Miss Brooks Head of Music Department The Music Department may be greatly reduced in size from previous years but that fact has not hampered its development of the prospective AMERICAN TEACHER. Besides the numerous courses in music theory and culture, the music students are given extensive training in voice and instru- mental work with special attention to their major instrument. The unlimited number of college activities provide splendid opportuni- ties for the students to display their musical abilities. Assembly programs, vesper services, and monthly Sunday afternoon musicales are just a few of the programs featuring talent from the Music Education Department. We in the Music Department extend our best wishes to Mr. Bertram Francis, the former department head who has answered the call to duty, Into his position we have welcomed the very efficient leadership of Miss Marjorie Brooks.

Dep Mrs. Elizabeth B. Morales Director cf Homemaking Department. Miss Mattson and Juniors in the Apartment. The Homemaking Education Department does a fine job in preparing the future teacher of America. A homemaking student has the opportunity to study in many subject fields. Besides the homemaking courses in foods, clothing, nutrition, child care, management, and design, she takes courses in education, health, art, literature, history, languages, psychology, and the sciences. The young women are given every possible opportunity to practice homemaking in all its phases. In our very modern and attractive apartment on campus, small groups of students live for a period of six weeks with a resi- dent director, Miss May Mattson, during their junior year. Here they put into practice the principles they have been taught in other homemaking courses. Also during their junior year, the Home Eccers manage and carry out the school lunch program at the Junior High School under the supervision of Miss Maryon Farrer. Each student teaches a semester on campus under careful guidance and has the additional privilege of teaching under supervision in a vocational homemaking department for six weeks in an approved high school in Penn- sylvania during her senior year.

This program is under the supervision of Eugene P. Bertin. As head of the Secondary Department, he attempts to solve any problems which may con- front students, teachers, or the department itself. To the secondary student Mansfield offers a selection of such special fields as science, mathematics, social studies, English, and languages. Spe- cialization allows the secondary student to major in the subjects in which he is most interested. The campus junior high school provides the setting for a direct application by the young secondary teacher of the knowledge he has acquired in his particular field. And thus an American secondary teacher is born. English Lit. under Dr Swan
