WOOD-TURNING ROOM be gained by “first-hand” contact with things the laboratory was established. Every student should be so taught to sec with his own eyes and to feel with his own hands within the narrow boundaries of the school laboratory, that when lie emerges into the greater laboratory of nature he may see more fully and clearly. Therefore we have our laboratories in every school building. Better laboratories today are in the towns of our plains and mountains than Bunsen or Liebig ever worked in. Thanks to the efforts of the past generation, chemistry is taught everywhere in universities and high schools. The chemistry department at West High Sch(x l is the best equipped and the most complete of any in the Twin Cities. The laboratory is a well-lighted, steam-heated, cement-floored and spacious room on the ground floor, and can easily accommodate thirty-two students. Miss Caplin, the teacher in charge of the department, is one of the best teachers of chemistry in the Northwest. In addition to the excellent laboratory is a dark room for the storing of chemicals and also a fine recitation room, used for lectures and demonstrations. It will be worth any one's time and effort to visit the chemistry department of West High. Seventeen
