ratfc aa ai JOHN C. SWENSON. M. A.. Professor of Economics and Sociology Acting Dean of the College of Education College of Education THE rapid growth of education in tlie Inter-mountain states, and the movement toward higher teaching standards, have created a pressing demand for greater facilities for advanced professional training in this region. hile the Brigham oung I niversity has always enjoyed an enviable reputa- tion for turning out well prepared public spirited teachers, because of the importance of the teaching profession among tlie Latter-day Saints, there has been a feeling that the Church should establish a College of Education where all phases of pro- fessional work from elementary school training, to the training for finished super- intendents of graduate rank could be given. Incident to the recent reorganization of the University such a policy was adopted. The College of Education is now organized with seven departments: Educational Sociology, Elementary Teaching. Philosophy of Education. Psychology, Secondary Training, School of Administration and Supervision, and Vocational Education. The close cooperation existing between the College of Education and the other colleges of the University makes it possible for one desiring to enter High School teaching to register in the College of Education and take his teaching major in any department of the other colleges and at the same time receive the verv best pro- fessional training. Those desiring to prepare for principals, supervisors, or su- perintendents will be able to major in the various departments of tlie other colleges. The training schools, both elementary and secondary, are being organized with expert teachers and supervisors. The large building formerly known as the High School Building has recently been designated as the Education Building. This action of the Board of Trustees creates a real home for the College of Education.
