The campus junior high school acts as the connecting link between the elementary school and the senior high school. It is at this age level that the school is confronted by the turbulent problems of adolescent youth. Modern educators have come to the realization that the vocational as well as the ccademic subjects are important in the all around development of the indi- vidual. Art, music, homemaking education, industrial arts, and physical edu- cation help to accomplish this purpose. A well-filled library encourages students to read for enjoyment. Sports contests of various kinds are held to promote physical development and good sportsmanship. The school lunch cafeteria insures a balanced diet for the child. A really wonderful job is being done with junior high school students by the AMERICAN TEACHER.

Dr. George A. Retan Director of Elementary Education The Elementary Department under the direction of Dr. George A. Retan seeks to promote better childhood education through the use of more pro- gressive methods. The elementary student teacher learns and practices the latest innovations of great educators. The supervisors of the elementary laboratory school are a tribute to the school teaching profession. They are responsible not only for the pupils in their grade but also for their student teachers. Although this is a large respon- sibility, it is most capably handled by teachers who through wide experience have accumulated a great store of knowledge about everything in general. Since a much larger number of children enter grade school than ever reach high school or college, the task of the elementary teacher is an im- portant one. Her well-rounded personality and excellent teacher-training make her typical of THE AMERICAN TEACHER. Elementary Student Teacher

The elementary school is an impressive modern structure especially de- signed to make the task of the AMERICAN TEACHER easier and more effec- tive. In addition to being well equipped, the rooms are light and pleasant. These factors and many more make the American school child of today enjoy going to school. Starting with kindergarten and ending with the sixth grade, the children are directed through a program designed to develop their personalities as well as their academic abilities. The curriculum includes the traditional sub- jects supplemented by art, music, and physical education. Truly the oppor- tunities of a school child in America are of a wider range than anywhere else in the world. ELEMENTARY SUPERVISORS First row: Misses Bone. Serge, Ross, Umstot, Habeger, Hutch- inson.
