in making scenery. ln cooperation with the band, these able artists have created gods oi Norse mythology and emblems oi lmperial Rus sia to add the beauty oi color to the beauty ot sound at various concerts. This year the class in commercial art helped many movements oi the PAGEANT. The members ot this class designed signs tor the billboard at the corner oi First avenue and Washington boulevard publicizing Proviso activitiesp among other projects, they illustrated the club bulletin board and con structed signs and paintings tor many departments, especially in the Proviso on Parade pageant at the dedication of the tieldhouse. The keynote ot the art department, like that ot the music depart ment, is service to the school. Miss Wilhelmina Marm, chairman oi the art def partment, traveled to Mexico last summer. Miss Beatrice Bonine studied at Columbia university. MUSIC ' The music organizations ot Proviso contribute color, rhythm, and beauty to the PAGEANT through- out the year, specializing in service to the student body and to the community. Any student in Proviso may enroll in some music class, depending on his musical ability, his preparation, and his purpose. Music has long been recognized as a strong socialf izing agency. The aims of the music department are to give the students an opportunity to participate in vocal and instrumental music, to hear and develop appreciaf tion ot the best in music, to provide an opportunity for emotional expression and development, to train students technically in the art ot producing music, and to provide entertainment and inspiration through programs and concerts in assemblies and in the community. The realization oi these aims is brought about through the Work ot such organizations as the choir and choral groups, directed by R. Lee Gsburn, chairman oi the music department: the band, di- rected by I. lrving Tallmadgep the orchestra, directed by Wallace Nelson, and the classes in general music. MUSIC R.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS The bench, printing, and auto mechanics shops of the industrial arts department are now adequately equipped to meet the needs of Proviso. Further growth in this department will be in the addition of other types of work rather than in the building up of the present shops. Electrical and metal-working shops are already being talked of. A blue-print machine obtained at the end of last year has been of great value to the school. Some of the drawing classes made maps of the shrubbery and landscaping of the grounds, and supplied blue- prints to the maintenance department. Blue-prints of the fieldhouse were prepared on the machine, and other work for the main office. To cut down automobile accidents and deaths due to them, the nation must increase the number of carefully trained drivers to take the place of drivers who learn by the trial-and-error method. Proviso offers a course in driver training, to develop good driving habits in the pupil. This course is carried on in a dual control car, with extra clutch and brake pedals located so that the instructor is always able to stop the car. After learning the general make-up of a car, the rules-of- road courtesy, and the proper signals, the class divides into groups of four for actual driving experi- ence. Twice a week each student drives for fifteen minutes and observes the other beginners for the remainder of an hour. At the end of the semester he has had eight hours of actual practice and twenty-four hours of observation, and is well on the way to becoming a good driver. lohn Compagno joined the faculty of Proviso this year to teach driver training.
