Jan. 21 collect sample plants & animals and set them up
in the laboratory in an aquarium. We found we
had much in common with respect to our educational
view point. She agreed fully that much can be done
in science by a good teacher even without equipment.
There are 605 girls in the school, dressed in
green, black & white uniforms. All stand
whenever the principal walks by. The girls
were all dark haired, dark skinned, dark-eyed
and most were slender. Grades are 11 & 12.
Both the arts and sciences are represented.
Girls in "science" take physics or engineering
and end up, if successful as medical
people or teachers. They must have 1st division
marks (60% a min) to go on to the university.
The art block of the college offers home economics,
geography and math, as an elective. The
Science block - physics, chemistry, biology, and
math.
When a woman finishes in physics she can go
on to the univ. for honors course.
The school gives a diploma on completion but
students may go on in the degree college,
located in the same school for a BSc in
science or an AB in the arts. The degree
college operates in the morning. Those
who only get a diploma in science may
work as lab technicians or assistants.
