KAPPA DELTA HPSiLO.X, Xatu.nal umc-n s ilimurarv tducatiunal Fraternitv Dr. Frank G. Davis S tucatcoK As teacher training lias become an inc reasingly im- portant phase ot the American educational system, the preparation ot prospective teachers has received more emphasis at Bucknell. Originally, the Education Depart- ment was part of the Philosophy Department, and not until 1916 did it become a department in its supervisor. Dr. George B. Larson became the head of the Depart- ment upon Dr. Phillips ' death, and he was succeeded bv Dr. Frank G. Davis in 1924. As of September, 1949, the Education Department resumed its training of ele- mentary school teachers, a service which it had discon- tinued during the Second World War. The Department is one of the fixe Pennsvhania educational units ap- proved for the training of all types of school adminis- trators. In recent years, a prevalent topic of conversation at Bucknell has been m kids ' . These are the teachers- to-be, discussing their first pupils. For eight weeks, stu- dents who have completed the required courses in educa- tion isit schools in the surrounding district to teach un- der the guidance of already established teachers. Thus, in actual classrooms, they plan their first lessons, do their first reprimanding, and learn bv doing. Thev put into practice the theories thev were taught in their erst- while education courses. The enthusiastic commenda- tion of the practice-teachers themseKes attests to the value of practice teaching in the educational curriculum. Practice teaching is merely one of the modern educa- tional techniques emploxed b ' the Bucknell Department of Education. Supplementing the teacher training program, there are two professional fraternities sponsored b ' the Educa- tion Department, K.APPA PHI KAPPA for men and KAPPA DELTA EPSILOX for women. Through their manifold activities, these fraternities endeavor to enrich the education of prospective teachers. For the last twenty- five years, the Department has conducted a summer demonstration school, numerous conferences on educa- tional methods, and a guidance workshop.
