1. LAND SURVEYING.—Areas and distances by chain, com-

pass, and plane table; U. S. public land surveys, including legal points involved in the ree"stablishment of boundaries; magnetic variation and determination of true meridian. The students solve numerous problems in the field with instruments. To facilitate practice in surveying, an area has been specially prepared in which the difficulties of plane surveying are presented to the beginner as he is able to meet them, and where he is taught practical methods of overcoming them. All possible distances, directions, areas, and elevations are accurately known; and hence the instructor knows before-hand the precise result which the student should obtain. This is an incentive to the student and enables the teacher to show him the degree of accuracy attained,, and also to point out errors. Bellows and ITodgrman's Surveyor's Manual.
