ml I-I CARL KLANDRUD CHARLOTTE CURRAN EDITH E. WEBERG State Normal School, La B. s. University of Wisconsin State Normal School, Stevens Crosse, Wisconsin Physical Education Point, Wisconsin Athletic Director Home Economics Wisconsin demands a large number of well-trained elementary and grammar grade teachers each year. The school has two year curricula and departments for the training of grammar grade teachers, intermediate grade teachers, and primary teachers. The Department for the Training of Rural Teachers was established in 1911 and now supplies practically all the teachers for the surrounding counties. Four one room school rooms are operated by the college and afford excellent conditions for practice. Nor is the opportunity for social and physical development slighted at River Falls. A large gymnasium in each building, one for women and one for men, a large athletic field, a fine new swimming pool in the New Building, and the tennis courts on the South Campus afford recreation for all. Athletics of all branches is coached and sponsored for both men and women, and contests are not only between colleges but also between classes and organizations within the school to afford everyone a chance to participate. Music, forensics, and dramatics are equally well developed. l-m wi1 l- :- ' r J-- MARY B.

Teachers College, Co- St. Cloud College lumbia University Fourth Grade Critic Third Grade Critic Second Grade Critic training, and each student is required to take a definite amount of practice. Each grade has a room and a regular teacher or grade critic. The classes are taught by the practice teachers under the supervision and advice of the critic. This training by an experienced instructor is of great value to the young teacher. Special training is given in art, music, manual arts, home economics, and physical training. It is the aim of these departments not to produce artists or musicians but to create in each child the ability to see and hear, and the desire to create beauty for himself, that life may be more worthwhile. Let anyone questioning the value of this training stand by any day and watch the children as they come into the art room to work on some useful and interesting project. These include problems in design, harmony of color, beauty of line and form. The projects may include modeling, soap sculpture, study of masterpieces, interior decoration, costuming, drawing and painting, and others too numerous to mention. LUCILE M.
