3 v Ziaume Economics The Home Economics department is one of the strong special de- partments of the school. It has for its head Miss Chloe Clarke, who holds her Ph. B- degree from Alfred university and was a student in the Household Arts department of Columbia university. Miss Clarke has proved herself to be not only an excellent teacher but also a jolly friend and companion who likes to enter into the interests and Sports of the girls who are always more than glad to have her with them, iIn Mliss Dorothy Ellis we have another friend and teacher who always looks on the sunny side and makes the class room, where she holds her sewing classes, a place of 1'eal attraction and enjoyment fill' her students. Her classes in dressmaking have been a boon to many girls, who, in a comparatively short time, have learned to make theit' own clothes, and hence we sec many lovely creations of strictly up-to-date models. VVhat could we do without Miss McCollister? lflcr waichword is duty. She goes quietly and serenely about her work but in her we may see the ability and force of one who is proficient in her work. To Miss McCollister and her girls we are indebted for the many delica- cies which help to make our social functions complete successes.

I I l I l Gengrapbp ant Physical intents JUW11 R'f'fD All who know Mr. Reed will admit that he does many things be- sides teaching geography and the elementary sciences. For instance he is a War specialist-knowing many obscure points and phases of the situation which less careful students of the battle lines completely overlook-and there is never a bit of current events, such as a murder. a marriage or a runaway, which escapes his eye. Indeed, any student must become informed, whether or no, if he enters one of Mr. Reeds classesg and is apt to come forth at the end of a quarter's work with the reading habit firmly ingrained in his nature. Mr. Reed not only talks about practical facts and methods but makes daily use of them, and encourages his student teachers to do so. Ili: splendid little book on the teaching of geography is a great aid in livening up a subject which. too often in the past has been a dry, dust and bones affair, painful but necessary. , Bacteriology and .flpplifd C!zc111z'st1'v. 90211125 Miss MrxRc.:tn21u'rlc G. TYLER V Uur present head of the Science department, Miss Marguerite Tyler, is a woman of great force and personality. Combined with these excellent qualifications for teaching, is a marked efficiency in the held of science. She is not a person who tolerates half-hearted, luke-'warm efforts in her students and for this reason her classes have always been places of inspiration and accomplishment. Another element in Miss Tyler's successful work in this school is the kindly personal interest which she takes in all her students, being always ready to sympathize with them in troubles and to he glad with them on the joyful days. The specialists in Home Economics do a very important part of their work with Miss Tyler in the subjects of Chemistry, Sanitation and Bacteriology. And so well has she succeeded with this work in the past that some of her students are doing important work in hos- pitals along these special lines.

-1 . 'J --- - -t J K Music Bepartment In this busy practical world -of ours, we are prone to neglect the spiritual and aesthetic in our education- Surely this is to be regretted. We, as students, are preparing for a work that is to aid in the Uplift- ing of humanity. Can such a preparation be thorough if it deadens the finer sensibilities of our natures, sensibilities which, if properly developed, cannot do otherwise than broaden our sympathies and un- derstandings? Music is one of many means by which we can gain this development. The Music department of the Normal is doing' its utmost to foster this law of the noble and beautiful. The public school music CliViSi011, under the supervision of Miss Theresa Wild, affords us all, Special students and general, ample opportunity for gaining' a higher apprecia- tion of and greater joy in the art of music. Miss VVild, a graduate of the State Teachers' college, Cedar Falls, Iowa, and of Columbia, Uni- versity, has proved a most efficient supervisor and has done much to gain a permanent foothold for music, in both the training and PTO- Icssional schools. Of a more recent date is the Piano department of the Normal. How- ever, no one will question the rapidity of its growth, in efficiency as well as in the number of students. Miss Margaret Edith Jones, teacher in piano, brings to us the results of years of study at Oberlin, Ohio, and at the Leipsic Conservatory. Nor are the benefits of piano in- struction reserved for the piano students alone. Miss Jones has the welfare of us all at heart, and in her student recitals gives us still an- other peep into the treasure-house of music. Perhaps the greatest tribute we can offer to the members of the Music department, is the willingness and joy we have Shown in work- ing with them. 6
