The department has five important functions: The training of supervisors of fine arts, training of teachers of ine arts: supplying ten hours of art for those who are taking out a Smith-Hughes in Home Economics: preparatory courses for those who will go to commercial and fine art school: and training for grade teachers who need art as a requirement for the elementary certificate. The Industrial Arts, under the direction of Miss Deluce, Mr. Whiffen and Miss Fisher, aim to create a desire, and to develop the requisite skill, to change the natural materials as they come to us, into forms which shall be both pleas-- ing and useful. The logical outcome of such courses of study should be the ability to select vocations intelligently, to appreciate the best products of the industries, and in general to furnish elements of knowledge which might be of usc in interpreting the complex conditions of modern times. The college is very proud of having acquired a new, separate building for the Industrial Arts Department during the last year. T231

University I DEPARTMENT GF EDUCATION A Teachers College fulfills its functions in the degree to which it turns out a body of efficient teachers who have something to teach and know how to do it. The very heart and life of a teachers college is its professional school, and through fine professional training only does it justify its existence. This places upon the Education Department great emphasis and responsi- bility. The Education Department strives to impart to those who are preparing to teach, plans and methods of procedure which have been most successfully tried. Courses in the Education Department consist of methods in the iields of primary, elementary, rural and secondary education: supervision, administra- t1OI'1, psychology, and history and principles of education.
