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.
