 ©IMS department embraces chemistry, physics, biology, geology, geography, domestic science, and agriculture. The chemistry department, occupying two large rooms in the upper story, is well equipped with the necessary apparatus and chemicals, and offers a strong two-year course in chemistry. The work is in charge of Professor Clcmans. who also teaches a class in agriculture and incidentally practices as well as teaches, for who has not heard of the chicken hatchery in the rear of his home. Next door to the chemistry rooms is the biology room, the work in which i' in charge of Professor Fling. It is not at all unusual to hear the deep basso” rivaling that of his pet frogs echoing down the corridors as the learned professor expounds the wonders of nature to the boys and girls. Surely the students delight to travel to the upper story to listen to his Boston dialect as well as to travel with him to foreign soils in search of oratorical honors. Mr. Ferguson, the electrical practitioner, who has been with us but a few years, holds forth on the lower floor. Although a good manipulator of electricity, wc are surprised to hear that he has been troubled with the rheumatiz.” The physics laboratory is well equipped with first-class apparatus, and excellent work is being done in this department. In geography ami geology, students are given much good fundamental instruction by Mr. Mitchell and Miss Scwall. Professor Mitchell specializes in geology, with mayoralty aspirations and jokology as a side line. Miss Scwali is also a teacher of geography, occupying a room on the upper Story adjacent to that of Mr. Mitchell. Next year she will undoubtedly occupy several rooms and will have changed her profession front the science of geography to domestic science. Fortunately for Miss Daisy I lamer, she dots not have to make this change. Already she is in full possession of knowledge which will make her a model housekeeper. The domestic science course gives much which is of practical value, and the department is well fitted with all needed apparatus. Although the science department loses two of its best instructors, several more w ill Ik added next year to keep pace with the growth of the school and the demand for more science made hv the college course. 17
