Through the well-used devices of sitting on the edge of the chair and thinking the tones up high, we did, much to our surprise, get through with a swelling amount of knowledge of music. But from the amateurs the music faculty pulled the more profes- sional, and through their efforts we had a Glee Club, an orchestra, a band, and those lovely individual recitals during the spring quarter.

It may have been at the Main Street School, at the Harrisonburg High School, or in one of the outlying communities, Dayton, Bridge- water, or Pleasant Hill — to which you commuted in the college car. But the problems were essentially the same: lesson plans, which always worked out in the way exactly opposite to what you wanted, when someone asked the wrong question; individual differences of children — if they had only been made all alike, they might stick together; conferences, in which you discussed everything from the child ' s history to the ethics of a future teacher; home visiting, when you didn ' t know what to say, so you said nothing. These were the trials of a student teacher, but it wasn ' t so bad after all ; and you got practical experience for the years in which you are to follow the profession.
