Economics Helps People To Be Useful Citizens The social science which might seem to be least involved with social conditions is economics and business administration, but one of the aims of the department is to equip students with a more ade- quate understanding of modern economic society in order to assist its members in becoming intelligent citizens of the communities in which they live. The department also seeks to provide a thorough, basic foundation for specialized graduate or professional study and to give students who expect to enter the business world a broad background and some of the fundamental information which will contribute to their success in their later lives. The curriculum of the Millsaps economics depart- ment follows the pattern recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Busi- ness. For those interested in accounting, the Millsaps curriculum offers the opportunity to take courses in all the subjects covered in the Certified Public Accountant examination. Graduates of this study are permitted to take the CPA examination without the usual requirement of two years of apprentice- ship experience.

Practice Teaching Gives Experience, Background Whether the student studying education is in a psychology class playing cat and rat or practice teaching in a local school, he is preparing himself for the moment when he will one day take his position as a molder of the minds of tomorrow. Realizing the great responsibility which lies before him, the student prepares himself to meet his challenge with the desire to help others learn and become the tomorrow of our nation. In this fast-moving and competitive world of today the eminent need for qualified teachers and personnel is ever-present. The Department of Edu- cation at Millsaps is striving to attain this goal by providing vast opportunity for the develop- ment of skill, self-reliance, and those inner resources which lead to self-mastery and happiness. Under the direction of Dr. R. Edgar Moore, this depart- ment has continued to progress toward a goal of excellent service. Professional training is offered in both the ele- mentary and secondary fields. Courses are de- signed to introduce the student to the fundamental principles of teaching and learning. The student observes and teaches in an accredited school for a semester. This experience is supported and supple- mented by seminars and conferences between stu- dents and college supervisors. This program is designed to meet the requirements of the Division of Certificatioh, the State Department of Education, and Class A certificates in both the elementary and secondary fields. R.

Fine Arts Courses Stimulate Maturation Of Skills,Talents Art is the expression of emotion, . . . communication, . . . the sharing of new discoveries. Millsaps students enjoy varied opportunities in the Department of Fine Arts: the music de- partment headed by Associate Professor Leland Byler and the art department headed by Mr. Karl Wolfe. The Fine Arts Department as a whole is devoted to the development of the skills and appreciation which will make art meaningful. More and more students throughout the state are becoming aware of the possibilities for careers relating to the graphic arts and particularly of the opportunity to study with Karl Wolfe, who has long been recognized as one of the South ' s outstanding artists. Work by Millsaps students is exhibited annually by the Municipal Art Gallery in Jackson. Local concerns employ Millsaps students for advertising and illustrat- ing work. This year the art department painted signs for the zoo. Another of the fine arts is music. This department has a faculty of four full-time teachers. Majors are offered in Music Education, Organ, Piano, and Voice. There are also extracur- ricular offerings through the three choirs and the newly organized band. C.
