The School General HIS year in the interest of economy We are including under School General the Division of Rhetoric, the Health Service, and Physical Education, all of which most logically come under the heading of School General. Within this group are included the Mathematics-Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry, Business Depart- ment-Stenography, Typewriting, Penmanship, Spelling, Bookkeeping, Business Practice, Letter XVriting, Commercial Law, The Music Department-Elements of Music, Vocal Music, Choruses, Instrumental Music, Bands, Orchestra, Piano, and Violin, The Social Sciences-U. S. History, Industrial History, Marketing, History of Civilization, American Government, Rural Sociology, Economics, Social Problems for Boys, Social Training and Parliamentary Law, Physical Education-Gymnasium, Physical Training, Community Service, Administrationg Rhetoric-Business English, Debating, Public Speaking, and Literature, Preventive Medicine and Public Health. The School General also includes supervision and instruction in summer project work as offered by each of the divisions in the Department of Agriculture. This is the six months of school work carried on at home on the farm. The School of Agriculture is a twelve months' school-six months at University Farm and six months on the home farm. About the middle of the Winter term the students register for Work along the lines that they have been studying, which they carry on under supervision of the school. For this work credit is given toward graduation. Page Thirty-iwo

The Division of Agricultural Biochemistry N the Division of Agricultural Biochemistry an attempt is made to study and to teach the chemical reactions which are characteristic of living processes. A11 living organisms are composed of chemical compounds and the reactions and interactions of these compounds make up the phenomenon which we call ulifef' Health means that these reactions are all proceeding in an orderly fashion, whereas in disease some of these reactions are interfered with and the balance of the organism is disturbed. Man's primary interest probably always has been, and probably always will be, MAN. His secondary interest is his environment, and since both man and his environ- ment are wholly composed of chemical compounds which react with each other by definite chemical and physical laws, a study of chemistry in its relation to life processes leads to a better understanding of the principles underlying modern agriculture' and the science of home making. A new survey course entitled Chemistry in Agriculture has recently been organized for students of the School of Agriculture. This course is designed not so much to teach the laws and detailed information of the science, but rather to indicate the enormous role which chemistry plays in our every day life, and to introduce the student to this Held of science so that he can read intelligently and thus continue his educational processes after he has left the University.
