They teach the Academic subjects under the supervision of Mr. Sullivan. Their work has proved of a very high order. They have had at least sixten hours of college work in history and they have selected history as their major. Two purposes are served by this methodg it makes it possible to offer more history, thereby ac- ' . commodating a larger number of stu- dents and italso gives the assistants teaching experience in the subject they expect to teach in the high schools. Miss Shively and Mr, Welty have handled the J r son the Academic American History. - Because of the above plan of usi been posible for Mr. Sullivan to offer two ne college, namely, Methods in the Teaching of the Social Sciencesg and Government Institutions and Parties. The course in Methods is designated for those who ex- pect to teach the Social Sciences and especially for those doing their major work in history. The enrollment in these courses has been necessarily small as they are advanced courses and designatedfo-r upper classmen Th d . e epartment has enrolled 347 students during the year. A One of the special features of the department work has been that of making special trips visiting the historical places in the vicinity of Hays. lt was the prac- tice for some 27 members of the department to hire the Normal bus and spend the afternoon accompanied by Mr. Sullivan who gave lectures concerning the his- toric places visited. Notes were taken by the students and papers were written concerning the facts gathered on the trip. These historic trips were very benefi- cial to all who participated in them. The department has also collected a large amount f 2, o museum material and notes on Wfestern Kansas. XVARIJ XM SULLIVAN, A.B., A.M.

Organization -'ai' 5f1.?s3,- A13-.T . , L has already been com- pleted and over 100 stu- dents are now enrolled in the various courses. I Majors as Well as minors are offered in order that the prospective teachers may the more fully specialize themselves in vari- ous phases of rural life and industry. VVestern Kansas is purely a rural re- gion. There is not a single city in the entire r area of forty thousand square miles. So far as at present known there is nolarge ex- tent of mineral vvealth upon which manu- facturing industries can ever be built. For this reason urban life can never flourish. All the people at present get their living either directly or almost directly from the farm. They are concerned first and last with those problems arising out of the activities of the small village and the open country. The bulk of teachers trained at the Fort Hays Kansas Normal School must look forvvard to filling vacancies in rural schools. Their real and lasting success in their calling will depend upon how efficient they may be in helping the farmer and the small village merchant solve his pressing social and economic problems. y This department proceeds upon the assumption that it is the business of every man or Woman to be a useful citizen in the community in which he or she may happen to be located. After that, he may earn his living through the medium of such occupations as teaching school, selling dry goods, managing an agricultural plant, or rendering aid to the afflicted. Callings are created by the public in order that it may be served and not for the purpose of insuring some candidate an income, The Work of this department touches very closely that of the departments of Agriculture, Home Economics, Sociology and History. The interest of the students enrolled has thus far been gratifying and the results achieved are vvell worth while. The outlook is all that could be desired. .x-.-4 A.. tc ,--,L 1,.:Q1,y1.r2 Tk' 1-avg v:::.mwas:e.k 'kfbiwh lXlILLARD CRANE, BS., MS.
