Several special features enrich the teaching program. An introduction to French was offered as an experiment this year and has been extremely successful. Swimming is taught in the college pool, and regular swimming meets are high spots in the year. Further advantages are instruction in piano music and choral work. Hansel and Gretel, a children's operetta, was given this year, as a product of the entire Intermediate Department. An Open House entertains visiting parents and friends with model classes and programs. Student teachers in the Inter- mediate Department manage and observe affairs under the supervision of Miss Carlson and Miss Sorknes. The Kindergarten-Primary Department Enrichment by environment is an important factor in Kinder- garten-Primary education, and the Training School department carries out the theory by its beautiful and efficient plant. Under Miss Durboraw, principal, an Open House is also given by this department, for friends and parents. Like the Inter- mediate Department, the Kindergarten-Primary Department has teaching features that broaden the horizon of the pupil. Rhythmics, swimming, and music are a few of these. Miss Ivy and Miss Korsbreck supervise the student teachers in their activities. L+ Page Twenty-two
