EDUCATION HUGH M. TIMER. A.B.. M.A. Dean. Professor ol Education. FRANCES JOSEPHINE EASLEY. B.S.. M.A. Associate Professor ol Education. Although the primary objective of education courses is to prepare teachers, the department feels obligated to perform a selective function. Since any worker in the educational field affects the lives of many people, it seems expedient to the education professors to grant majors only to those students who prove qualified in scholarship, character, and general personality to direct the training of children. Courses in both elementary and secondary education have specific value for the prospective teacher, but they are additionally valuable for all persons who will be required as citizens to react in an intelligent manner toward the educational problems of their children and their communities.

Business courses supply knowledge and skill directly applicable in earning a livelihood in competitive business.

Instruction is devoted to three fields: general business management, professional accounting, and economics.

Since everyone must communicate with his fellows through one medium or another, the English department renders a service so desirable that every student is required to come under its influence for a certain length of time. The department, recognizing that the world judges character largely by an individual's use of his mother tongue, endeavors to prepare students to speak and write correctly and effectively. The Instructors believe that this reasonable mastery of language increases capability in one's work and makes for a more efficient life. By imparting an appreciation of literature, a study of men in their best moods,” the courses in literature add a breadth and fullness to the experiences of the student. Such an appreciation. together with an ability to recognize what is good and beautiful in human expression, is invaluable in the use of leisure time and in interpreting day-by-day experience.
