CHEMISTRY.

Professor Bird.

Mr. Merz.

Instruction in chemistry is offered to high school teachers and such
others as are indicated below. The ample facilities of the School of
Chemistry of the University are available and its laboratory and
library will be used.

1. General Chemistry for High School Teachers.—This course is
designed to meet the needs of those who may have to give instruction
in chemistry in high schools. A daily discussion of the elementary
principles of the science will be held and simple lecture-table
demonstrations made.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Bird. Wst Range Laboratory.

2. Laboratory Course for High School Teachers.—The sole object
of this course is to train each member of the class to give laboratory
instruction in secondary schools; the situation that is likely to
confront each one will be considered individually. The following
topics will be discussed: The particular branches of the subject which
should be taught high school students; the apparatus and chemicals
necessary and their cost; how to equip a laboratory and how to
make the best use of facilities likely to be found in a high school.
It is planned to have the teacher perform, under the eye of the
instructor, all experiments that the pupils should perform and such
demonstration experiments as seem desirable. Special attention will
be given to the fitting up of apparatus at a nominal cost, and the
apparatus thus assembled may be taken away for future use. The
essential pedagogic points of the experiments will be discussed fully
and an effort made to show the teacher how to instill life into the
laboratory work of the pupil, by pointing out its practical bearing.
The chief emphasis will be laid upon the essential phenomena and
laws of matter changes, especially those of daily occurrence.

Daily, from 9:30 to 11:30. Professor Bird. West Range Laboratory.

3. The Principles of General Chemistry.—This course is offered
especially for those desiring University credit in general chemistry
or who are preparing to enter some medical school requiring chemistry
for entrance. It is essentially a quiz class and will deal mainly
with the more important phenomena of inorganic chemistry and
the fundamental laws of chemical science.

Daily, hours to be arranged. Professor Bird and Mr. Merz. West
Range Laboratory.

4. Laboratory Course.—The facilities of the laboratory and library
are offered to those who wish to do special work in general or
analytical chemistry. The instruction in this course will be such as
to meet the needs of the following groups of students: Those who desire
experience in the analytical methods used in a particular line they
may seek to enter; those who contemplate taking a civil service examination
in chemistry and who wish additional laboratory instruction;
those who need additional laboratory experience in order to meet the
entrance requirements of professional schools; those who desire
to apply for University credit.

Daily, hours to be arranged. Professor Bird and Mr. Merz. West
Range Laboratory.

Note.—In addition to the regular fee for Course 2 all except high
school teachers will be charged a laboratory fee of three dollars,
and everyone must deposit three dollars to cover breakage. Such
portion as is not consumed will be refunded. In Course 4 a
laboratory fee of ten dollars and a breakage deposit of five dollars
will be required.

Credit.—Credit for Course 1 B of the regular session in general
chemistry will be given to any one who complies with the following
requirements: The conditions set forth on pages 16 and 17 must be
fulfilled; Courses 3 and 4 above must be completed satisfactorily
and not less than one hundred and fifty hours devoted to these two
courses; an examination equivalent to that of the regular session
must be passed. Credit for one or two terms of chemistry 1 B
outlined in the University catalogue may be attained. The entrance
requirements in chemistry of the Medical School may be fulfilled.
