Education Every student at BluomsLuig receives broad train- ing in fields other than the one in which he is enrolled. To broaden his cultural background and expand his fundamental attitudes, courses in orientation, guid- ance, psychology, philosophy, and teaching techniques are retjuired for graduation. So that the student niav gain practical experience before he goes out into the teaching profession, actual school situations are brought before him. This tends to furliier develop ability, poise, and confidence — attrib- utes so necessary to the successful teacher. Mr. Bailer of the Teacher Training Department heads a placement service which has built up an enviable record in securing desirable positions for Bloomsburg graduates. 14
