Division of Education- Psychology The Division of Education-Psychology seeks to give ad- equate training to students who will be teachers in the complex modern school. In its general courses, it aims to aid students in self-discovery and in self-adjustment; in its physical education courses, it strives to build in- dividual and group athletic skills. In addition to a semester ' s experience in the classrooms of local public schools, prospective teachers have the opportunity of teaching their classmates in simulated-age-group situa- tions. The divisional lecturer, Dr. Bealer Smotherman, demonstrated the uses of the audio-visuals available to contemporary educators. 24
