ASTRONOMY A course in general Astronomy may be taken up during the Falland Winter terms. A text book, such as Youngs Lessons in Astronomy,revised, is used. Practical work, such as the use of the telescope,photographing stars, etc., is required. The school is provided with athree inch telescope for this work. A fair knowledge of geometry andtrigonometry will be very helpful in the work. GEOLOGY DYNAMIC, STRUCTURAL AND PHSYIOGRAPHIC periods a week throughout the Spring term. This course ispursued regularly by tne Senior class and consists of lectures, reci-. OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT 25 tations, some field work and laboratory work. The course comprises astudy of the common minerals and rocks, of weathering, rivers, lakes,glaciers, ocean, nature and origin of rocks, mountain formation,volcanoes, earthquakes, fossils; also the application of the principlesof dynamic geology to an interpretation of the past history of the laboratory work is devoted to the study of specimens, models, andto field study of interesting geological phenomena.
