EDUCATION ERNEST L. MELBY, Dean MUSIC JoHN W. BEATTUQ, Dean THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION is the University's principal agency for the integration of its teacher education activities. It provides the professional training program for students preparing for educational work and cooperates with other colleges and departments ofthe University in preparing young men and women for a wide variety of educational pursuits. In so doing, the School of Education ministers to the needs of America's largest profession. One in every forty- seven gainfully employed persons is a teacher. The appropriate education of this army of educa- tional workers presents America with one of its most dynamic social challenges. A growing democratization of education has completely changed the character of the Work ofthe teacher in the average school. No longer can such a teacher be a mere specialist in a subject matter field. She must now be a specialist on children. She is called upon to organize the life ol' the school in such a way that it will make a well-rounded development of personality on the part of each individual child. ERNEST O. MELBY THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC has two main objectives: first, the education of music students who are to become teachers and professional musiciansg second, the cultural development of general University students. For professionally-minded musicians, we offer a great variety of courses which provide both information and skillg for general University students, we provide a limited number of courses plus unusual opportunity to participate in first class musical organizations, such as the Band, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, and A Capella Choir. Membership in these organizations, is of course, open to all University students. JOHN W. BEATTIE

COMMERCE RAI,IfII E. IAIEILMAN, Dean JOURNALISM XVILLIAM R. SLAUGIITER, I focational Advisor THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE was established at Northwestern University twenty- eight years ago to supply scientific training of university grade for young men and women who plan to enter business. The Northwestern University School ol' Commerce was a pioneer in the movement for business education and was a charter member of the American Association of Col- legiate Schools of Business. Since that time, university training for business executives has demonstrated its valI1e. This training is not intended to displace practical work in the business field, but to supplement and strengthen it. Training gained exclusively in the hard school of experience has proven a wasteful process, but business for years believed that men could learn in no other way. It is now clear, however, that by bringing together in systematic form the experiences of many firms, a university course of instruction enables the individual to profit by the combined experience of others. RALPH E. HEILMAN MEDILL SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM carries on, but without its director. Due to the unexpected death of Prof. Harry F. Harrington while registration was proceeding at the beginning of the school year last fall, a temporary arrangement had to be made quickly if the school was to operate effectively in the interest of its students. Under this plan, each member of the Medill faculty, as well as the administration and staff of the School of Commerce, has cooperated loyally. The captainless ship has been steered, and all signs point to a safe arrival in port at the end ofthe school year. The actual leadership may be gone, but its inspiration remains. WILLIANI R. SLAUGHTER.
