The oldest and one of the most sue
cessful OF the Institutes departments
is the school of Pharmacy. Although
only entering it's sixth year. 1t is the
largest school of its kind in Indiana
in point OF students enrolled. and 1t is
the seventh largest in the United
States. The present laws In Indiana
has made 1t necessary for pharmacists
and chemists to become educated be-
fore they can practice, their calling.
They must be able as dispenser Of
medicines to meet a practicing physi-
lit rs -.
the law an, apprenticeship Is drug.
store as washer OF bottles and q dis
penser Of soda water will not qualify
a young man to do pharmaceutical and
chemical work for the public. The laws
are so rigidly enforced that a drug
gist Ia no longer permitted to be the
teacher OF his clerk, and this alone has
made it necessary for young men to
turn to schools OF pharmacy. The
Winona School prepares young man
for work along scientific lines in phar-
macies, sugar refineries, boundaries,
tanneries, steel mills, packing houses,
and for many lines of business in
which few years ago chemists were
unheard OF.
The Winona School Of Lithography.
che only one in North America. which
draws its students from foreign coun.
tries as we'll as from over the United
States, has graduated a number of
young men who have since become
foremen and superintendent OF COM
mercial plants. It's methods of in
struction have succeeded the old way
Of teaching apprentices in shops. The
School has a very extensive equipment.
given over entirely to the use Of the
students, and the instruction carries
the young men through every detail
OF the trade, not only how to perform
the work, but why certain effects are
produced. The chemistry Of litho.
graphy, something never learned by
the old photographer in his apprentice
ship days, has CONSPICUOUS place in
the schools instruction. The prepar-
alton of stones, drawing, engraving,
transferring, presswork, all necessary
steps in TYPOGRAPHY, are a part of the
schooling.
