To gain these, courses are offered in orientation, guidance, psychology, philosophy and teaching techniques. The education department has directed all practice teach- ing. They have presented actual school situations so that seniors might gain self-confidence and the ability to teach. In order to help students leaving Bloomsburg there is a placement service administered by Mr. Joseph R. Bailer. It is through this service that graduates find their place in the profession. 21

Left in Right Miss Mettler, -Miss McCammon, sir. Bnchhiet Health Education During the recent wartime years college students have become increasingly conscious of the importance of health. The Health Education Department gives students oppor- tunity to train themselves so they might further the health of the community in which they teach. During the war years the physical education directors trained Navy men. With reconversion to peace time ac- tivities intercollegiate sports are being stressed as well as a physical education program in the training school. Working with the physical education directors is the resident nurse, Miss Beatrice Mettler. In addition to her duties as nurse Miss Mettler conducts classes in hygiene. 23
