The student teachers have the opportunity to observe the high educational standards at the Training School, which inspire them as future teachers to achieve higher ideals and goals.

S (M A L S I E N n E MTSC is certainly fortunate to have Dr. Nor- man Parks as head ot the largest department on the campus — the Social Science Department. A former college dean and newspaper editor, he brings a wide experience to the college. Social studies covers a wide tield ot practical problems. It offers programs looking toward pro ' fessional competence m such fields as law, public administration, business welfare, and education. It offers integrated and related studies in the tive major disciplines economics, geography, history, political science, and sociology. The success ot the Social Science Department lies not only at MTSC, but throughout the whole area of Middle Tennessee. This utilization ot the de- partment ' s facilities and personnel is only one e.x- ample of the college ' s integration with this area. Dr. Parks and all the faculty of the Social Science Department are building a greater MTSC by en- abHng students to deal more effectively with the problems of their social environment.
