In 1912, the School of Domestic Science was established with Elizabeth H. Bohn at the head. In 1917, Mary Tough became principal of the School of Home Economics. Edna Endly and Louise Eckel followed. In 1929, Velma Phillips became head of the department. The work in the department is first of all for the training of teachers for the public schools. The course, however, is well adapted for training girls in the man- agement of their future homes. It also offers preparation for managerial work in hotels, tea rooms, and dormitories. The department is housed in the Agricultural and Home Economics Building on University Terrace. Practical work is furnished for some of the students in the university dormitories. While an assistant in the electrical engineering department, G. E. McLaughlin had work-shop added to his duties. In 1917, a separate department was established with G.E. McLaughlin as professor of manual training, now called the Department of Industrial Education. The department is housed in Super Hall. All sorts of wood working, wood finishing, cabinet making, and designing are taught. Machine shop, sheet metal work, and auto me- chanics make up another group in the department. Sev- eral different phases of the printing problem are taught, including job printing, engrav- ing, press work, and many practical problems of the subject. Local printeries are acces- sible for practice work. Industrial education has been a part of the work in the College of Education. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Education is conferred upon stud- ents completing this course. HOME ECONOMICS INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION First Row: (left to right) I. M. Patterson, V. Phillips, M. S.

The Department of Commerce had its beginning in 1892 when Charles M. Cope- land became instructor in commercial branches and Mabel K. Brown, instructor in sten- ography and typewriting. Before many years the department under the direction of Pro- fessor Copeland became one of the strongest in the University. A. H. Armbruster be- came director in 1934. Special attention is given to problems of accounting, advertising and selling, banking and finance, economics, industrial management, marketing, pre-law, and com- merce. A separate course is now offered in secretarial science which is closely identi- fied with commerce. Stenography, typing, and secretarial work are stressed in this de- partment. Helen Reynolds directs the department. On the teaching staff in the de- partment are William H. Fenzel, accounting and economic geography Roy H. Paynter, marketing; Ernest E. Ray, accounting; Ralph F. Beckert, accounting; A. G. Gruchy, banking; M. D. Hughes, of the Athens Bar, teaches business law. F. D. Forsyth, cashier of a local bank, has been a lecturer in the de- partment. Thomas Wolfe is a lecturer in accounting. COMMERCE The School of Commerce provides excellent op- portunities for those who wish to follow commercial activities, and offers many benefits to the average citizen in preparing him better to handle his own financial affairs. Many of the students are given opportunities to put into practice their accomplishments in various business and financial concerns in the city of Athens. There are many calls for those proficient in stenography and typewriting. The department is housed in Ewing Hall. First Row: (left to right) R. F. Beckert. D. Sponseller. H. Reynolds. G. W. Jones. M.

Early in the 1830 ' s, a movement was begun looking toward the training of teach- ers to teach in the common schools. For a few years a model school for this purpose was held in the Academy Building. It was not until 1888 that John P. Gordy headed the new departments of psychology and pedagogy. Lillian B. Michael became instructor in methods. In 1902, the State Normal College, now called the College of Education, was es- tablished. Frank P. Bachman was professor of history of education; Frederick Treudley, professor of educational methods; and Emma S. Waite, principal of the training school. W. L. Gard came in 1908, Isaac E. Ash, in 1919, H. G. Good in 1922, G. E. Carrothers and Ray Latham in 1924, L. B. Job and A. B. Sias in 1926. J. J. Richeson became super- visor of rural training schools and F. C. Landsittel, F. S. Coultrap, and S. K. Mardis taught methods of teaching. In 1922, A. F. Myers be- came principal of the training school. In 1928, F. S. Salisbury became director of teacher training. A. B. Sias succeeded him in 1931 with Einar Hansen director of Rufus Putnam school. Prospective teachers get actual practice in teaching in the University training school at Putnam Hall, in the Athens High Schools, the schools at the Plains, and the Mechanics- burg school. The Kindergarten School was established in 1908. Constance MacLeod has been at the head of the school since its beginning. In 1922, a course in Special Education was offered with La Vinia Warner director. This was a special course for the training of delinquent children. EDUCATION (Left to right) W. L. Gard. W. L. Gard.
