ZOOLOGY We began the interesting study of Zoology in September with fifteen in the class and Mr. Easton as instructor. We had only six weeks of school when our laboratory was destroyed with the school house. This lessened the interest in the study, as laboratory work brought us in touch with actual things. Pupils dropped out at different times leaving about ten in the class. The class continued the study until February. Zoology is an instructive study as it gives us a knowledge of the more detailed facts of life and living from the lowest of one called Protozoa to the highly complex Metozoa. Zoology is an inspiring study. It fills us with a desire to better understand the problem of animal life, and with a love for everything alive. Anyone who has faithfully pursued the study of this great science cannot help but be more in harmony with the world as well as possess an added store of practical knowledge and more aesthetic ideas. .9 .Q PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY We started to take Physical Geography soon after Christmas. There were ten in our class when it started, but now there are only four and some- times five. Physical Geography treats of the earth, the air around it, and the things upon it. It treats at one time of the tiny rivulet by the wayside, at another of the gigantic forces which raise up mountains or depress the land beneath the sea. People don't realize the importance of earthly forces. Take rivers for example. Starting as small brooks, they grow larger and larger, cutting away banks and surrounding country. Great hills are worn down and the land be- comes a level peneplain for men to plant and till their crops. Or for another example take volcanoes. The eruption of a volcano is due to ejection of the melted rock from beneath the surface of the earth. It bursts out in the form of lava, which fills up the valleys and sometimes makes level ground of a hilly country, as is the case in Eastern Washington where now there are large fields of growing crops while years ago it was very mountain- ous. Volcanoes change the course of a river here or make a lake there. Another example of earthly forces are earthquakes, which are often very destructive. During one night an earthquake may shake down a city and bury all the people in the ruins, while the topography of the earth may be changed greatly. There are changes being made upon the earth all of the time. Every particle of dust, sand or stone owes its position and condition to the tides, winds, streams, rains or other forces. Islands are being raised up here or sunken there. People who don't study Physical Geography do not know the cause of many things they see, such as valleys, mountains, etc. They do not know that for millions of years Nature has been at work making things as they are. But people who study these changes understand life and know what to be thankful for.

making slow but sure advances. The Crusades or Holy Wars were the most remarkable undertaking of this age. During the Era of the Reformation which extended into the 17th century all wars and interests centered on religion. The last great combat was the Thirty-Years War which ended with the celebrated Peace of Westphalia. The Era of the Political Revolution extended from that Peace to the present time. We note with interest the conflict between despotic and liberal principles of government, and rejoice in the triumph of democratic ideas. Those of us who thot it worth while to expend our time and energy learn- ing of these great movements and the victories as well as the mistakes of the great leaders of history, think that time and energy have not been spent in vain. If we are wise we will profit by the success and the failures of others and will make better citizens for our own United States. .Q 9 ATIN, the bore of the less scholarly portion of the human family, is used by instructors as a means of securing the undivided N attention of youthful aspirants to linguistic honors. In the gymnasium of the mind this subject is much used in the place of, or rather to the exclusion of the three R's. And as a developer and strengthener it has them all beaten as the propor- tion x is to y as 3z is to the square of R shows. Since no other subject is so capable of developing the oratorical talent of the pupil, or better still since no other subject requires the amount of blufiing which Latin does, it is particularly adapted to, and much used by those who wish to take a Law or Medical course. For as Cicero says: Believe me, a good bluff beats four of a kind. After long and careful study it has been decided that the fire of October 17 was caused solely by the dryness of the Latin books ignited by a spark of interest shown by the Freshmen.
