The ideal oT our library, as mainTained by Mrs. Gill, is To give eTTicienT, courTeous, and useTul service To ali who enTer iTs doors, and encourage a love oT books in all oT iTs paTrons. In all oT These services, iT viTally inTluences and supplemenTs The work oT every sTudenT and Teacher. ln keeping wiTh The modern philosophy oT educaTion, ThaT oT TiTTing sTudenTs To Their environmenr and oreparf ing Them Tor living as useTul ciTizens in aTTer-school liTe, WesT Bend T-ligh School oTTers courses in biology, generai science, and chemisTry. These courses are oTTered wiTh The purpose oT Teaching beginning sTudenTs The scienTiTic aT- TiTude and rneThod and giving an enriched background in physical and naTural science ThaT may serve Them in good sTead in adulT liTe. In This modern world oT complex machines and scien- TiTic discovery one cannoT live wiThouT conTacTing The re- sulT oT someones labors in The Tield oT science. IT is To undersTand These and aid in promoTion oT new under- sTandings ThaT we oTTer our varied uniTs oT sTudy. The sTudy oT chemisTry, wiTh iTs pracTical experimenTs, helps The sTudenT keep his eyes open. T-Te learns ThaT noT all The producTs oT chemisTry are desirable, and will dif- TerenTiaTe beTween The good and The bad. T-lere his re- search will show him ThaT Toods may be adulTeraTed or imiTaTed7 ThaT some paTenT medicines are rank Trauds: ThaT ToileT preparaTions are oTTen given exaggeraTed values: and ThaT many chemicals are harmTul To The body. Know- ing These Things, he Torms The habiT oT accuraTe buying and oT appreciaTing The many Things wiTh which he comes in conTacT each day. The sTudy oT chemisTry enables The sTudenT To Think sTraighT,i' Tor noT all Things are whaT They seem aT TirsT glance, and we can only Torm accuraTe opinions by deTinf iTe conclusions obTained Through experimenTaTion. In The laboraTory he learns ThaT NaTure is governed by laws and ThaT we can only conTrol her changes Through Those laws. The longer Technical processes enTailed in research are made clearer by visual insTrucTion, Through The use oT Two movie proiecTors, silenT and sound machines, The sTudenT can visiT The greaT indusTries and laboraTories, can view biology as real liTe, T-lis reading is made undersTandA able by also seeing operaTions and experimenTs.
