NEWELL Science Department One of the most interesting departments of our school is the one devoted to the teaching of science. In the study of general science, biology, chemistry and physics, is found much educational entertainment and instruction. General science is a combination of the other sciences, giving an elementary study of biology, chemistry and physics. Since a majority of high school students do not enter college, a course in general science is desirable, and practically mandatory. Biology lends itself thoroughly to the scientific methods and the orderly examination of facts and conclusions based on these facts. It endeavors to place the student in the midst of life, and when given a number of fundamental principles, he can then apply them to problems of life. The aim of chemistry is to show the relation of chemistry to everyday lift without neglecting the prinicples upon which the science is based. Thus the relation of chemistry of water purification, agriculture, paints, and textiles is emphasized. Physics deals with sound, light, energy, electricty, and mechanics. It is in the field of physics that some of the important advances of science have been made in late years. For this reason the subject is well-fitted for students who enjoy science.

MORRELL MISS COUSINS Mathematics Department Without stopping to consider, the average high school student may think that he is being troubled with something new when he worries over an especially difficult proposition in geometry or a catchy algebra problem. Perhaps he would be surprised to learn that the subject is nothing new at all but is really over three million years old. Yet that is a true statement, for written records have been found in Egypt showing that the people of that country had a wide knowledge of mathinematics, even as early as the third tnillen-uim B. C. Ever since that time it has been increasing in importance, if such is possible, until to-day there are few people who realize its vast importance in the progress of our civilization. All our mode; n day machinery and conveniences are indirect results of the study of mathematics. It is interesting to note also that while we could not have mathemates, on any large scale, without written English, at the same time we could not have written English without mathematics. For written English is dependent upon chemistry for its life, and chemistry is dependent upon mathematics for its birth. Many students in Sharon High are taking a course in mathematics, and we feel sure that if the thoroughness of the instruction has anything to do with it, we shall some day sooner or later produce a second Pythagoras or an Einstein.

It is no longer looked upon as an isolated department hut is now just as much a part of the school as is the Mathematics or Science Department. A number of the Commercial students have been helpful in making mimeographed copies of tests and in doing other stenographical work for the various members of the faculty. Each year more and more students, realizing the advantage of having a knowledge of Commecial subjects, enroll in the Commercial course. A great number of the Academic students take one or more Commercial subjects, such as typewriting, economics, or salesmanship. The Commercial Department has made a good showing for our school in county and state contests. The 1929 county contest was won by the Sharon team. The examinations for this contest were made out by Grove City College. L. BRANDON State Teachers College. Wisconsin; University of Illinois. Typewriting and Commercial Law.
