Dean C. VV. Leaphart SCHOOL OF LAW Montana's School of Law, listed as class A and a member of the Association of American Law Schools, offers a degree of Bachelor of Laws to stu- dents finishing two years of pre-legal preparation and three years of legal work. It is approved by the American Bar association. In 1911 when the school was established, it occu- pied only one floor of the present law building, which was then the University library. The small law li- brary it then contained has grown to a collection of over twenty-four thousand volumes and is increasing each year. Four years ago the Anaconda Copper Mining company donated the seven thousand volume library of the late Senator VV. A. Clark, and gifts of Mrs. VV. XY. Dixon and judge John J. McHatton have added to the collection. Law students are organized in the Law School association and outstanding members are chosen for Phi Delta Phi, men's national honorary legal fra- ternity. Professor A. K. Smith of North Carolina was added this year to the teaching staff, now composed of four full time professors. VValter L. Pope and A. N. Wfhitlock, practicing attorneys, give special lectures. Miss Charlotte Russell is law school librarian. The curriculum has been increased this year to in- clude courses in Creditors' Rights and Municipal Cor- porations, and summer session courses will be given for the first time since l925. A distinctive feature of the School of Law is the use of the honor system, which has been successfully operated since the founding of the institution. E291

Dean Freeman Daughters SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Education work, beginning with two courses in 1904 under the Department of Philosophy, became a separate department in 191-4 after the passing of a legislative act allowing the State University to issue certificates of qualification to teach, and was estab- lished as a school in 1930. The purpose of the School of Education is the training of teachers, principals and superintendents for Montana public schools. Education majors pre- pare for supervisory positions, principalships and superintendencies, Practical experience is received in the Missoula city schools and high school. Approx- imately hfty percent of the graduates of the Univer- sity secure teaching certificates in Montana. Worlciiig in co-operation with the department is the Board of Recommendations, under the direction of Professor VV. E. Maddock, which not only helps to place members of the graduating class in teaching positions, but gives service to all graduates formerly registered with the board. In this way, assistance is given to between 350 and 400 people every year. The Montana Conference on Educational Problems is held during the summer session each year and sponsored by the School of Education in an effort to reach as many school men and women as possible. Distinguished speakers from other institutions are featured on the program, as well as members of the regular summer session staff. The regular staff consists of Dr. Freeman Daugh- ters, Deang Professor W. E. Maddock, who has charge of correspondence study in addition to his other activities, and Dr. VV. R. Ames, professor of education and psychology. Mrs. Harriet R. Sedman, Dean of VVomen, conducts a course in personnel Work. E231
