' H. A. wise, Ph. D. Head of Education Department and Director of Training School inuomion into IIMIIIIIIICS SCIICQDI Through the untiring efforts of a capable staff, the Education Department is constantly improving the program of teacher training at SMS. The progressive attitude of the department as a whole has brought about the use of new methods of teaching and improvement in the techniques of teaching to the many students majoring in the field. Since the school became a state college, many courses are offered besides those leading to a B, S. of E. degree, but the degree in education is still one of the most widely sought by students. In l906 the main function of the school was to train teachers, and the change in l9I9 to a State Teachers College expanded this program. The training begins with courses in general psychology and advances to school administration, special methods of teaching, plus two terms of student teaching in the training school to put into practice the knowledge f. gained. The student teaching is extremely valuable to the prospective teacher because actual class room problems are met and solved in the excel- Iently equipped training school. The training school staff is composed of teachers and supervisors whose goal is the correct training of good teachers. W. Y. FOSTER, A. M.
