Psycho-Educational Bureau A teachers ' college, in addition to teaching the content of subjects, also teaches the students how to present this subject matter to others in a teaching situation. The Educa- tion Department through the so-called education courses furnishes the ground work for the professionalization of the content of other courses. Thus, the Education Department serves every other department except English, which also serves every student in the college. To put it in another way, the Education Department is expected to furnish the leaven for the professionalizing of the work of the college. It is the feature which distinguishes the teachers ' college from some other college. It touches every student in every depart- ment and thereby makes the college a professional school.

Business Education— Left to right: Clinton M. File, Ernest J. McLuckie, Florence C. Arntz, George G. Hill, Director of Department; Robert F. Webb, Ralph S. Rowland, Ethel L. Farrell, Albert E. Drumheller Entrance requirements are the same as for other departments of the college. Gradu- ates from the Department of Business Education may eventually find their places in positions of responsibility in the larger high schools. This suggests that only those who possess the ability, ambition, personality, and aptitudes reguisite for success in such professional work should apply for entrance to the Department of Business Education. In this department every reguirement is met as laid down by the State Department of Public Instruction for teaching in the high schools of the Commonwealth. Upon graduation a fully accredited degree recognized by leading universities is granted. Typing Class J. C. C. Campaign 21

English — Seated: Ruth Knowles, Came Belle Parks Norton, Acting Head of Department; Reba N. Perkins, Edna Lee Sprowls Standing: Louise A. Macdonald, Helen F. Egleston, Carleton C. Jones The English Department, which serves the entire college and trains teachers for junior- senior high schools, provides a rich program beyond the classroom as well as in the various courses. The department sponsors appropriate English activities through which students learn the craft of journalistic work on the Oak and the Penn, some achieving election to Alpha Phi Gamma. Students participate in choral speaking, and a few share literary experiences in the American College Quill Club. Like all other organizations sponsored by English teachers, the Leonard Literary Society and its dramatic performances include all students; this year, however, one play selected its cast from students specializing in English. The establishment of English reguirements preliminary to student teaching is a professional gain. With these restrictions all graduates will be better prepared in English.
