'Uni color and form relationships are the meat and drinlz of some seventy Hrt majors who carry on their studies in this department, preparing to go forth as Flrt teachers, illustrators, commercial artists, costume designers, interior decorators and other lilze contributors to the welfare of humanity. Filthough a large percentage of them marry and retire from vocational life the first year out of college, the fact remains that the sixty units of art offered in the Hrt Department constitute a sound basis of training in these various professional fields for those who have the ability, determination and industry to succeed in these difficult and demanding vocations. A A A A A Alexandra Bradshaw AThe main interest however which the Hrt Department possesses for the college as a whole is cultural rather than purely v0catiOnal.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA AA AAAAA A AA AThe department is prepared to offer the student four great experiences: A1. THE ETTRTCHTTTEDT OF VISION. no doubt everyone who reads this sees well enough to evade the hurt- ling automobiles which menace our studious way to the library. That is practical vision. A A A A A A A Amany, we trust, can distinguish visually the different taxonomic values of two organisms in a zoology test. That is scientific vision. Hnd there are other hinds. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AThe variety of vision in which the Hrt Department deals, we have the presumption to call Pure Vision. It applies to the infinite pleasure of seeing as distinguished from practical and scientific considerations. A A A A A A AQ.

Aibeftrz.L.,na 'H plan for the reorganization of courses in Education has been adopted whereby the professional training worlz of the student will be tied up more closely with the demonstration school and directed teaching. The observation and methods courses have been enlarged to include more of the subjects and the lzinds of worh the teacher will be expected to do. H large variety of subjects and grades are furnished the student during the period he does his practice- teaching whereby he may gain a varied and broad experience. The problems and techiniques of teaching courses are being changed to a conference and individual problem type of worh conducted by the supervisors with their own students along with the direct teaching. H course in the problems of classroom management will be required of all Junior High School and Special Secondary students. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AThe whole matter of professional requirements in the Department of Education is being based upon the needs of persons who are accepted for teacher training in the various fields,and the nature of the worh that is lihely to be demanded after graduation. It is believed that the average teacher will need to be adaptable to the general field of teaching rather than adapted to a specialized field. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A ABeginning this fall students wishing to become teachers must apply at the end of their Sophomore year for per- mission to pursue teacher training courses. FI plan is being inaugurated for a careful selection of candidates for teachingcredentials.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AH major in Education consists of twenty-four semester units of Upper Division worh, and a minor consists of twelveunitsofUpperDivision worh.AAAAAAA AA AA AAA A A A A A A A 1 A.
