Art Mr. Oenryc .]. Ki-llpr Art is recognized as another means of expression and it must be understood and utilized if one is to teach well and effectively. Students in both Elementary and Secondary cur- ricula are required to take courses in both art and art appreciation. In the Elementary field there are additional courses in the fundamental principles of art as applied in everyday living. Prof. George Keller includes in his courses challenging opportunities for students to work in drawing, lettering, poster making and creative art. All work has a sharp bent toward the utilization of art in the understanding of living, such as home planning and decoration. During the absence of Mr. Keller. Miss Bertha Rich has been teaching the courses in the art cur- riculum. Mu SIC Music is the inii ersal language. It is an excellent medium for understanding countries that seem far away and foreign. Miss Moore has presented a course in Music Appreciation to every Elemen- tary and Secondary student. This course acts as a basis for building further un- derstandings in the field of music. The Elementary people get additional training in teaching music, sight reading and conducting. In these courses music of other lands as well as American Mu- sic is studied and discussed. As a result, music training becomes a practical as well as a cultural subject. 24
