Perspective From F TA. An organization such as the Future Teachers Association did much to bridge the gap between the studentry and faculty By making students who hoped to teach aware of the responsi- bilities and rewards of the profession, each group came to appreciate the other's outlook a little more. The future in- structors were given an idea of the problems facing a teacher as they engaged in a variety of projects. Mrs. Gruber arranged for the group to attend lectures work on a social project, and finally to plan tutoring sessions at the Coolidge elementary school. All of these activities were of great value to the prospective teachers as they gained a bet- ter idea of the demands of teaching. Members of the F.T.A. found even more reason to acquaint them- selves with the library than did other organizations. ,,M..1. . gall-S-, - Mi
