 and their chlorimids quinones were illustrated by diagram.) 



SCIENCE, A FACTOR IN CHARACTER BUILDING 



A. F. Reiter, 1917.

 in the literature of the race and as such, is taught to our students 

 in the secondary schools. As a balance, to offset such concepts, we 

 should require more than one year of science in our high schools 

 course. Science, and a knowledge of its laws makes its master a 

 leader and not a follower.
