ELMIRA AND GLDVERSVILLE Through the cooperation of the city school systems of Gloversville and Elmira, Geneseo State Normal School was able to inaugurate an experiment in off-campus student teaching during the past academic year. Fifty-two Seniors served as cadets in Elmira and eighteen Seniors had their apprenticeship experience in Gloversville. The Normal School, through its director of training and other members ofthe supervisory and critic staff, was not able to give as much supervision and personal attention to the cadets as is desirable. However, the experiment proved very successful due to the wholesome and unstinted cooperation ofthe administrative and supervisory staffs in the off'-campus centers. Furthermore, the loyalty and urgent desire of the cadets to cooperate and grow in the pro- fession of teaching was most gratifying. The universal reaction of the cadets has been that the practice teaching in the OH'-campus centers was unquestionably profitable and that it approached a natural teaching situation more nearly than the campus laboratory experience did. I Mr. Harry Langworthy, Superintendent of Schools at Gloversville, and Dr. Harvey O. Hutchinson, Superintendent of Schools at Elmira, deserve especial commendation for meeting so tactfully and cooperatively all the intricate administrative problems which have arisen. The splendid guidance given our cadets by the various principals and cadet instruct- ors proved invaluable to them. However, to the supervisors of the elementary grades, more than to any other persons, do we give credit for the organization, supervision, direction, and stimulation of this new program of practice teaching, viz., Miss Hazel VanAnden, Supervisor of Elementary Grades, Gloversville, Mr. Oscar F. Kerlin, Director of Grades, Elmira, and Miss Ethel Crout, Assistant Director of Primary Grades, Elmira. It will also be of interest to Geneseo alumni and faculty to know that the following Geneseo graduates contributed vitally to this project: Miss Vivian Swanson, Principal, McKinley School, Gloversville Miss Margaret Sibley, Cadet Instructor for Kindergarten, Gloversville Miss Lucy TenEyck, Cadet Instructor for Kindergarten, Elmira Miss Anastasia Mullaney, Cadet Instructor for Grammar Grades, Elmira CLARENCE O.
