mathematica, . . Second year algebra and trigonometry, especially, are the fundamental prepara- tion for the study of engineering. There are many types of engineers. The two pictures above illustrate the work of architectural engineers and surveyors. In the picture to the upper left are: Mrs. Walter, Mrs. Hoben- sack, Miss Murckworth, and Mr. Yung, who teach this higher and more technical math. To the right are: Mr. Frye, Mrs. Edge- worth, and Mrs. Ehler, who give the younger pupiis their basic training. Within their classrooms the students are guided through the mysteries of mathematics and encouraged to study further. However, if they must conclude their course at this point, they will have a strong enough groundwork to be of use to them in later life. Mr. Schick was absent when the picture was taken.

'Ln Acience, . . . The natural sciences taught in high school care: chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, biology, astronomy, geology, physiology, and meteorology. One of their main pur- poses is to contribute to the formation of proper health habits, to the intelligent selec- tion of goods and services, and to the worthy use of leisure time. Another impor- tant lesson they teach is what is called the scientific method, namely, arriving at con- clusions on the basis of facts. The study of ti ., - 2 h; I-'$ science tends to eliminate snap iudgments and prejudice. If the wortd would try 0 scientific solution of its problems, there would be less strife between individuals and nations. On the left below: Mr. Thomas, biology; Mr. Dunkel, chemistry; Mr. Sting, physiology; and Mr. French, science and health, study an experiment. On the right: Mr. Kopp, physics; Mr. Johnson, physiology; Mr. Oates, general science; and Miss Dour- son, botany, find the specimen interesting.

This indion chief's headdress, which Mr. Fouch is showing to his colleagues of the social studies dept., Mr. Hess and Miss Kresne, represents a civilization that is c: for cry from the one symbolized by the Bikini scene below it. Even the helmet Mr. Hess is holding is outmoded compared with the advances being made in atomic wor- fore today. Through classes in sociology and economics, American problems, and American history, the students learn, not only the worId-worn ways of war, but the standards of peace, and how to get along with one another. AociaQ Atudiiela, . The Master Plan for Cincinnati, which Miss Siutz is pointing out, is another of the current subjects discussed in social studies classrooms. This picture, purchased with the money from students' tax stomps, is a sym- bol of the opportunities for building a better city, open to those who take advantage of their education, and make these plans a reality. From their text-books students be- come acquainted with the early history of our country and of the world; by the com- mentators, in the accompanying pictures, and others like them, we are kept posted on world events today.
