Language NE of the tragedies of the Normal School is that the Department Of Foreign Lan- guages is unable to offer instruction in all the languages for which its members are prepared. Owing to the fact that the state is over-supplied with language teachers trained in other insti- tutions, Normal has ceased to teach anything but Latin and French. However, equally good instruction in German and Spanish could be given if conditions warranted. Perhaps some clay these additional languages will be offered qumcx H. WENG to stu'dents who want to studythem but are not Head of Foreign Lanyuaym plannlng to teach them. Thls would enlarge Effigy?Tanjijff,,efriif3w$3:5; the scope of the department as well as afford of Men students an opportunity which many of. them would like to take advantage of. Until this happens the department is training teachers of Latin and French, and giving a wide acquaintance of classical'literature in these languages. M athematics NE never thinks of the Department of Mathematics without thinking of registration day, for Prof. Frank R. Higgins is known to hundreds of students who are not mathematics majors as a result of this hrst day acquaintance with him. Since mathematics is the most exact science, it is well that someone connected with this department he in charge of registration day activities. The three members of this department are as systematic as the science which they teach is exact. Social Studies DDITION of one member to the staff of the Department of History and Economics marked the growth of this department during the year. Distinction came to it also when Dean Bogardus' new text book came from the press during the winter and won favorable comment and criticism. The department of social studies at Normal a presents teachers of the most varied types, but Dean Bogardus' experiemes, Professor Malanls philosophy of life and faith in democracy and Professor Roll's storehouse of facts all have a Vital and important place in preparing teach- CFS Of the social studies. FRANK SMITH BOGARDUS In the winter term Prof. Dewey V. Annikin, fwd of History and ECO- . omws Depmtment, Dean of a former summer term 1nstructor, returned as the Eaculty and Profmpr assistant professor of history. 0f Hmow Md Ewmmm Twenty-Four

15 l H mm Economics NO more complete training in the field of home economics could be given than that ; which is offered in the Normal School. Regular courses in domestic science and art, cafeteria management, and practical experience in house- hold management at the practice house ht ithome ecL' majors for any duties which they might possibly be called upon to perform. The comparatively new Vocational Building, fitted with up-to-date equipment, combined with the IVAH M. RHYAN cafeteria and practice house on the campus are mad of Home Economics . . .

Less than two years ago Professor Turman ex- hibited his pictures publicly for the first time, and the institution shared with him the pleas- ure he received at the splendid receptions ac- corded his paintings. While Professor Tur- manis speciality may be painting beeches there is a decided variety in his work. During the year Professor Turman was as- sisted in his department by Miss Viola Waller WILLIAM THOMAS TURMAN , , Head of Art Department and 1n the absence of MISS Ethel Bray, who was t memar of A7 away on leave of absence. Music NE of the rapidly growing departments is the Music department. This is evidenced by the increasing number of music majors, and increased interest in musical organizations. Pre- sentation of Handels Messiahi, at Christmas I by a chorus of sixty voices accompanied by the ? 4 W ;'W 315:5 J i ,erx saw w ya i . 7 i school orchestra was one of the high marks v, i . . gm of the musmal season at Normal.
