Teachers' Course. Assistant Professor HOLWAY. Discussion of methods of teaching, with individual conferences; special attention to the following: (1) The selection and use of science experiments to illustrate Physical Geography in ninth grade classes; (2) omission of technical portions of modern text-books; (3) methods of conducting field excursions; (4) adapting the Physical Geography course to the local environment of the high school. Graduate credit may be obtained by properly qualified students. 1 unit. Half course, first three weeks. M Tu W Th F, 1-3. Geography Laboratory, 51 North Hall. 3M. Field Excursion to Mt. Shasta. Assistant Professor HOLWAY. Up the Sacramento Valley to Mt. Shasta, the trip being made by boat from San Francisco to Red Bluff, thence by rail to Sisson. Stops will be made to see the reclaimed islands, old ox-bow cut-offs of the river, the levee system, the old Sutter Fort (1839) at Sacramento, the reservoir site of Iron Canyon Reclamation Project at Red Bluff, and the dissected lava flow at Shasta Retreat. Some work will be done at the foot of Mt. Shasta and then camp will be made on the mountain at an elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet. An opportunity will be given to climb the mountain. Registration should be made with the instructor in charge by June 15 to insure proper accommodations. For further details concerning equipment and expenses, applicants for this course are requested to write directly to Professor Holway, P. O. Box 215, Berkeley, California. Half course, second three weeks, July 11 to July 30. Preferably without credit. It may be possible for properly quali fied students to get major or graduate credit. Students who desire credit should consult the instructor. CHEMISTRY. HENRY C. BIDDLE, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry. WILLIAM C. MORGAN, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry. JOHN D. CLARK, M.S., Associate Professor of Chemistry, University of New Mexico. WILLIAM V. CRUESS, Assistant in Chemistry. The chemical laboratories will be open daily, except Saturdays, from 9 to 12 and from 1 to 4.
