The responsibilities of modern education make mastery of subject matter not in it- self sufficient.tOur graduates must have, in addition, a thorough background in edu- cational philosophy and methods. With these needs in mind, the Education Department attempts to equip future teachers with the tools of their trade. EDUCATION. First row: Dr. Fink. Dr. Beatty. Mr. Weiss. Second row: Dr. Howard.

ART EDUCATION FACULTY From Rembrandt to Picasso—so run the tastes of the Art Department, under the direction of Dr. Italo de Francesco. Their influence appears through- out the college, from the students’ work in the concourse and cafeteria tq the displays in the Sharadin Studio. Two additions to the department this year were Mrs. Rosemarie Sloat. serving during the absence of Dr. Elizabeth Hurwitz, and Mr. John Grossman, formerly art supervisor for the Bethlehem public schools. LABORATORY SCHOOL FACULTY The laboratory school is the teachers college's main source of practical observation and applica- tion of teaching methods. The specialized faculty is a group of teachers who are qualified to instruct college students in teaching techniques as well as to conduct regular elementary school classes. We expect that the examples of good teaching observed and the opportunity of working with these experienced educators will help our students to rank among tomorrow's better teachers. 10 LABORATORY SCHOOL.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE. Dr. Horn. FOREIGN LANGUAGE FACULTY Parlez-vous francais! Si. Si! Both elementary and advanced French and Span- ish are offered by the Language Department under Dr. Grace Hesse. Language and grammar are em- phasized. but a study of the history and literature of each country is an integral part of the program. Dr. Hesse also supervises the foreign language pro- gram in the elementary school on campus where written and oral Spanish are taught to all grades by the advanced Spanish students. GEOGRAPHY FACULTY Don't become alarmed if you hear students talk- ing in what seems to be a secret code. They are only discussing climatic stations—one of the many facets of environment studied in various geography classes. The Geography Department develops in students an awareness of the physical features of our solar system and of the relation between it and the patterns of life on this crowded planet. Each Kutztown student spends many hours with the pro- fessors of this department learning to distinguish causes and effects in his natural and man-made environment. 12 GEOGRAPHY. Mr. Slick. Dr. Moyer.
