IX-an J. R. Jewell, a graduate of Clark university, is the dean of education in Oregon and director of high school teacher training in the state. Carl W. Salser is acting dean on the Oregon State campus. Assistant Dean Salser Shepard Hall 1908-09 HE school of education keeps constantly in mind three qualities of good teachers in planning courses for major students: the necessity for a broad and liberal education, capability to deal with professional problems and techniques, and mastery of their subjects. The present tendency is to reduce the number of required credits and thus allow a wider range or choice for students in this field. In addition to the M.S. and M.A. degrees granted by the school of education for many years, the professional degrees of Ed.M. and Ed.D. have recently been authorized. A new degree of M.S. or M.A. in general studies has also been made available. These degrees will broaden the scope of graduate work and will place the school with the foremost on the coast. Work in guidance and counseling is emphasized on the Oregon State campus. Along with all professional training for the teaching profession, it is organized under the school of education. Shepard Hall is the headquarters for teacher training on the OSC campus. Practice teaching in both the junior anti senior high schools of Corvallis carries out the theories which are emphasized in the classroom.

:(§S0 (6XML Agriculture Hall 1909-1913 REGON State’s school of agriculture, established in 1908 under the leadership of the late Dr. Arthur B. Cordley, is the oldest school on the campus. The first work in agriculture was offered in 1869, when OSC was known as Corvallis college, and the Courses taught were mainly soil analysis, fertility, stock raising, farm building and fruit culture. Students now enrolled in this major school are offered a wide variety of instruction, classed under the three broad divisions—animal industries, plant industries and agricultural economics. Courses in agricultural education, agricultural engineering and extension methods are also available. Opportunities open to agriculture students are increased by the experiment station, nine branch stations in various agricultural sections of Oregon, and a federal cooperative research and extension program throughout the state. Graduates find positions in specialized service for the U. S. department of agriculture, county agent work, teaching in colleges and secondary schools, experiment station work, actual work on various types of farms, and positions with cooperative associations. William Alfred Schoenfeld, besides being the administrator of the agriculture school, the division of federal co-operative extension and the agricultural experiment station, is recognized as a national leader in the development of the field.

Many graduates have responsible positions in this field. Civil Engineering includes bridges, highways, hydraulics, and sanitation, for all of which complete surveys arc essential. The State Highway Department employs many graduates from this department. Electrical Engineering embraces the generation and distribution of electrical energy and its numberless applications in the home and in industry.
