PRflCTice TencHinG ' ' T r. DeBoer practically m t speaks Latin (an adul- teration, perhaps, of Botany B), and knows Hebrew so well they fortified him with a new staff, like Moses, and set him forth to quicken rocks. It was difficult, but he had an ex- cellent new staff, and soon from the heads of practice students flowed progressive, democratic techniques. No longer will prac- tice sessions consist virtually of a priori musings or unchecked autopsies. The afternoon sem- inars, held bi-weekly, are scien- tific matters, affording continu- ous aid during the period fledg- ling teachers are trying their wings. John DeBoer. Ph.D. Raymond Cook. A.M.

' T ext the science depart- J J menti We have al- - ready kept watch upon the comings in and goings out of that fellow with the com- fortable air and the Caesarian flavor in his Latin, one hour a day for a semester, and he kept disastrous account of ours. He ' s not doing badly now — four notable additions to his person- nel, equipment well augmented, chosen to develop in general science one of the two aca- demic majors offered students who enrolled under the three year plan. That local flora course is mighty good for the students — like spring tonic and winter underwear.

Dr. Kopel, with Dr. DeBoer, will be superintending a study of the problems of underpriv- ileged children by a group of C. G. practice students. This enterprise marks one phase of the preparation of masters ' theses and the first student con- ducted experiment of any magnitude. This division ' s magnum opus is the freshman course. Home and Com- munity. Nearly the entire staff cooperated in the experiment whose product was, according to one woman student, more an experience than a course. Students have given It credit for bringing recognition to and introducing them to community leaders, and for developing a consciousness of the whole child. Everyone but Dr. Branom, Mrs. Schacht, and Mr. Swear- ingen are newly minted mem- bers. It is from among these recent appointees that the ad- ministrators of the Community course were chosen, except for Mrs. Schacht, who is also on the staff.

A reshuffling of the cards renewed the vitality of this department too — students and teachers with eyes actually gleaming ponder the uncertainties of artistic quality. With additions to the staff came a small, refresh- ing stream of new methods and attitudes. Henry Geilen, M.A. Arturo Fallico, M.A. H: oward Morse, .B. Elmer Morrow, B.A. Alice Williams, M.A.
