MATHEMATICS John A. Kelly William J. Coyne Margins for error are taboo in the Mathematics Department. Freshmen are ini- tiated into the most exact of sciences through introductory content courses. The im- portant methods that give the best results are presented in the methods courses. These techniques have been practiced by experienced teachers. For students who care to specialize, courses are provided to enable them to start graduate study after they receive their degree from the college. PSYCHOLOGY f ll 1 Clarence W. Gifford Sol R. Eilert When not acting as technical advisors to such psychological movies as the Web , Spellbound , and A Double Life , the Psychology Department, through its varied courses, attempts to orient the students, first, to college, and then to the world. The Mr. Anthony ' s of the college, the faculty members of the department like to dis- cuss the student ' s problems and help them to find the solutions. Two sides of the ques- tion are kept in view as the student learns of the social development of the child in a school situation.

SOCIAL SCIENCE William L. Kaiser Henrietta H. Fernitz Harry J. Osterhart The bright lights of the Social Science Department ' s bulletin board attract many students, who pause between classes to catch up on the latest world news and glean bits of information about people in other lands . New seasons and holidays bring forth new decorations. During Pan- American week the board breaks fort h in a rash of Latin color, huge sombreros, and displays of South American products. In conjunction with this display the Social Science Department holds an annual Pan-American assembly featuring songs, dances, and literature typical of our Good Neighbors. Through field trips, movies, and discussion groups the Social Science Department strives to give the students a true picture of present day society.

HOME ECONOMICS Mary E. Freeman When you see someone counting his or her calories, and by-passing a coke for a bottle of milk you know that that student has had the required course in nutrition given by the Home Economics Department. When you see someone reading a book on baby care you know that that student is taking the required course in Family Life. Chicago Teachers College has the distinction of being one of the first colleges in the country to put these courses into the curriculum for all students. In addition to these valuable courses the Home Economics Department also gives spe- cial training in food, clothing, and home furnishings to students who are preparing to teach home mechanics in the elementary school. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Elmer A. Morrow Clarence O. Biddle A peek into the window of room 206 will give an idea of what is going on in the Indus- trial Arts Department. The attractive display of craft projects shows what comes of all the hammering, cutting, and molding in the room beyond. The Department co- operates in the preparation of Home Mechanics teachers for the elementary school, conducts evening classes in adult education, summer courses for assigned teachers, and a survey course in crafts for all students at the college.
