LIBRflRV STAFF T-rew collegians are on record as willing fo accept in t toto the hours the Library keeps, its resources, its personnel, its regulations, or its location. Not much deterred, librarians work steadily to adjust the library ' s functions to the convenience of the majority of readers. Some noteworthy innovations have been the tempt- ingly organized section of educational periodicals, recall- ing reserve books at 9:15 for first period clients, and the vigilante service which has markedly decreased the num- ber of books accidentally carried off each month. m66T TH6 FflCULTV 4 ' mong other changes is this year ' s Emblem policy f y i o ' f honoring the prophets in our midst. PAST AND PRESENT: Dr. William Wat- tenberg captured earliest honors as managing editor of the Schools Journal, and chairman for that community course. Mrs. Nellie Cochran, elected head of the physi- cal education division, I. E. A., and Dr. John Johnson, who completed the Chicago Arithmetic Survey Test, kept the stream from the heights from drying. Said exam is unusual in that it is a survey and diagnostic instrument in one. Miss Louise Robinson, Mr. James I. Swearingen, and Miss Mary Freeman, In the hectic preparation for regis- tration, were made deans of the junior college, senior college, and college graduate groups respectively — the first academic deans the school has ever had. Mr. Lyie Wolf as president of the Chicago Division of the I. E. A. has been concerned with Springfield legislation for Chi- cago, particularly that of a financial nature; he is help- ing keep the stream from the Capital from drying. FUTURES: Most imminent: the last of Mr. W. Wil- bur Hatfield ' s series, CREATIVE ENGLISH, will be off the press this month. Recently become National Commit- tee Chairman of the Association for Childhood Educa- tion, Miss Ellen Olson will be circulating, on a nation-wide scale, reports of the best primary teaching practices. Dr. DeBoer is chairman of an interdepartmental committee of the N. E. A., which will develop an illus- trative curriculum to be used by local curriculum com- mittees as a source of suggestion in building an educa- tional program. Fifteen

PHVSICflL €DUCflTIOn yd last — a physical education t major; The development of a modern P. E. training curriculum was tully realized this term by the seven who sit in council in 106-A. The opportunity has attracted outstanding young women athletes and a number of muscular men who had vouchsafed the last of their en- ergies to securing such a course. New members of the council, ap- pointed off and on since September, are Miss Bernice Boye, Mrs. Kathar- ine Curtis, and Mr. George Boyle. Mrs. Curtis had trained the Wright Jr. College Water Ballet before her transfer, and is now teaching swim- ming here. Mr. Boyle is coaching several of the men ' s athletic teams, and diminutive Miss Boye drew mostly freshman gym. Home mecHflnics -w- y-ome mechanics curricula pro- j[ £ vide the foundation needed by students who will replace the manual training course, formerly in the elementary school, with prac- tical training in the common phases of industrial arts. This course was es- tablished in January, when Mr. Hew- itt was appointed to aid Mr. Henlce, and an entirely new laboratory was set up for students. An orange crate, the rock upon which the word of progressive edu- cation Is builded, was the inspiration of the semester ' s final product, a blue cretonne-draped vanity. Previ- ous efforts had resulted in rugs, cro- cheted; baskets, woven; and doll houses, designed for the go.od life. Home economics 4 Iss Teresa O ' Sullivan cheerfully undertook the a J ft fask of writing up the Home Economics course of study with the aid of Miss Free- man, chairman of this department. Miss O ' Sullivan has been cooperating In preparing students for participation in the school visiting program of the social studies com- munity course, by giving them a foundation in American nutrition. Miss Alexandrlna Moll guides the development of stitching and fashioning skills of the future Home Eco- nomics teachers.
