Teaching is not as simple as it looks, the County Normal students have discovered after a year of prac-ice teaching. This year, however, County Normal students worked under a greater handicap than ever. lor the scarcity of teachers in rural schools forced the State to launch a program of manufacturing teachers in one year instead of two.

C.!” But suddenly it is time for midsemester marks, and all the freshmen quickly shrink in their own estimation and discover that they know very little of what is to be learned. Humble freshmen, they are, from henceforth, weighed down by all the burdens of the world and bearing, in their belief, more than any college freshman has ever borne before. This year, however, the freshmen have not long remained at the bot- tom, for with approximately sixty-five of them pitted against the fif- teen sophomores, they soon shouldered many extra-curricular respon- sibilities and carried out their duties like veteran college students.
