EARLY CHILDHOOD The students in Early Childhood Education work with nursery school, kindergarten, and primary grade children. Although the educa- tion of these students is similar to that of all students in education, emphasis is placed upon understandings necessary in dealing with younger children. When the early childhood students become teachers, they will mold the attitudes and basic concepts of young children. What they teach will be the basis for the later education of the children in their charge. Seated, L to r.: E. Seegott; N. J. Legg, Sec; N. A. Babenehr, Treas.; D. Love, Pres.; C.

It includes liberal arts subjects as well as the technical home economics studies. Home economics students are expected to acquire the appreciation, understandings, and techniques needed to help their students improve all aspects of family life. Of necessity, studies are varied, since the youn g woman is expected to develop an ability to participate in community activities as well as teach specialized homemaking skills. Thus, the home economics curriculum encompasses any matter dealing with family life.
