Lab Work In The Classroom Brings Text Alive Mr. Walter Felty demonstrates the use of pictures in the classroom in helping the child to learn. Being used more and more by teachers on oil levels, visual aids open a new area of study for educators.

This is our campus, inside its buildings, on its grounds, and into its far reaching areas we find learning toking ploce. Although the materials with which these structures are mode are very tangible. the book knowledge and lessons for living which we gain here are just as real. Students Prepare For Fulfillment of Abilities When one comes to college he is primarily con- cerned with gaining a knowledge in a specific field which will prepare him for the career of his own choosing The language class, the history lecture, the art course, or the chemistry laboratory are all ways of obtaining that education which one needs for the ful- fillment of ambitions and abilities. For the business major there is the actual experience of working in a downtown office. The student teacher is placed before a room full of live subjects, and one like the engineer puts his knowledge to use bv surveying local property. Thus learning is not confined to a book alone, but is a continuous process. Likewise, this is true for the entire scope of our mental cultivation. The acquirement of knowledge goes on despite the fact that the student has stepped out of the classroom and placed his books on the shelf. In activities, organizations, athletics, or whatever one may do there is room for a lesson in life. Students in Professor Liebermon ' s first year longuoge classes ocquire their first basic skills in German. German is an important segment of the curriculum of students in suc h fields as engineering.

All that is learned in the advanced zoology and chemistry classes is aptly put to use when the medical technology majors get their practical experience dur- ing their senior year at the new Cabell-Huntington Hospital, This recent addition to the Marshall cur- riculum includes 12-months ' experience in the hos- pital laboratory under the constant supervision of registered instructors and doctors. For 52 weeks the student technologists daily perform actual hospital work, taking blood donors, running blood tests, plant- ing cultures of bacteriology, and preparing slides of tissue. In addition, this practice is supplemented by in- struction and demonstrations, formal lectures, super- vised study in the library, and regular examinations, oral, written, and practical. Satisfactory completion of this training qualifies the student to take the Registry Examination, which if passed makes him a Registered Medical technologist. Thus practical job training filters into the scienti- fic field as well as into the less specialized courses. With three years of class work and one year of train- ing for 44 hours each week, the medical technology student is reedy and qualified to enter the medical field.

Science Courses Applied As Technicians Work In Lab Comparative anatomy is o must )- ■ the majors in the medical fields. Here the students enrolled advanced zoology dissect sharks to get a practical underston jnr.j of the differences in anatomy of various animals. Pre-medicul students, zoology majors. and medical technologists who are trained at Marshall receive the benefit of the modern Science Hall, with its laboratories and scien- tific equipment ovoiloble for student use. 10
