Clyde Adams The Triple R Club, composed of members of the Teacher Training UIBSSGS, was organized in the fall of 1926. Aside from our regular class work which consists of co-urses in reviews of common school subjects, psychology, Sanitation and School Room Decor- ation, Rural School Management and Methods, we have carried out a num- ber of Worthwhile projects. Chief among these were a moving picture snow illustrating Ruskin's King of the Golden River , individual child study scrap books, and sand table projects. Committees were appointed to serve one Week to lead opening exer- cises each morning and, as nearly as possible, We have tried to conduct our activities in such a Way that they will best fit us for work in the rural schools in which we hope to teach. Each month we have pla.nned room decorations appropriate to the season and this year We have added a num- ber of large potted plants to help to enhance the beauty of our room. We have tried to keep in touch with former Teacher Training grad- uates by sending them copies of our monthly club paper, The Triple R Tatler and a number of suggestions for methods and patterns. We also nave assisted in conducting a rural milk survey and intelligence and achievement tests in several rural schools. Late in October the club gave a tea for the grade teachers, both of the Emerson and of the Irving Schools, in token of our appreciation of their cooperation each time that we have asked their aid. In December the Seniors entertained the individual children whom the-y studied, and also the mothers of these children at an afternoon party in the Teacher Training Room. We have had a number of other social times at the homes of the club members. We have tried to arrange our class room Work and outside activities so that we will receive a full, Well-rounded development for the profession which we hope to enter. FLORENCE SHEETS. -Area'-I
