Psychology Is Valuable To Students. Educators Education and psychology are related topics in that the suc- cessful instructor should liave some understanding of his students' psychological make-up. Most important to aspiring educators are the Child Psychology and Educational Psychology courses. OC provides both as part of a complete two-year education course. Anyone planning a career in elementary or secondary educa- tion must complete a number of education courses before receiving his teacher's certificate. The psychology curriculum includes courses in Personal Ap- plications of Psychology and Child Psychology, and also an Intro- duction to Psychology course. The role of the psychologist in modern society is ever-increas- ing. Many careers are open in this field, from clinical to industrial psychology. Even to those not choosing a career in psychology, it is important and of use in everyday life and people-to-people relationships. It is of value to anyone comprehending what is presented in the course. Instructing these courses are Clara Willis, Aubrey House, and head of the department Cullen Cranfill. v Clara Willis l56 X--. ,- -1 -rf.: .,.1'w,i xl gn l 4. K. . - l I , . 1 l l l.
