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.

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.

CCCIAL CCIEINICE To pioneer boys and girls history was a distasteful study of the dates of important events. Little was gained from such a course except a jumbled mass of dates. In VLIAV Q But no longer is history such a sub- ject. Discussions of political and eco- nomic situations, panel discussions, and current event topics point out the sides to controversial issues as well as add to the general knowledge of the individual. Practical application is made of knowledge obtained from textbooks. Supplementing actual classroom work, various trips are made to places of interest such as to superior court, the immi- gration station, and the state legislature. Today in history classes the student actively takes part in the history discussions for he realizes just how important this knowledge will be to him as the citizen of tomorrow. information about the con- stitution, and the way national, state, and local governments function will develop wiser voters and higher qualihed leaders out of the high school students of today.
