COUNTY NORMAL During the first semester, the County Normals were concerned with learning techniques and problems of teaching. Observing classes was also an ‘essential part of the program and much was gained by watching children in the actual process of learning. Making charts and flash cards, and completing various types of art work such as cards and cover design, were other important phases of work.

Still other activities enjoyed by the students were folk dances ‘and games they learned, which will supply recreation for their own students next fall. The ‘second semester saw actual practice teaching begun, and even though the student teachers felt anything but poised and confident on their first day of teaching, they soon became capable teachers, gaining the ability to handle some difficult situations. Because of the large number of students classes were arranged in unusual places, and any time of morning found student teachers surrounded by their pupils in any part of the building.
