To be able to communicate knowledge to other people, and at the same time to inspire them to a greater desire for learning, is the gift of the real teacher. The study of education and psy- chology helps the student to view all subjects in relation to the whole as they assume their proper per- spective. Through this same medium, the study of education and psychol- ogy as pursued in the past, com- pared with the present systems, adds to the knowledge of what is being accomplished along educa- tional lines in the light of the teach- er ' s responsibility towards the lives that he is to influence. Courses in the learning and teaching processes, followed by participation, observation, and di- rected teaching in the elementary and secondary fields, prepare the student for actual teaching. As one learns how to train others, his own life will be molded after the likeness of the divine Teacher. Professor Gerald E. Miles explains a theory of psychology. Education Miss S. Ellen Klose, Director of Elementary Teacher Training and her group of critic teachers.

If one can once get past the thick cloud of smelly fumes that float down the stairs of the Science Building and brave the dangers that the uninitiated fear are in the upper regions, he will find one of the most interesting places on the campus. Here marvels and mysteries are revealed before the wondering eyes of the careful student. Contrary to the mistaken notion that chemistry is just a study for the would-be doctor or nurse, the fact is that chemical processes are going on around us all the time, and the study of the composition of substances, their analysis, and the trans- formations which they undergo all hold a challenge to anyone who is at all inter- ested in what makes himself and the things around him tick. Dr. Philip S. Chen, Head of Department of Chemistry soybean specialist. Chemistry and Biology Dr. Chen ' s chart has attracted nation-wide attention.

;. Rochelle Philmon-Kilgore, inspirational Head of Department f English, has done much research work in the literary field. English language and literature is the basis and background for all other subjects. To be able to put commas where they belong, to write an article for the school paper, to give a speech that swings the final vot e on a de- bate, to have a fine feeling for words and their proper uses — all this and much more is taught and cultivated in this popular department of the college. The study of the masters, recog- nizing their philosophy, seeing things through their eyes, having higher hopes and ideals because of their works, being inspired to greater heights, develops in the student a greater appreciation of the finer things of life. There are some classes which are, as Mrs. Kilgore says, The strawberry shortcake of life. These are the poetry classes. Even the stu- dent who thinks he does not like poetry will go away from these classes with his ideas entirely re- versed, his outlook broadened, his vision cleared, his purpose ennobled.
