Mr. George Hammond Huntting 'THE English Department represents three more or less distinct curricular activities. lts three divisions are that of Composition, of Literature, and of Speech Hrts. The first of these offers courses in elementary and advanced composition, journalism, and formal grammar. Subject H, not too fondly called Bonehead English , claims an unfortunate amount of the attention. The Division of Literature opens to the qualified student nearly thirty courses in the various phases of our native writings. Periods, single figures, type-groups comprise the subject matter of these courses. ln the third division there are three sections, one in oral expression, both for public and private uses, one in debating and a final in dramatics. The debating teams have won enviable reputations at home and elsewhere. The College Theatre provides a laboratory for educational dramatics. A A A A A A A A A A A A Ain the English Department there are fifty-four classes, in which there is a total of fourteen hundred and sixty students.

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.

THE Department of Foreign Languages at Fresno State College stands as a reminder of the truth that human achievement is broader than the English- speahing nations. l-le who really learns a new language, it has been said, acquires a new soul. H modern language mahes an ideal intellectual hobby, for you can- Guy B. Colburn not exhaust its resources. H national literature is a living growth, and if the student who has been introduced to it in college will continue his reading he will discover countless interesting stimulating ideas. A A A A A A A Allle believe that it is a mistalze for the student to get a smattering of many languages. Having selected one, or at the most two, he should plan to continue its study throughout two or more years of the college course. ln the lower division courses he has an opportunity to attain proficiency in the practical arts of reading, writing, and spealz- ing a foreign language. For this he needs a good memory, and above all the ability to be accurate in details. The upper-division courses provide surveys of literature, talzing up the foreign authors who, in the successive centuries, have made important contributions, and laying special emphasis on the great boobs of modern times. Sufficient worlz is offered in advanced courses, not only in literature but in composition and conversation, to enable those who select a major in this field to continue their worh in the graduate school of a university. A A A A A A A AHt present Fresno State is the only one of the teachers' colleges of California where courses are offered in Latin. we also have a class in Greelz and Roman Literature studied in English translation. This is valuable for general culture, and furnishes a baclzground for the understanding of many an allusion and echo in English literature. A Alhe students have organized a French Club, a German Club, and a Spanish Club. A A A A A A A A A Alt may be appropriate to call the attention of all students to some splendid foreign periodicals which the depart- ment provides for the general reading room of the library. For instance loolz through the colorful pages of some recent number of the lllustration, that comes to us direct from Paris. You will understand the pictures, getting a glimpse of public events, of sports, and of society and fashions over there.
