Emporia State is one of the leading teacher education colleges in the nation. A good teachers college offers all that any good standard college offers, plus the highly specialized courses intended especially for prospective teachers. Special- ized teacher training at Emporia State includes all phases of education from kindergarten through distributive educa- tion and library education. The administration at E-State for many years has realized that a well-trained teacher must have interests other than just education. Students have ample opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. Some of these are connected with the students' majors interests, while others are entirely unrelated. From the social organizations to the intramurals, every program goes to help strengthen teacher education. Although the main function of the college is to train teachers , an excellent liberal arts program is offered for those who do not wish to teach. The wide offerings of the various departments of the college lead toward a Bachelor of Arts degree. Major emphasis may be in many fieldsg either for purely cultural development or for the degree re- quired for admission to a professional school. Excellent two- year pre-professional training courses are also offered. The purpose of this book is to furnish you a conducted tour through the college to demonstrate how each part of the program here at E-State relates to our major function, the better preparation of teachers.
