Chapter II: Part 2

This course is a continuation of the work in Algebraic Theory designed especially for engineering students and for others who wish to continue advanced work. The student who is pursuing Mathematics for its vocational value and who does not intend to go to the University need not elect it, since the first term of Algebraic Theory, with Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, will give him sufficient equipment. The following topics are studied: synthetic division, simultaneous quadratic equations, special methods for higher equations, determinants, mathematical induction, binomial theorem, summation of series.

SCIENCE.

=Physical Geography.= Regularly a ninth year subject. Time: 7 or 8 periods per week.

First Term.

A study of land forms based on field excursions to points easily accessible afoot or on the street cars. Soil formation and conservation. A study of the physical features of California with their economic consequences, particularly the determination of the routes of railroads, the choice and construction of harbors, quartz and placer gold mining, the development of water power and long-distance electric transmission, lumbering, irrigation, agriculture, horticulture, etc. Tarr’s New Physical Geography, pages 13–172, liberally supplemented by the use of reference books, lantern slides, relief models and topographic maps. Wright’s Manual of Physical Geography.

Second Term.

A study of the simpler elements of weather and climate based on astronomic and other observations and on certain physical and chemical experiments. A study of the great wind belts of the world and regions of excessive, moderate, or deficient rainfall, locating each regionally in the continents. The climatic regions of the United States with particular reference to temperatures, prevailing winds, and rainfall—each as modified by physiographic features and by large bodies of water. A regional study of the United States with particular reference to milling, stock feeding, dairying, slaughtering and packing, iron, coal, lumber. Centers of manufacture with a consideration of methods and lines of transportation both by land and sea, particularly of the transcontinental lines which reach the Pacific Coast. Possible changes on the Pacific Coast due to the opening of the Panama Canal. Tarr’s New Physical Geography, pages 1–12 and 173–430, supplemented by the use of reference books, individual full-mounted globes, wall maps, weather maps, and excursions to the Chabot Observatory and the United States Weather Bureau. Wright’s Manual of Physical Geography.

=Botany.= Regularly a tenth year subject; but may be taken in the ninth year. Time: 8 periods per week, including double laboratory periods. Laboratory and recitation periods are arranged to suit the topic under consideration.

The text used in Bergen’s Essentials of Botany. In the main, the order of topics as there given is followed. More experiments in plant physiology are taken than are outlined in the text, and some time is devoted to the study of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon, including the chemistry of combustion. About 24 weeks are devoted to the study of seed plants, and 18 weeks to spore plants. Enough time is devoted to the study of the classification of seed plants to enable a pupil to use a key readily. An herbarium is not required; but the necessary instruction is given, and the pupil is encouraged in the preparation of one if he shows interest in this kind of work. In the study of spore plants particular attention is given to bacteria, yeasts and molds in their relation to household affairs.

=Zoology.= Regularly an eleventh year subject. Time: 7 or 8 periods per week, including double laboratory periods. It is expected that only one class will be organized in each year, this class to begin with the fall term.

First Term.

Invertebrate zoology, with comparative study of typical forms, e. g., amoeba, paramoecium, sponge, hydra, sea-anaemone, starfish, earthworm, shrimp, crab, etc. Special attention is given to beneficial and injurious insects.

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.

=Physics.= Brief Course. Regularly a twelfth year subject. Minimum preparation, 8 units, including first year algebra and the first term of plane geometry. Time: One period daily for one year. Credit: One unit.

This course fulfils the requirements in science for admission to the College of General Culture, the College of Commerce, and the General Course in Agriculture of the University of California, and for similar courses in other universities. It emphasizes the qualitative aspects of phenomena, omits the more difficult mathematics of the subject, takes fewer quantitative laboratory experiments and devotes less time to practical applications than the full course does. Astronomical topics are introduced here and there as they fit into the regular order of the work.

Full Course. Regularly a twelfth year subject. Minimum preparation: 10 units, including first year algebra and plane geometry. Time: 3 single periods and 2 double periods per week in the first half year; 2 single periods and 3 double periods per week in the second half year. Credit: One and one-half units.

The full course is prescribed in the fourth year for all pupils preparing for the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, and the Technical Course in Agriculture of the University of California, and for similar courses in other universities. It is elective for all other pupils who have the necessary preparation.

The full and the brief courses are given in separate classes, in either or both terms, when the number of students enrolled necessitates the organization of more than one class in the work of the term. When the classes are not thus divided, the pupils in the full course will take the work with the brief course class 5 periods per week, and will take additional work as a separate class 2 periods per week in the first term, and 3 periods per week in the second term.

Text-books: Coleman’s =Text-book of Physics=, and Coleman’s =New Laboratory Manual of Physics=.

University Admission Requirements in Science.

The University of California requires for admission at least one science given in the third or fourth year of the high school course. Physiology, Zoology, Chemistry, or Physics fulfils this requirement; Botany does not, but it receives regular admission credit as an elective subject. When Botany is offered together with any one of the other sciences, both receive admission credit, the one as an elective, the other as the prescribed third or fourth year science.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

1. One year of gymnasium work taken twice a week is required of all high school students. No unit credit is given for this alone. Athletic work, however, is taken throughout the four years, the equivalent of two periods a week—part gymnasium and part outdoor work—for which one unit is given towards graduation. For the first semester of the tenth year, a compulsory course in Hygiene is substituted for active work in the physical education department. A yearly medical and physical examination is required.

2. After the first term, if the work is deferred for a year or more, the first term must be repeated; for the required year’s work is to be continuous.

3. Girls’ Department—Gymnasium work consists of breathing exercises, free work, dumb bells, wands, Indian clubs, chest weights, mat work, folk dancing, and marching, with special emphasis laid on graceful carriage. Out door athletics—baseball, basket ball, volley ball, tennis, and playground games.

4. The regulation costume for girls’ class work consists of:

Middy Blouse .95 to 2.50
and
Bloomers $2.50 and up
Gym. Shoes .65 to 1.50

The course in hygiene for girls covers personal hygiene, including all the normal functions of the body—care of the infant and house; care of the sick; public sanitation, such as prevention of infectious diseases, garbage and sewage disposal; care of food in the home and supervision of dairies and markets, and federal activities in control of public health.

A medical examination is made of every freshman girl during her first term and is repeated as often after that as may seem necessary. In addition the physician is ready for consultation with pupils or their parents or teachers whenever desired.

5. Boys’ Work—Gymnasium work for boys consists of dumb bells and wand drill, Indian clubs, chest weights, breathing exercises, free hand and floor work. Special attention is paid to proper carriage. For advanced students, horse, parallel bars, horizontal bar and mat work. Out door athletics may be taken but is not compulsory. They consist of track, football, baseball, tennis, basketball, and swimming.

6. The regulation costume for the boys’ class work consists of:

Gymn. upper .50
Running pants .50
Supporter .75
Tennis shoes .70 to $1.50
