. f f WILLIAM ORVILLE ALLEN, A. M., S. T. B., PH. D. Professor of Education and Philosophy. RURY College is especially fortunate in having a man of such intellect and such ability as Dr. Allen, at the head of the Department of Psychology and Education. The aim of the department is to produce capable department rrp -v' teachers for high schools and academies, and the courses are planned with this in view. Students completing the required courses receive on graduation a State Cer- tificate, valid for three years, which can be made a Life Certificate at the end of that time. Under a law recently passed by the State Legislature, high schools must offer a course in pedagogy and teacher training for teachers of the rural schools. Drury will at once offer a course Which will prepare teachers for such positions in high schools. VVith this unusually strong department of Psychology and Education, Drury should be very attractive to those who are ambitious to become high school teachers. A STUDENT.
