The Department of Education in our Teachers' College develops an appreciation of teaching as an art and a science. To be an efficient teacher an individual must be well grounded in the funda- mental principles upon which all teaching is based. The Department of Educa- tion inducts the student into the philosophy of education and the principles out of which methods arise. The Department of Education gives the future teacher a knowledge of the nature of children-their capacities and interests-and the principles of learning, so that teaching may be done easily and effectively on the child's level.

'A' DEPARTMENT CDE ENGLISH DR. ANNA M. PAINTER MATTIE M- DYKES CARRIE HOPKINS RUTH LOXVERY ESTELLA BOWMAN The Department of English offers to students the opportunity to attain competence in the use of language for utilitarian, social, and artistic purposes. One of the marks of an educated man or woman is the ability to use the mother tongue with ease and precision. Some knowledge of the abundant literature written in English, and of the trends of contemporary thinking and writing, is expected of every person of any education or culture. The English Department is devoted to building up a proper respect for good English and to giving students a wider acquaintance with the best that has been thought and said. The department, under the direction of Dr. Painter, offers both majors and minors in the field. Special courses are given to those who are interested in some particular phase of the work. 1201 at
