PHYSICS LABORATORY Engineer’s Club. TUI . Engineer's Club has been established as an adjunct to the physics department of the West High School. Like other organizations of the school, it is still in its infancy through no fault of its own. but from the natural force of circumstances, most of its achievements lie in the future. It is not as yet prepared to point with pride to great accomplishments, but must, of necessity, make a statement of the things that it hopes to do. Probably the aims and purposes of the club can be best expressed by quoting a few paragraphs from its constitution: Article II. The object of this organization shall be: First. To make a careful study of the practical application of the principles of physics. Second. To create a library of scientific literature. Third. To establish a scientific lecture course at West High School. Thus far several lectures have been given before the club—one by Prof. Ozias on the value of a careful study of the principles of physics; one bv Mr. Walter Milner on special systems of ignition for automobiles. and one by Mr. Harold Greenly with a practical demonstration of wireless telegraph.

Chemistry furnishes a person with many facts of useful information, broadens his outlook and brings him in touch with one of the great forces of modern thought and civilization.
