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.

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.

The 'Sl for spirit is one letter among many that has come into its own, and to impress the fact that emphasizing alphabet letters does not go out with primary school days, consider 'I' for interest, 'C' for cooperation, 'El for earnest- ness and 'P' for personality. All these factors are interwoven into teaching as tightly as the warp and woof of the best fabrics. Each teacher at S.T.C. is equipped with these tools, the best available, to mould and improve the material that presents itself each term at S.T.C. Increasing enrollments are further indication that the faculty are striving to prepare the young people of today to help solve the problems of tomorrow. W. V. CHEEK, PHD. j. H. COLLINS, M.P.E.
