lHEHllY Since the days when the three Rls constituted the curriculum of the teacher, other letters of the alphabet have made equally good. The teach- er's work, ever enlarging, now in- cludes within its scope the teaching of certain principles and the stressing of certain factors that hitherto have been lacking. No more do the con- jugation of verbs and the ciphering of arithmetical conundrums serve as the prime means to success, and the faculty of S.T.C. have recognized this. Already faced with the dozen duties of a college instructor, they have added numerous tasks to their classroom work until now they have a veritable baker's dozen of duties to attend to regularly. True examples convince the dubious, and Professor james W. Shannon can be rightly cited as a true example. VELMA ADAMSON, AM. I mzrzfcfor in Englirh B. B. BASSETI, PHD.

To Dr. Taylor and Miss Iva Marie Ray goes the task of keeping the students in the 'lpink of condition. In addition to this all freshmen are given a complete exami- nation when they enter in the fall. PHYSIEIHN HHHHHY To Miss Grace Palmer goes the credit of making our library one of the finest in the state. Our library has accumulated over Hfty thousand volumes in the thirty-four years it has been estab- lished. This year the library was fortunate in being able to buy twice as many books, for their appropriation was raised from 555,000 to 310,000 This year, also, plans have been drawn up for a new three- story library building to be placed just north of the Academic Hall between the Science and Health and Recreation Build- ings. If the plan goes through, it will mean the fulfilment of a desire long realized by both students and faculty members alike. GRACE PALMER, BLS.

Qs It Professor Shannon is head of the History Department, but he does not limit his activities to that work, for he also takes part in civic affairs. He has been chosen Rotarian of the Year by Springfield Rotarians and is their candidate for district governor. He is a member of the Boy Scout Council, the Springfield Public Library Board, and the Community Chest. Students find him easy to talk to and earnestly interested in their problems. Professor Shannon probably dislikes being termed an example, even a good example, but he is one among many at S.T.C. Such a person brings more to the students in his classroom than systematized data. He puts spirit into every action, every association, a spirit of teacher- student friendship rather than the strained relationship of years ago school days. ANNA Lou BLAIR, HOWARD H. BLAIR, AM. F. W.
