The program of the school is based on the theory that teaching must embody a real understanding of the child and his development, and that the learning situation must consist of many happy experiences. The belief that we learn by experience is now enlarged — we learn by happy and mean- ingful experiences . The elementary building itself is one of the most modern ones on our campus. It houses a large kindergarten, two classrooms for each grade level, a music room, a children ' s library, a large gymnasium, and several additional classrooms. Front row: Miss Bone.

Elementary Department DR. RETAN When we speak of the campus school , we ai ' e referring to the elemen- tary school which is a part of our campus. This school maintains a program of education for the children of the surrounding area from kindergarten age through the sixth grade. It also furnishes an extensive program of training and actual experience for the student enrolled in elementary educa- tion at the college. Each instructor at the campus school is called a supervisor. Each of these supervisors has shown her teaching ability both by experience and graduate work in her chosen field. Her activities include teaching the children, directing student teaching, acting as advisors for students in the elementary curriculum, and participating in the Mansfield branch of the national Childhood Education Association.

Homemaking Department The Home Economics Department, at Mansfield, not only prepares our students to be future teachers; but gives each a wide vision of the place of Home Economics in the world. Under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Morales, the depart- ment head, girls gain at Mansfield a desire to help citizens of America in small com- munities to live happily and successfully tJijether. Cooking class Sewing- class Each girl in the department is afforded every possible opportunity to cultivate ways of better living in homes, schools, and ccm- munities. The Freshmen participate in Home Practice work in foods and clothing to develop skills and techniques in sewing and cooking. The Sophomores have six weeks in the management of a heme. At the end of the Junior year, the gii ' ls have com- mercial projects. Working away from heme better acquaints the girls with business and the necessity of practical experience and of meeting commercial standards. MRS. MORAI,ES
