Wilmington High School Activities

The members Of the chemistry
class. realizing that the number OF
detailed facts is so great and that
the application OF its principles so
wide. have organized a science club |
for. the study OF scientific problems
other than those taken up in the
regular class room instruction.
II is the plan Of the club to initi- |
ate or supplement the study OF the
different topics by an excursion to
factory or industrial plant where
the operations may be viewed at
first hand. thus affording the pupil
the opportunity for vivid concep-
tion OF the practicability OF scientific
knowledge and causes him to see
that there Is definite relation be-
tween test tubes and beakers OF the
laboratory and the watts. cOncentra-
tors and furnaces OF the factory.
The educational requirements
necessary for entrance as well as
the course in college. Of the different
professions involving science will
be presented to the club. man.
who has practiced his profession
successfully will be asked to come
and discuss the several topics with
the club. This will give those who
are planning to take up scientific
work a better and wider conception
OF what they are entering and what
is actually required of them in the
practice OF the profession.
