This is the motto of Mr. Eldon Hui st who is teaching a special class in practical application of biology at Olympus ligh The practical application Mr. his students requires him to take them into nearby fields. There students are able to take what is called a density count Outdoor education enables us to make better use of the school it 4 m8am Hurst gives Jan Harvey gets closer look at newly-capture- d inhabitant. grounds. One of the first classes was spent in taking a density count of dandelions in the front lawn of the school. When taking the density count, students mark off a specified area and count tee population of plants or animal, which inhabit that limited area. After the count is taken, totals are in the laboratory. Accumulated data gives them an idea of what might happen another year in earth population and also gives them an idea of how a poll is handled, lor example, when the Fish and Game Dept, take a count of the deer Insect wet simplifies Dave Colburn's butterfly chase. population. Mr. Hurst feels that so far student reaction (o the class was affirmative and no real problems have developed from this type of class. At first they were somewhat puzzled about what would come of their count until they saw the figures on the blackboard, the teacher recalled.
