We are so crowded for room in the

he is liable to lose his place.
The singing lessons are very inter.
esting at present. 1t is novelty tc
most of us; some dislike it but all
have to take it and Prof. Slater said,
''you'll never get to Heaven if you
can't sing, Result, Every one is
taking music.

everyone is invited to visit the school
as it shows the public is interested in
our work.
The chemistry class is studying oxy-
gen, its physical and chemical proper.
ties and its combination with other ele-
ments. During the past week appro.
pirate experiments have been per.
formed, illustrating the evolution of the
gas and its properties of combustion
New chemicals and apparatus will be
ordered for the class and with these
acquisition more efficient work can bt
done.
The class in physics has finished the
properties of matter and has taken ur
Newton's Three Laws of Motion anc
their application.
No science will broaden students
vision and observation as keenly AZ
natural philosophy and this depart
ment will be reinforced with apparatus
and reference books as well as the
chemistry class. The manner ant
enthusiasm with which the classe.
enter these domains of science are in.
dicative of fruitful results.
The class in solid geometry ant
higher algebra is progressing rapid,
in the seventh book. Besides the re
gular propositions the class will solv'
the numerical problems in the regular
text book as we'll as many others from
various authors in order that ther'
may be developed in the student geo
metrical reasoning and proof in con
structions and in computations of pro
blems involving mensuration.
The class in photography is yer.
