Children in second grade ilcmonatratc their nhililies. Bccau.sc oi ' the inclcincnt wcuthcr, rcsult- in{ in colds, almost all of us have visited the Health Office. Here we find Miss Edmiston performing her duties as the College nurse and assisting the College physician, Dr. Mills. Tlircc times a day we students without much urging finil our way to the dining liail. The well-balanced and attractively served meals that we partake of there are a joy provided us by the college dietician, Miss Scylcr. I)ur attractive and well kr|)t nioms arc in tlic care of Mrs. McKiiuiey, our competent household director. Training School licfore being qualifierl to teach, the grad- uating sophomores and seniors in tlie elemen- tary held nnist do their student teaching in the Thaddeus Stevens Training School. Here llicy observe and b ' ach under the diicct Mipcr isi(in of tlic critic teachers. In the training school the cliijd finds liiniscH ' in an environment, I ' icli in many in- terests .and material whicii alToi ' d iiim an abuii(hii;ce of e(hicative activities, in tiiis picture we see a group of second grade boys actively engaged, following their interests in their study of boats. In the foreground we have an example of freedom of thought and activity. Each boy is i)rogressing at his own rate with the con- struction of his boat. Consequently, individual differences are provided for. At the right of the picture we see floor construction work, which gives the child freedom in working with large pieces of materials. In the back- ground we can see a completed boat in which the children enjoy taking a ride. The values of this and like projects are mmierous because situations arise which iiring about the need for arithmetical computations, proper manner of speech, and free use of language. The child- ren ' s own initiative is stimulated,and they may further their creative expression by dramatiz- ing suitable projects. The child is given much freedom in choos- ing an activity in which he is particularly interested and liy which he develops his thinking and creates new ideas. This picture is representative of tlie pro- gi ' essive type of work Ijcing cari ' icd on in the campiis tr.aining school.

Miss Hepler and Miss Walters supervise the first grade rooms. Miss Leifeste is the supervisor of the second grade. On the second floor in the Training School we find Miss Easley in charge of the third grade. Miss Gamble and Miss Mohney are in charge of the intermediate grades, Miss Gamble supervising the fourth and Miss Mohnej ' the fifth. From the neolithic age to the present day we follow the trends of civilization, being guided in our study by Dr. Heiges, who insists that we answer the questions asked and not ones of our own choosing. Miss Sims occupies her time with the combined duties of Latin professor and dean of women. Through her assiduous efforts the women ' s dormitory is a pleasant and home- like place in which to live. Little escapes her eye, and all retiring hours are kept with exactitude. Literature texts, college handbooks, work- books, themes, and numerous guide sheets all suggest the means by which Miss Nair and Miss Boyd would lead us to better apprecia- tion of literature and to more effective expres- sion. In addition to her regular duties as teacher, Miss Nau- is the facultj ' - adviser of the college publications, the Clarion Call and the Sequelle. Miss Boyd has directed a number of plaj s throughout the year; she is also the Panhellenic adviser. Illustrated perceptual devices, acute and obtuse angles, parallelograms, and manj- odd looking symbols decorate the blackboards in ] Ir. Carey ' s room. Here we learn everj-thing from simple computation through the develop- ment of that elusive binomial theorem. Among the many thousand volumes in our library you can find Miss Carlson busily engaged shelving the books, arranging the files, and checking magazines; making the room neat, orderly, and conducive to study. All persons going to the general office are first met bj ' Miss Armstrong, the gracious secretary to the President, who admits us to the president ' s office and, among her many duties, keeps our individual record sheets.
