The high standing of Central and the improvements in the system here are results of his work. The President's Slogan: Asquiscence to Authority, Obedience to law, Respect for others, Mastery of self, and Joy in service should be the slogan of every school and College in the United States. For his active part in the success of this College we thank President Mitchell and sincere- ly hope the same administration and good work may continue. eocwee ec e « a 5- Co i ee

Sa BLTHE 1926 BRONZE BOOK |F — Heads of The Departments TRAINING SCHOOL The home of the Training School is historic “Old North Hall”. Here is furnished a typical erade and high school situation, where demonstra- tion work and practice teaching are carried on. The aim is to set a high standard of attainmeni for the pupils; and to arouse an attitude of alert- ness, interest and enthusiasm on the part of the teachers in training. The Training School also serves as a labor- atory for the department of Education. Classes in educational measures, methods and applied psychology make use of the rooms for studying ) educational problems in the concrete. j Central is looking forward to a much needed expansion of the Training School, which will be i possible with the completion of new class-rooms in the Administration building and the transfer of college classes from Old North Hall to these rooms.

Believing that the history of past civilizations is of value to the student of the present, the instructors in this Department feel that a good foundation for fu- ture study and practical application should be made. We desire to make history and government real, to instill into students the fundamental principles underlying the social and economic problems which they must teach and will meet in every day life. Besides the required courses offered, many new electives are added each term. Some re- search work is done and current topics are stress- ed. We have a museum which contains many rare and valuable bits of material and information which could not be found elsewhere. Much stress is placed on United States government and Oklahoma government, since the students of to- day are the citizens of tomorrow. Photo by Watton A. Emma Estill, A. B. M. A. twenty-six
