BUREAU OF CHILD GUIDANCE EXTENSION The Bureau of Child Guid- ance is a service agency that was established on the campus in 1936. Its major function is to aid teacher-education. This is being accomplished through its psychological clin- icsg its staffings of individual casesg and through the several series of seminars where each class member does a complete case study, including a de- tailed diagnosis of the child which is followed by a thera- py. Many children are also brought from various com- munities in Southern Illinois to the college campus through the year for individual diag- nosis and treatment. The Illinois Institute for Juvenile Research also sends two of its staff members to work with the Bureau at the times of the quarterly clinics. Several other state agencies likewise cooperate in the study of various cases and partici- pate in other aspects of the teacher-education program. CAMPUS OFFICES For the past eight years, Dr. T. W. Abbott has been responsible for the large num- ber of extension courses of- fered to the people of this area. Even more courses are now being given in those areas in Southern Illinois where a number of students need to further their education and find it impossible to attend classes on the campus. It is hoped that this practice will continue to grow in post-war years as new classes are of- fered. ' Pug v 'l 2i'l'I11-I

PROFESSCRS ARE PECPLE A PROF AT REST This year the Obelisk has seen fit to choose as a representative de- partment, one of the most progressive divisions on our campus-SOUTH- ERN'S CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT. For fourteen years Drs. Neckers, Scott, Abbott, and Van Lente have worked together in mutual agreement, ignoring oiers to engage in professional chemical research to make this department one to turn out both good teachers and professional chemists. Recently it was reported that a chemistry manual Written by members of the department has gone into its second printing. This should demon- strate the growing importance of these men and their work.
