M . No Fighting Cavalier scene is thisi No quick, clashing lances strike our eari No gaily ribboned gallants prance 'roundf The scene is still save the rustling sound Of trees that by stately doorways stand And whisper of braver battles waged Than those by horses and lances fought- The Fight of youth for those glories sought And won from a dark world changed and crazed A chaos of right bleeding from wrong, Blended and dulled from an age-old pain The challenge to youth to lift again- And in these halls the secrets are stored, In the quiet ease of campus life, ln strong, calm strength of life which Flows Powerful, and surging, 'round these doors.

FACULTY Aerial View of the Campus. The collections of maps and various other desirable materials, for offering thoroughly up-to-date courses in geography are unusually extensive and complete. One of the many fine results of the practical courses in geography offered at Bowling Green is the very large number of geography students who become deeply interested in travel, and thus continue later the training and observations started in the classroom. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT The medical department is one of the greatest prides on this campus. This well- organized department is under the efficient guidance of Dr. Todd and her assistant, Miss Stevenson, nurse. Both of these very capable friends assist us in many ways. Scarcely a day asses without a large number of visitors carling-football players with wrenched ankles-baseball men with dis: located shoulders, members of the girls 25 hockey team with skinned knees and archery girls with bruised arms. But Dr. Todd and Miss Stevenson are never too busy to aid, even in the most minute detail. We are always welcome to come to tell of all our aches and pains and receive aid, consolation, or a smile and a pat on the back . But the medical department needs aid from other sources. Part of this is received under the expert uidance of Miss Shaw and Miss l-lartman, 0? the Physical Education division. lt is the duty of these two, to keep our girls full of vim, vigor, and vitality! A great deal of time is spent by the stu- dents in physical activities. The students have the privilege of obtaining more credit for services which they render such as the May-Day Celebration, which takes place about the sixteenth of May. Advanced teaching of some of the sports such as soccer, baseball, and archery is offered to those who wish to participate, and the beginners, who so desire, may be initiated into the mysteries of these games.

FACULTY The Training School is organized and operated to serve a large number of students in the College of Education in a variety of ways. Its primary functions are pretty clearly indicated by its title. Its aim in the first place is to be a good school for the pupils who are enrolled in it. ln common with all other units of the complex public school organization the Training School must directly or indirectly contribute to the better education of children. For students undertakes to render a number of services. In the First place it is a laboratory in which the art of teaching is demonstrated. College classes in a number of professional courses make systematic observations of teaching procedures in the various grades as a requirement of the course. The purpose of the demonstration teaching is not to maintain a specially devised educational show for public exhibition but to operate a working model of a prac- tical public school. The school also offers students o portunities for testing their natural aptitude for working with chlildren. Students often Find themselves better suited to teaching either older or younger children than those whom they thought they preferred before having any direct experience. Some students in fact find them- selves unsuited to the requirements of teaching while many gain from their experience in ractice teaching a professional enthus- iasm which far exceeds their expectations. Another service of the Training School is to provide oppor- tunity to learn under close supervision many skills which by the unguided process of trial and error would be learned only at a very costly price to the professional spirit of the teacher and at an even greater cost to the efficiency of learning on the part of the pupils. There are many definitely learnable skills and abilities in teaching in spite of whatever credence may be placed in the statement that teachers are born, not made. The practice teaching is conducted with a view of promoting the learning of such skills and abilities. ln addition to providing opportunities for practice teaching to students in elementary education, the Training School offers facilities for practical experience to many students who specialize in particular fields such as physical education and music. Students majoring in physical education, both men and women, carry on a daily program of training in their field with the children of the Training School. They also conduct special features of play such as Saturday mornin hikes and after school games and contests. Students speciaTizing in music find in the Training School extensive opportunity for teaching the regular daily program in singing and for special programs in appreciation and in other phases of instruction in music. During the past year a special class in instruments has developed into a beginning band of fifteen pieces. Since all members of the band are now enrolled in the fourth and fifth grades, it is expected that in the course of one or two years the Training School will have a boys' and girls' band whic will be a source of pride not only to the Training School but to the Music Department as well. Finally ma be mentioned the earnest attempt on the part of the Training School staff to maintain a forward-looking position in the selection and organization of materials of instruction and in applying the science of education to procedures in teaching. The Training School then may be thought of as a unit of the College of Education closely integrated with a number of its functions. lt is the hope of the Training School staff that all students who come into direct contact with its operations in any way may gain from that experience a clearer insight into the nature of educational processes, some definite impetus toward maturing a fine skill in teaching, and an enduring enthusiasm for rendering the highest possible type of educational service to the children of Ohio. The teachers of the Training School also hope that experience in their department may have contributed in some measure to the loyalty which graduates feel for their college. DR.
