Department of General Education Mr. Gallagher demonstrates the solar system. Although most of the programs of study of- fered by the college are somewhat specialized, the importance of general education is fully recognized in curriculum planning. The general education courses are derived from four main areas: natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and communi- cation arts. These include studies in English com- position, English literature, world history, speech, and physical education, also included are introduc- tory courses in philosophy, psychology, sociology, biological science, physical science and music. Many of the education courses are offered in the first two years of college work, but some are trained through the last two years as well. The objectives of general education are Qlj to acquaint the student with the world around him, including sources of culture, important problems of today, and methods of seeking their solution, C25 to help the student acquire a Christian world view that encompasses and integrates all knowledge and ex- perience, CSD to prepare him for intelligent and sat- isfying living as an individual, in the home, and in societyg C45 to develop ability to express ideas clearly and effectively, CSQ to cultivate an appre- ciation of moral and aesthetic values: C65 to provide a sound basis for critical thinking and valid judg- ment, and, Q75 to help the student toward physical as well as mental well-being. General education courses are intended to ac- quaint the student with these important areas of knowledge, and to provide a foundation for any field of specialization which he may choose. Each subject is taught with the Christian interpretation, intending to give each student the understanding he needs. HARVEY L. MITCHELL, A.B., M.A. Registrar Spanish, Philosophy EUNI-CE J. CONRAD, A.

Education GLADYS SCH UMACHER, A.B., M.A. Education Dr. Byrne explains the Bible-centered educational system Engraved on the portal of an eastern college is the inscription, He who dares to teach must never cease to learn. Students at Fort Wayne Bible College are realizing the significance of this statement as they prepare for the challenging tasks of a teach- er. These students discover, as they study and prepare for their future work, the great opportunity there is for a Christian Witness in the field of teaching. The teach- er's creed, To help each child reach the highest possible degree of personal develop- ment, is becoming more vivid as college days whisk by. Much time is spent in study and preparation both in and out of the classroom. A- long with the educational courses, each student is required to carry 30 hours of Bible courses. The Bible is the center of the curriculum in the education department and fol- lowing the example of Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher, is the goal of the students. As the students prepare themselves for the work which lies ahead, they might sin- cerely pray: Lord if their guide I still must be, Oh let the little children see A teacher leaning hard on Thee.
