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.

4 . 3, IE? 7:7 : 1-51 4, s 7 r.- I; Q 1 i i M; Commerce ALTHOUGH Department of Commerce stu- dents have to go farther to their class- rooms than students in any other department, the number of commerce majors is rapidly in- creasing. Distance and exactness of require- mentsaand the department is known for the quantity of work required-have not thwarted the ambition of commerce students. Under the jurisdiction of Professor Young SHEPHERD YOUNG Head of Commerce Department and Professor of Cmnmercial Subjects the book store is an integral part of the depart- ment. Hundreds of dollars are saved students each year by the bookstore, as a result of dis- counts on text books. Service of many kinds is offered by the store, and it is this satisfactory service which has been responsible for increasing the volume of business which it does annually. I ndustrial A'rts MANUAL arts courses covering such a wide range as mechanical draw- ing, moulding, and printing are Offered in the Vocational building, which houses the Department of Industrial Arts. Equipment is these branches is as excellent as that of the Department of Home Economics which also occupies space in this building. Introduction of the course in printing was the most progressive step taken by the department during the year. The printing press was installed early in the year, and editions of the school paper were run off on it. Linotype machines were added later, and instruction in printing is given by J. C. Tran- barger. Job work of various kinds is also done by the department, which has been well patron- ized by organizations in the institution as well as outside customers. Another addition to the faculty was that Of George K. XVells, professor of industrial arts, who succeeded Denman Kelley, resigned. Graduates of Normal With degrees in indus- trial arts have little difficulty in finding ex- cellent positions. This speaks well for the work of the department.
