This is possible since training in this curriculum is a well balanced combina- tion of teaching theory and methods, and practical business knowledge and techniques. Under the direction of Mr. William C. Forney, the department trains teachers in Bookkeeping and Accounting, Business Writing, Business English, Commercial and Economic Geography, Commercial Law, Commercial Mathematics, Economics, Junior Business Training, Office Practice, Salesmanship, Shorthand, Typewriting, and Retail Sell- ing. Seniors in this curriculum attend classes one semester and do their student teaching during the other semester. Towns cooperating in teacher training in this field are Berwick, Bloomsburg, Danville, and Williamsport. 19

EDUCATION Students at B. S. T. C. .irc not trained solely in the fields they select. Through courses in orientation, guidance, psychology, philosophy, and teaching techniques, each curriculum is enriched to broaden the outlook and knowledge of the student. Such courses do not produce teachers by technical training, but rather by aiding in the formation of attitudes conducive to more enthusiastic instruction. Actual school situations are brought to the attention of the student who can then experience some of the problems of teachers. Student teaching affords opportunity for the learning of certain classroom tech- niques and procedures, and gives the student a better picture of the teaching profession. The Teacher Training Department also carries on a Placement Service in an effort to place graduates in desirable positions. .Seateil, I,eft to Ri -jit— Miss M.lv T. Ilavil. pi, .Mr. Earl X. Rlimles.
