SCIENCE In days gone hy, when Iittle Sarah was ill from eating too many green apples, or Johnny got the fever, or even when Dad sprained his back pulling stumps, Mother was right on hand to administer a home-remedy all the way from sulphur and molasses to a mustard plaster. It was a simple beginning like this that led to the scientific age of toclay. Health in our age is equally important. The modern boy and girl develop their body in physical edu- cation classes and also learn the practical use of keeping fit in Health Education. From the study of chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, and photography, a student obtains an appreciation of life.

COMMERCIAL Massive buildings and factories with machines doing the work of thousands of people, men and women intent on service and profit-these became a part of the New West. Great cities and trans- portation centers arose where once there were giant trees and rocky cliffs and spreading valleys. ln the days of the pioneers the people were as in- dependent as we are dependent, taking it upon themselves to supply their own needs. Commu- nities of the Old West might have consisted of a small fort with a blacksmith shop, a few cabins, and a supply and provision house run by traders. They took care of the simple needs of the wagon trains that came their way. Trading posts and village stores became the business centers of the western world. As the population grew, as the slow migra- tion westward was taken over by the railroads and other more rapid means of travel-there came a need for bookkeepers, salesmen, stenographers, typists and businesss executives. Training for the business world is an important part of the present high school curriculum. There are classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, sales- manship, consumer education, commercial law, English, geography and commercial arithmetic. Whether the high school student goes directly into the business world, whether he continues his training in college or university, or whether he goes into other work requiring business training to a certain degree, what he has learned in commercial subjects in high school can be used to advantage in a World where the demand for efficiency both in business and private life is great.

MATHEMATICS NDUSTRIAL ARTS Doctors, engineers, building constructors, teachers, yes, and undoubtedly many other professional people have established their foundations through the study of mathematics. Some pioneer boys and girls were familiar with fractions, decimals, algebra, and geometry, too, but as far as they were concerned there was little of practical value in high mathematics for them. A high school boy of today may become comparatively skilled in auto repair, wood working, boat drawing, lettering, gas and electric engine, blue print reading, or mechanical drawing. The pioneer boy was taught that agriculture must be his primary interest. I-Iowever, there were a few far-sighted youths who gained knowledge of skilled handicraft by watching the blacksmith, the coppersmith, and various other workers within his vicinity.
