311m? Aria MASON TILSOX Professor of Music Franklin Collegelndianapolis College of Music. Private instruction from Carl Schnei- der, F. X. Arnes, and W. H, Poutins. EX- perience in Westfield College, and as super- visor of music at Lebanon and Connersville, Indiana. Indiana State Normal since 1915. LOWELL Wenmanahip anh Emming The catalogues of the school show that these subjects were taught in the HElementary Courseii by Amanda P. Funelle until 1879-80, when S. S. Parr became head of the department of Geography and Drawing. Previous to that, at times, Writing alternated with Orthography, and Drawing alternated with Instructions on Morals. In 1880-81, George W. Thompson became head of the department of Penmanship, and Prof. Parr was head of Latin and Drawing. In that year an extensive description of all courses of the school appeared and gave an in- sight into the matter and aims. In 1881-82 Prof. Thompson became head of the department of Penmanship and Drawing and was assisted, during the spring terms of 1892-93-94, by Elias E. Vance. Wm. T. Turman was elected head of the de- partment in June 1894, and has been assisted by Elmer E. Eppereon, of Haubstadt, Mary F. Overbeek, of Cambridge City, Ind., Orelle Fid- lar and Esther Newton of this city, and Gladys Davies, of Brazil. The courses in Drawing have been extended from three to eleven, and have been modified to meet the changed conditions that arise, but withal, downright accurate hard work at repre- sentation in any medium is considered to be the, essential aim. Epparimmt nf mum: William H. Paige was the first instructor in vocal music in Indiana State Normal at its opening in 1870. His successors were as fol- lows: Michael Deiler in 1873-74; Robert Brown in 1874-75; Anthon Shide in 1880-81; Mrs. Car- rie B. Adams in 1887; Beatrice O. Sanders in 1895-96; Lella A. Parr in 1900; Laura Minturn, who is now Mrs. Clippinger, in 1909-10, and Gladys Botsford in 1912-13. In the fall of 1915, Prof. Lowell M. Tilson came to take charge of the department. The department has had a very interesting development from the most elementary phases into one Of well rounded proportions. The major effort, at present, is the training of su- pervisors of Music, while the minor effort is the preparing of the grade teacher for musical lines of work in the schoolroom. A four year supervisory course is offered, leading to the A. B. degree. This has been maintained since 1916. A two-year supervisors course in Public School Music, leading to a Life State License, was offered for the first time in 1919. In connection with this department an orches- tra, a Chorus, a Glee Club, and other musical organizations have been maintained, much to the enjoyment and benefit of the entire school.
