DEPARTMENT The scholastic department is divided into two separate and distinct units: the high school, which offers four years ' a of preparatory work, and the junior • college, which offers two years of lib- eral arts and science. Each has its own organization separate from the other. Both divisions are fully accredited by the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an organiza- tion composed of the leading colleges and prepara- tory schools in twenty states. This recognition means that graduates of either department are eligible to enter any institution in the United States that receives stuoents by certification. It is our aim to see that each cadot masters every lesson thoroughly. To accomplish this, every student is taught correct study methods and thoroughly schooled in correct uses of libraries and laboratories. Classes are small, averaging from 8 to 15 students, which permits individual attention. Most of the faculty members live in the buildings with students. They are readily accessible for special help. From time to time a personal study is made of each cadet to determine his points of weakness and help him overcome them. 9fOngy 11 Klvnca Of p-oriit u » r inrwrwjT » Duyi ot inv iwawvn The Uboretory for «l«ment« ' y cl«i in chomiirry provide! meny costly instru- ment!
