'six' AT EASE! orders Colonel Marley. Experiments Aid in Scientific Understanding The junior high science classes concentrated on learning basic facts, principles, methods, skills and techniques of scientific investigation. Worm dissecting, microscope viewing, and lab manual laboring biology classes studied the science that deals with the origin, history, characteristics, and habits of plants and animals. The department offered a semester of botany and a semester of Zoology instead of an entire year of zoology. The groups took field trips and had a variety of labs. The chemistry and physics classes gave the students science background for college work or technical training. These subjects gave a basis for further educa- tion and provided an understanding of the modern scientific world in which we live. NIR. ROBERT HARLEY: fs 't,i 5 1' Purdue liniversity, B.S..
