KGZZPQQ Types pf Business Men N A survey of the business field we can distinguish three types of business men. The first and spec- tacular class comprises outstanding Hgures of fabulously wealthy oil mag-- nates or steel manufacturers, who struggled fiercely and relentlessly year after year until they amassed great personal fortunes. And then they turned to philanthropy as the pursuit of their senile years. In the second group are the men who take their business seriously and feel it ia flagrant error to mix any social pleasure with the grim pursuit ofvwealth and com- mercial success. Out of business hours they may be the jolly good fellow, open-handed to their church, devoted to an agreeable golf foursome. But never would they combine the lighter hours with the solemnity of office hours. DEAN ISIOFFMAN And last is the great group in which we find the average American business man, the business man who does not take his office work too seriously or his social hours too light-heartedly. He is the man who mixes business with pleasure and pleasure with business and has the best, all-rounded career when the last books are balanced. In the Commerce College we are endeavoring to fit our young men for useful careers as business men and citizens in the last-named group. We want them to realize that no ultimate happiness is obtained by a grim, tight-lipped struggle for money and then a last-minute conversion to philanthropy to make up for an empty life. Neither do we want them to be business men of the second type, menlwho scrupulously avoid mixing business and pleasure. We know that only in the third group will they find happiness and satisfaction both materially and aesthetically. Our class instructions and text books all point out that the -happiest business man is the one who earns his money honestly and not by stepping on underlings, who. has time to cultivate his aesthetic side and enjoy paintings and books and music, who helps the other fellow along. No true pride and happiness can .come to the greedy business man who climbs on the necks of unfortunate competitors and then flings money in the face of the poor or the church or education and calls it philanthropy. Honesty, sincerity, an earnest desire to enjoy life sanely and gain a rightfully- earned place in the business world, is the goal we set the young men who enter our Commerce College. Twenty five

Q4 Q3rofessz'onal f1 fa1'n1'12B I-lE College of Education of Drake University does more than to prepare teachers. It combines professional training with a liberal, educationg it prepares in all the fundamentals of education as recognized by the experiences of the past and the authorities of the present, thus affording opportunity for basic and advanced knowledge of subject matter to be taughtg it affords opportunity for the study of the history and theory of teach- ing combined with actual experi- ence in public school classrooms under the supervision of the most skillful teachers and supervisors. 8,4 There may be some who do not DEAN BARR know that the student enrolled in - the College of Education has the Q - - opportunity to carry on his major work in any academic subject or subjects desired. In this particular he has equal opportunities with the student enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts. He has also all of the privilege of election that are open to the student enrolled in 'that college. All this is without additional tuition. In addition to these privileges. the College of Education student is required to take the professional work that hts for managing children in school, church, and social activities. The College of Education of Drake University does not believe in graduating students with professional training but no academic background, therefore, arrangements have been made for major and minor lines of work, including all of the different subjects taught in the public schools. ' The demand for such courses as are offered in the College of Education lead- ing to the degree, Bachelor of Science in Education, is indicated in the fact that while the first class taking this degree a very few years ago numbered three members, the applications received to date indicate that there will be about fifty degrees granted by this college at the end of this school year. The College of Education prepares teachers for kindergarten, primary, ele- nifenltlary and junior high school, as well as for the high school. The graduates o t is. college are found in the public schools not only ol' lowa but of all of the 2211523 111 gledmlddle west and the west and in nianv of tlic eastern and southern c S.
