In the campus Junior High School, college students in the secondary, music and homemaking departments have opportunities to teach, to correlate, to evaluate, and to put into practice the educational theories and principles which they have acquired in college classes. At the head of each department there is an efficient supervisor who super- vises and guides his department, and who must act as a critic, guide, and good example for student teachers. No word ot praise is too great for the supervisors and the part they play in the growth of the student teachers. School Campus Junior High School

The A.A.C.E., officially known as the American Association for Childhood Education, is a national organization consisting of all the students and faculty members enrolled in the Elementary Department. Our club at M.S.T.C. is only one of many throughout the United States. The purpose of the A.A.C.E. is to better prepare its members for the important role of the Elementary teacher. The meetings throughout the year are planned to meet this purpose, for they include discussions of current affairs, both as governmental and cultural topics, lectures, holiday observances, workshop meetings, and panel discussions. Through these meetings the students are a ' so given the opportunity of getting better acquainted with other students training for Elementary education, and with the instructors in this field. Our organization this year has proved its worth on the campus, for it has provided both intellectual and cultural development of its members.
