Second Term.
Vertebrate zoology, with comparative study of human anatomy and physiology. Detailed laboratory study of the anatomy of the frog.
Text-books: Jordan, Kellogg and Heath’s Animal Studies, both terms; Conn and Budington’s Advanced Physiology, second term.
Physiology, Hygiene and Sanitation. Regularly an eleventh year subject. Time: 7 or 8 periods per week, including double laboratory periods.
The course is intended to contribute as much as possible toward healthful living. The study of structure and function is made the basis of an intelligent appreciation of the principles of hygiene. The conception of the body as a mechanism which requires new materials of definite kinds to replace worn out parts, and which also requires a constant supply of energy to enable it to do its work is made the basis of the study of food materials and the principles of dietetics. The course concludes with a study of the nature of infectious and contagious diseases and the means by which they are communicated; and domestic and public sanitation.
Text-books: Conn and Budington’s Advanced Physiology and Brown’s Physiology for the Laboratory.
Chemistry. Regularly an eleventh year subject. Previous preparation should include at least one-half year of algebra; but the chemistry may be taken without it. Time: 7 or 8 periods per week, with double laboratory periods.
General Chemistry. The subject essentially as presented in McPherson and Henderson’s Elementary Study of Chemistry and Laboratory Exercises in Chemistry by the same authors.
Household Chemistry. This is alternative with the general course in the second half year. The work of the first half year is the same as in the general course. The course in household chemistry is intended for girls, and substitutes the chemical problems and processes of the home for those of the mine, the smelter, and the metallurgical and chemical industries in general. Large use is made of a reference library of works in the chemistry of cooking, cleaning and sanitation. Blanchard’s Household Chemistry is used as a laboratory guide.
The credit toward graduation and the college entrance credit is the same for the household chemistry as for the general course.
