. I i , , ILL. TRAINING SCHOOL FACULTY One of the most important phases of our college life is our practice teaching. We are very fortunate to be able to make, under the skillful supervision of the Mark Hopkins and Otis training teachers, a practical application of the techniques we learn at the college. Throughout the past year we have derived untold benefit from the demonstration lessons which the training teachers have given at the college. The efforts these teachers have put forth have been made worth while by the knowledge we have gleaned. The Otis Training School is a new project worthy of high commendation. Under the supervision of Miss Lyman the girls find a most interesting and practical experience. This outstanding opportunity has been accepted by a number of students this year, We hope this valuable arrangement may continue. Training teachers, our sincere expression of gratitude goes to you!
