Training btbnul In lVhittie1 s day, 'l'hc feet that, creeping slow to Went storming out to playing, Hut here this fails to be the rule, This sad tho once true saying, Mr. Chcssman is the able supervisor of the grammar gradc department in the Normal: and in consideration of the fifth and sixth grades, it would take far more than a passing survey, to find anv evldence of reluctance among the willing workers. ,R X l A Miss Mix is in charge of these par- ticular grades, and the student teachers who work with hcr gain much of the practical application of teaching, meth- ods, and find her at all times helpful and sympathetic. 4 ' Qi!

Qrt Department lt is said that a great artist was once working' upon one of his most fan10US masterpieces, when a man of the type who flaunt their practical mindedness, came up behind him and said, Umph, l don't understand what you sec in all this! 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. Classes in Occupational Seat worlf.

The first four grades are represented here as well as the Normal students who are special- izing in Primary education. The rooms are always full of little chil- rlren, happy and eager in their school work, and so it is no wonder that the students enjoy working in this department. From nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon, snatches of songs and games come through the windows and evidences of the work may be seen on every hand from the sand table to the little tots with books under their arms. Miss St. John is head of the Primary department, and Miss Hong and Miss McDonald, who is a graduate of L. S- N., are supervisors in the rooms. The Normal students feel glad that such an effective way of observing children in school and of getting practical teaching with them is offered.
