About fifty attended Sunday school and Church services at the Grange NEW COURSE IS ADDED IN THE LOCAL NIGH SCHOOL New Course In High School Curriculum For Freshman General Science Taken rjp Text By Los Angeles High School Professor. 0. M. Williams Local In structor For New Course Many High Schools Add Practical Science Course. A new course has been added to the High School curriculum this year and the fact Ih cspieclally Interesting because the subject Is one that is attracting attention among people In terested in school work all over the country. The course Is In General Science and Is planned for freshman. Instead of taking up seperate courses In Physics, Chemistry, and Hiology, the course treats In a general way of I lie must common scientific pheno mena and shows the practical appli cations of the various branches of science The text used here was writ ten by the principal of one of the I'ue -...ti o tt wfooqag iIl treats of the earth and some of the most Important features connected with Its formation and with the life processes found on It. This study of the earth aa the home of animals and men neccesaarlly involves the study of Geology, Hotany, Chemistry, PhyalcH, Zoology and other sciences In a different way than when the courses are presented separately Science Is divided Into compartments for convenience In classification and can seperated easily enough in u lab oratory. Mut in nature the sciences are all mixed up as for example we hear the statement that a single horse croping the grass on a hillside presents problems in practically ev ery branch of science. The purpose of the general science courses which are being Introduced In schools and colleges all over the country Is to bring the study of science a little clos er to nature uml to avoid giving the student the Impression (hat science is really divided into departments as likely to happen when the division Is made for the sake of convenience in presenting the subject. There are a number of problems connected with the teaching of gen eral science that have not been sol ved satisfactorily. The biggest one Is what to leave out for It Is obvious ly Impossible to cover much ground in general science In one yeur. An other problem is how to get the stud ents Into unythlug far enough so that they will realize its significance. However the problem Is being attack ed in many places and doubtless the right method will be found after a reasonable amount of experimenting Mr. C. M. Williams is the instructor of the course In our High School Mali on Sunday of last week. Kobert bender returned to his horn.- on the boulevard after a few weeks stay at the OeArmond ran.
