DUI? CULLEGE We have spent four years here at Teachers College, and we feel, each and everyone of us, that these years' training has been more valuable to us than any other form of instruction that anybody could possibly recommend for us. Not one of us would trade our four years here for an education of the same duration of time anywhere else. As for our actual work at the college, there is no real beginning or no definite ending. Everything has been so closely interwoven and entwined that we are able to point to no tangible starting or stopping place. We are only aware of the fact with the greatest certitude that our studying and hard work has not been aimless. It has led to what we recognize as more growth, more experience, more knowledge of what has happened and what is likely to happen, insofar as our own profession is concerned, namely schoolfteaching. In our work at the training school we have come into close contact with pupils of a variety of ages and sizes. This has been an education in itself. After having stood at the receiving end of the line for many years, we were now at the transmitting end, giving knowledge to little children, who may, in their turn, be practicing the same procedure in a few years hence. Now that our period of training is finished, and we are about to put to practical use what we have learned during the past four years, we should like to say that we believe our course here has been a most enjoyable and beneficial experience. lvlfxm' WALSH.
