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.

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.

Voice Class Chamber Practice The Music Education Department is founded on the aesthetic basis of producing musicians and music educators to the best of its ability. In pursuance of its aims to present the best of music to its students, the Music Department is imbued with the principle of teaching varied music courses that tend to create fine musicianship. The department offers academic courses in harmony, ear training, and sJaht reading together with skill technics in voice and in all orchestral instruments. However, the department goes much further than merely facilitating efficiency in skill technics and academic music courses, for the historical development of the art is stressed.
