More Improvements and Better Work From Students

Can you imagine a chemistry laboratory built to accommodate ten students accommodating some twenty or more?

Well, it is being done, but at a very great inconvenience to both teachers and students.

Some must take two periods a day on certain days, and others one every day. This is especially hard on the teacher because she must be in the laboratory or the class room constantly three periods out of seven each day.

Then, too, something of importance might come up in one experiment class that would be of importance and interest to all and owing to the fact that they could not all be together, some would miss it.

The chemistry class has waited three weeks for apparatus which has not yet arrived and there is no telling how much longer they will have to wait before they can begin laboratory work.

If Carson High had a larger laboratory it would be better equipped and this delay would not be necessary. The students would take more interest in their work and would without a doubt get along better.

Come! Let's have a great big new lab, for the next chemistry class if not for this one either.
