1 I l l 1 Rbpsinal Qthucatinn Eepartment Miss JEAN AND1zRsoN. The Lewiston Normal was most fortunate in securing Mi5S Jean Anderson as head of the Physical Education department. She coin- bines efficiency with many delightful social qualifications which render her a most valuable member of the faculty. The department of which she is the head works toward the better health and increased vigor of both mind and body of the hundreds of students who take courses in physical training during the year. Miss Anderson has been with us for the past two years and we sin- cerely hope that she will remain to continue the excellent work which she is so ably doing in her part of our school life.

Bepartment of ilaistnrp Many definitions of history have been submitted by those who know, and not the least of these is, History is statistics in motiong statistics, history at rest. At no time since the Department of History was founded in the Lewiston State Normal, have the two been confused. Rather the ideal and aim has been in every case, to vitalize the subject. and make it a part 'of thc lives and activities of a living peopie. The department is in charge of Professor H. L. Talkington, and his preparation as well as the general trend of his life has been such as to best fit him for his position. I All but two graduating classes of the Normal have derived the benefit offered by his classes. It is quite safe to say none has left them without a clearer conception of the real meaning 'of history. Some of the courses offered are American history, History Meth- ods, Pioneer History Stories, and Pacific Coast History- Of the latter two it might be said that Mr. Talkington is authority, being ever on the alert for vital, first hand material pertaining to our great North- west.

The artist looked at him in 12f,C11l1iI1C pity and replied, No, but don't you wish you conld?,' How many of ns wish we could ap- preciate, how many of us wish we could manipulate. and what an opportunity the Art department of the Lewiston State Normal 'offers for the realization of both these desires. The department is under the super- vision of Miss Elizabeth Pruncr, assist- ed by Miss Sylvester and is devoted to the technique of the fundamental pro- cesses in the industrial arts: and the study of the methods and practice of presentation in the town and rur l school.
