expert supervision. As in the case of the Normal school these college departments of educa- tion have proved their value and they have come to stay. They are supplying professionally trained men and women for the higher and more remunerative educational positions through- out the land. t-. tt- tt t. c In conformity with this national tendency the Brigham Young University has a protes- sional department. It has maintained, practically from its beginning, a normal school that has sent out hundreds of teachers professionally trained and imbued with the proper spirit of edu- cation. . , Recently there has been a very rapid growth of high schools in our Western communities. For teaching in these, and for the superintendencies and supervisorships in our growing city systems, the graduates of normal schools have not had adequate preparation. Hence the scarcity of teachers for these better positions is greatest. To meet this need and to prepare bright young men and women for these best positions in our schools the Teachers ' College has been established as a department of the Brigham Young University. The college offers four years of work in the usual arts and sciences to give the necessarily higher scholarship required for teaching in high schools. It offers courses also in psychology and education to give pros- pective teachers a professional attitude to their future work. It has connected with it an ele- mentary school and a high school in which the educative practices may be observed and edu- cational problems solved scientifically. Practical training in teaching in both elementary and high school classes will be given to college students in these schools under experienced teachers. The Teachers ' College has a bright future. History of educational progress demonstrates the fact that it has an assured field of permanent usefulness. It will draw its students from and help to supply teachers for the high schools just now so numerously springing up around us. As a department of the University it will share the support of a large and patriotic Alumni Association and it will partake of the good spirit so characteristic of the parent institution. It will soon move to its permanent location on the beautiful Temple Hill. There it will occupy as the first home of its future the Maeser Memorial Building, now nearing completion. Other buildings on the spacious campus are soon to follow. Best of all it has the support of the Church, rapidly growing and enthusiastic for a proper education. It is the official school of the Church for the preparation of teachers for the higher positions. Under these and other favoring circumstances the Teachers ' College looks forward to a bright future. With such support it hopes to meet the anticipations of its founders and justify its establishment. [18]

Church Teachers College and the Professional Training of Teachers HE idea of training teachers professionally for ttieir work is a modern one. It originated in Germany about tfie time of the Reformation. Luther and other educators began advocating the need of professional training, in addition to the ordinary scholastic learning, for the im- portant work of teaching. The idea soon found expression in the establishment of Normal schools where prospective teachers were taught not only what they were to teach but also how to teach it. In America this idea is not much over a century old. It began to be advocated here shortly after the American Revolution, and in the early part of last century it found concrete expression in the es- tablishment of private normal schools. When private adventure had proved the value of these institutions they began to be estab- lished by pubhc school systems of State and city. The idea of pro- fessional training given in Normal schools has proved its value; now practically all states and large cities thus train the teachers of the elementary schools. With the rapid multiplication of high schools in the United States in the latter part of the last century a new movement in the profes- sional training of teachers began. A great need of properly trained secondary or high school teachers was felt. To meet this need, college departments of education were established. The first of these was opened in the University of Michigan in 1879. Others followed in rapid succession. At the present time there are few if any colleges of prominence that have not added this new department. These college departments are of two kinds. Some give the professional studies of educa- tion and psychology in theory only, while others have connected with them elementary and secondary schools in which prospective teachers may receive actual practice in teaching under [17]
