The Teachers’ College TUB Teachers’ College of State University has been established 'primarily for the pur| osc of providing ade- quate’preparation for the train- ing of teachers in the county high school, and to furnish to intending candidates for auper- in tendencies and priiieipalships throughout the State such a comprehensive view of the his- tory and principles of education and of educational administra- tion as will enable them to appreciate and embody in their practical experience the most modern and valuable ideals of the teaching profession. Co-operating, as this depart- ment is able to. with the other schools of the University it is enabled to offer, in addition to'the twenty |M intsof strictly professional study, exceptional oppor- tunities to all students desiring to specialize in the work of prepa- ration for teaching drawing, manual training, physical education and domestic science. In this latter field a peculiarly fortunutc circum- stance permits of extensive specialization and opens to all who desire the attractive and essential details connected with the study of home economies. Candidates for the B. S. in Education are permitted to so arrange their electiveeoursesns to give them a solid foundation forsub- sequent teaching in this im| ortnnt department of educational activity. Through the courtesy of the Superintendent of Schools the City of iA-xington and Louisville, students in the Teachers’ College are permitted to use the high schools of these cities as schools of obser- vation. This phase of the work is ojk-ii to all seniors and graduate students and is conducted in connection with the Seminary in wliieh current educational problems form the topic of weekly discussion. A letter received from the Secretary of Teachers' College. Col- umbia University, slating that hereafter all graduates of the Teachers’ College in the State University of Kentucky will lie eligible to enter the graduate department of the institution in New York and enroll as candidates for the A. M. degree without conditions, is a source of great satisfaction to all friends of the State University, and is hound to prove a stimulus to more thorough preparation on the part .of high school teachers in the Commonwealth. The fact shows that whatever aspirations our educational leaders may have had in the past to build a first-class State Univer- ity in Lexington as the crown of the State system of education, the thoroughness with which they did the work entrusted to them has enabled the lenders of educative thought and administration in the leading institution in the country to accept the records presented for their inspection, and grade the course now In-ing offered to our students in such a manner as to place it on a parity with that given anywhere in the country. es m 9
