ROBERT EDGAR MOORE; Professor of Education; A.B., Birmingham-Southern College; A.M., University of Alabama; Ed.D., George Peobody C ollege for Teachers. Education Courses Give Experience, Background I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come. — Abraham Lincoln The student studying education is preparing him- self for that moment when he will take his position as a molder of the minds of tomorrow. His prepara- tion grows as he becomes involved in the educational courses offered to him and buds forth as he actually steps into the classroom as a student-teacher and observes and works with the eager young students. Realizing the great responsibility which lies before him, the student prepares himself to meet his chal- lenge with the desire to help others learn and be- come the tomorrow of our nation. It is a reality in the fast-moving and competitive world of today that there is an eminent need for qualified teachers and personnel— yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Department of Education at Mill- saps is striving to attain this goal by providing vast opportunity for the development of skill, self-reliance, and those inner resources which lead to self-mastery and happiness. Under the direction of Dr. Ross E. Moore, this department has continued to progress toward a goal of excellent service. In both the elementary and secondary fields pro- fessional training is offered. The courses ore designed to introduce the student to the fundamental principles of teaching and learning. Then the student is given the opportunity to observe and teach in an accredited school for a semester. MRS.

HARRIS; Assistant Professor of History; A.B., A.M., Ph.D., University of Alabama. History Emphasizes Events in Their Intellectual Light The development of democracy, from its early idealism in tfie minds of philosophers to its success- ful experiment in the United States and its dismal failure in the French Revolution, to the changes in interpretation of the meaning of the term as Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt altered its practical applications— such is only one of the varied concerns of the Department of History at Millsaps. History courses have been planned so that the student may follow the causal relationship in human development. Upon a thorough factual foundation emphasis is placed on the progressive organization of social, intellectual, and moral ideas of peoples and nations.
