K •4 ' l Education Jay D. Scnbner Dean. College of Education The big news of 1984-85 for the College of Educa- tion was the continued revision and review of the school ' s programs. All incoming students were advised to consult faculty members on their indi- vidual program. The College was founded in 1919 as a separate school within the university. Throughout the years, the school has developed a six part pro- gram to offer students the best possible educa- tion. This program includes imparting a thorough knowledge of subject matter, contributing to the development of scientific aspects of education, promoting improvement in the education field, evolving types of preparation, developing educa- tional personnel and discovering through research new knowledge in their field. The aim of most of the studetns is to gain state certification. Graduation from the college does not automatically grant endorsement for such certification. Students desiring certification must hold the appropriate degree and fulfill competency requirements, be recommended by the college and submit the required forms. The college ' s rec- ommendations are predicated upon the comple- tion of all requirements and on the fitness of the individual for the professional position. Another obstacle students who desire certifica- tion must overcome is the health standard. Such a standard is used to protect students from ill- ness and disease. Although standards may vary from state to state, as well as from school district to school district, the purpose remains the same: to safeguard the children. - Patrice M.

Horticulture And Landscape With the incorporation of the Department of Crim- inal Justice into the College of Arts and Sciences, Horticulture and Landscape Design is now the single independant department in the university. The beginnings of the department are traced to the Pennsylvan ia School of Horticulture for Wom- en, which began in 1910. The school merged with Temple University in 1958. Today, the campus at Ambler encompases 187 acres (several of them flower gardens), seven greenhouses, orchard, vegetable garden, nursery and more than 800 species and cultivars of trees and shrubs. Due to spacial reasons, the department offers courses only at the Ambler campus. The faculty consists of seven full-time members and 13 part- time instructiors. reers in the field of horticulture and lanscape design are expanding. This expansion is attributed to an increased social emphasis on beautifying surroundings and preserving and protecting the environment. Full and part-time faculty members and numerous students participated in the Fifth Annual Garden- er ' s Day at Ambler. This one day program of lectures, workshops and exhibits for the garden- ing public is held each spring. Again, the department was involved in the Phila- delphia Flower Show held a t the Civic Center March 2 through 10. The theme of the show was A Bit of Britain. Temple ' s exhibit was entitled Exbury. Almost one quarter of a million people attended the Flower Show and viewed Temple ' s exhibit. - Patrice M. Beahr According to Chairman George H. Manaker, ca- George H.
