Home Economics The Home Economics School has gotten off to a fresh start this year with a new Dean, Mrs. Glenn, Ph.D. With a relatively new building, now air-conditioned, and new ideas pooled from various sources, students in Home Economics are enlightened as well as thoroughly educated. Home Economics is concerned with the well- being of people. Its focus is primarily upon the individual as a family member. In support of the over-all objectives, Home Economics has evolved education and services which develop and help to maintain abilities or competences needed for the achievement of the broad objectives. These objectives are directed toward the betterment of family life through their direct application in the home and through professional activities outside the home. An informal and close relationship between the faculty and students is brought about by the types of classes held and the student faculty dinners and teas given throughout the year. Past century costumes are inspected by two Home Economics students in the newly organized collection. The aging process is an important experiment in the Clothing and Textiles laboratory. Food and Nutrition majors such as Carol TJlich must learn to measure iood weights and values.

The School of Education is the tocal point for the preparation of students phmning to serve the teaching profession. In this capacity it works closely with other schools in the University and the College of Arts and Sciences in sponsoring workshops, institutes, and con- ferences. Even before the arrival of the Sputnik Age, great effort was made to strengthen programs of pro- fessional preparation. Since then the faculty of the School of Education has redoubled its effort. They have sought and received the wholehearted coopera- tion of other divisions of the University. Our programs in elementary and early childhood education provide qualified teachers for Florida Schools. The programs for preparing high school teachers have been ex- panded greatly. A training program for junior-college instructors has been put into operation during the past year. Also, graduate students can now prepare for teaching and administrati ' e positions in colleges and universities. Student teacher, Betty Henderson, finds that she must spend hours after school to keep up.

Small practice rooms of the music school are usually filled with musicians such as Virginia Hermann, violinist. The School of Music was estabhshed in 1911 and continues to serve the State of Florida as an educational center in the field of music through its dedication to music as a positive social force, by active cooperation with the other divisions of The Florida State University and by striving to uphold a standard of educa- tional output equal to the best in the United States. The undergraduate program remains the center of the School of Music. The steady increase in the size of the student body places the school near the lead in numbers of music majors in the colleges and universities of the covmtry. Two doctoral curricula were activated during the past year as part of the Doctor of Music degree program. These represent fields of study frequently requested by advanced graduate stu- dents: the Doctor of Music with a Concentration in Vocal Literature.
