DOTSON Dean Mickey Mouse 103 and Sand Box 221X are joking- ly called the backbone of education courses. How- ever, the College attempts to train teachers to be qualified to teach students who are .iust out of the sand box, figuratively speaking, on up to any age. Using the most modern methods, the College assists the student in subjects he wishes to teach, develops a professional attitude toward education, and de- velops skill in the use of special methods in teaching and supervision. Founded in 1903, when Chancellor W. B. Hill organized the new departments of Philosophy and Education, the George Foster Peabody College of Education is an integral, part of the chain of schools and colleges comprising the University. Before graduation, the students are given an op- portunity to test their skill by a quarter of practice teaching in a Georgia secondary school. 26

2 2 = ? Athens, U. S. A. , a major fashion revue staged by the fashion promotion class of the retailing de- partment, was an example of the practical side of the College of Business Administration. It is in projects such as these that the students encounter and cope with the actual problems they would find in the business world. Many courses of this nature are included in the college curriculum, thus carrying out its purpose of providing a foundation of general culture, broadening the viewpoint, and developing sound thinking by use of theory and practice. The College of Business Administration was au- thorized in 1912 by the Board of Trustees as the School of Commerce. The curriculum is not re- stricted to purely economics and business courses, and upon completion of the four-year course, the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration is awarded. JAMES E.

Tobacco chewing and the tales of Paul Bunyan are not a part of the curriculum of the Forestry School, but the other aspects of forestry are included. Students get a chance to get mud on their boots and blisters on their hands while taking the theory and practice in the courses of the school. The forest properties owned by the University are under the management of the students. In 1906, George Foster Peabody endowed the newly-founded school for three years. In recognition, the school was named in his honor. However, in 1908, it was absorbed by the College of Agriculture, and only in 1935 was it re-established as a separate school. Now housed in a modern building of its own on Ag. Drive, which contains everything but the field facilities of the school, it sponsors the Forestry Field Day , for traditional sports of lumberjacks.
