THE LIBRARY THE heart of college study is the College Library, under the direction of Miss Sarah Hougham. The picture merely suggests a small part of the equipment available to students and faculty members. This is a unit in itself and comprises a spacious reference room shown above, a reserve room of like proportions, a periodical room, a two-story stack room, workrooms and classrooms for students of library science, as well as ofiices. With a rapidly increasing library of almost 20,000 Volumes and a collection of many maga- zines and periodicals covering each field of college work as well as general reading material, the Library is a splendid asset to the College. In the picture are Mrs. Grace Goodsell, Miss Hougham, and Miss Grace Mostue. PHYSICAL EDUCATION THE Physical Education department of the College is called upon to fulfill the requirements of a wide variety of needs and interests. Miss Flora Erick, head of the department, and Alex J. Nemzek, Jr., Director of Athletics, have in the new Physical Education building facilities which are unexcelled in the Northwest. The plant includes a spacious gymnasium with a seating capacity of 1,400 people, the finest swimming pool that can be built, classrooms, locker rooms, a smaller gymnasium, storage rooms, and a clinic, all completely equipped in the most modern style. The department offers work in hygiene and sanitation, anatomy, kinesiology, physical tests and measurements, corrective gymnastics, school festivals, scout and camp fire leadership courses and playground management, in addition to a large number of coaching and physical education technique courses in every branch of sport.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL BEsiDEs the seven rural affiliated schools, the College maintains the Training School on the Campus, under the direction of Miss Georgina Lommen. Housed in its splendid new two-story structure and manned by a faculty which numbers more than twenty, it is a complete city school system in itself. In the short space of one page it is impossible to give due credit to this institu- tion further than to call attention to the fact that here there is every imaginable opportunity for College students to observe and participate in the instruction of pupils from the kindergarten on up through the senior high school. The Training School is the heart ,of the College student's professional preparation, it is the testing ground, the laboratory in which he learns by doing what he has studied throughout his career as a student. Little wonder with such facilities, unexcelled in the Northwest, that graduates of M.T.S.Ci are successful in their chosen professions. The Training School has its own auditorium, study halls, library, laboratories, workrooms, playrooms, and offices. The College High School is a full-fledged unit, accredited by the North Central Association and by the State Department, conducting in its complete program of activities all the usual features of any good city high school. In the Library picture is the College High School staff: Mr. Weltzin, Miss Lommen, Mr. Berquist, Mr. Parsons, Miss FitzMaurice, Mr. Loewen, Miss Weiick, Mr. Gilpin, Miss Haw- kinson, Miss Verna Heston, Miss Lyl Solem, and Miss Willianis. In Miss Lommen's office are members of the Elementary School staff: Miss Marie Sorkness, Miss Nan Halcrow, Miss Olga Korsbrek, Miss jones, Miss VVenck, Miss Lommen, Miss Loudon, Miss Rainey, Miss Agnes Carlson, Miss Delia Peterson, Mrs. Durboraw, and Miss Clara Undseth. 23
