Description:	INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 59The student is required to make working drawings (a) of cyl¬ inders, cones, vases, etc. (b) of cube, pyramid, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, etc. He is required to study and rep¬ resent the appearance of objects when seen singly and in groups. He is required to judge of the fitness of forms studied to the purposes of decoration. Before leaving the work he must plan and draw, (a) a design suitable for surface decoration, (b) bor¬ ders to limit surfaces, (c) single arrangements complete in themselves.In reviewing each phase of the work the student is led to consider the processes of mind employed in mastering the phase, and to plan a course in drawing which shall be adapted to give mental discipline.Geo. W. Thompson,Head of Department.PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY.PHYSICS.The work in physics is two terms of thirteen weeks each. It consists of daily recitations and laboratory work.In the recitation work the first term the subject is discussed under three heads:1. Matter and its properties, in which special attention is given to a discussion of the molecule, the constitution of matter, physical and chemical changes, force, three states of matter, phenomena of attraction—adhesion, cohesion, capillarity, etc.2. Dynamics, as dynamics of fluids, pressure of fluids, ba¬ rometer, compressibility and expansibility of fluids, transmitted pressure, siphon, raising of liquids, buoyant force of fluids, specific gravity, motion, laws of motion, composition and reso¬ lution of forces, center of gravity, curvilinear motion, acceler¬ ated and retarded motion, the pendulum, momentum, work and energy, transformation of energy and the simple machines.3. Heat.—Heat defined, temperature, diffusion of heat, ef¬ fects of heat, expansion, thermometry, laws of gaseous bodies,
