So the ef- fective elementary teacher must be able to place herself in the child's world, yet rise above it with the knowledge that she must present to her students. For this reason, elementary education students take a wide variety of classes. It will be their responsibility to supervise tl1e growth of the total child and develop every facet of the studentis mind. XVhether the college girl will teach kindergarten or fourth grade, she must be able to answer any and all questions, her knowledge must be wide and endless. How many fields are the object of a child's inquiring mind? To the el ed majors they seem endless. Kindergarten -what does God look like -why is a caterpillar covered with soft hair- where is the sun when we can't see it? In the upper grades, the second, third or fourth, the questions become deeper and more mature, as the students wake to the world around them. YVhat makes a light bulb light-what did Columbus do -why does it rain? In some way, an answer must be given. 6 education essential ZFFQ . s to educations 4 f Hi U 3 A. - iff - - t.'- ft -. gs. - , ,EPT 'Q1f::i,1z'yf.gfQ :'i f1' ' -V i V ,C Q' S' .

She must also learn the ways of the classroom, how to conduct and lead, and turn to best use the Hgroup spirit of as- sembled children. So numerous Hmethodsn classes are offered, each giving those small but essential bits of information that are so helpful in creating a pleasant atmosphere in a classroom. Good books, cheerful and sunny pictures or drawings and a smiling teacher wearing the jewelry children love. Elementary education majors sacrifice much. Because of their carefully planned schedules they often cannot take as many electives as those with other majors. But then, they probably realize, more than anyone else, the meaning of molding young mindsf, 20 Wm. Patrick Colbert, Margaret Paterson, E. Louise Curtis, Anstice T. Abbott, and Isobel Walling.
