SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Q' Vlvlili importance of instruction in the biological and physical sciences in the secondary schools is immedi- ately apparent when one considers the contributions of these sciences to human welfare. Aside from the purely utilitarian value, Science, with its amassed amount of facts and formulae which in essence is fundamental and necessary to the understanding of and participation in the present environment, contributes to the cultivation of desirable habits of mind. Keen observations, weigh- ing of evidence, formulating correct conclusions,-all these are desirable habits and in the field of research and experimentation, become profoundly important. It appears then, finally, that the enjoyment, health, and continued progress of mankind depend increasingly upon a proper understanding and use of scientific facts, formulae, and procedures.
