SNS 7 'mr 'B wb I 928 I l CHARLES FREDERICK WHITNEY It is with deep regret that we announce the retirement of one of our most-beloved teachers, Mr. Charles Frederick Whitney. Mr. Whitney has had charge of the art work at Salem Normal School for many years. Combining in a marked degree the training and ability of the artist with the talents of a natural-born teacher, he has a rare insight into the realm of childhood. Not only does he bring to bear upon the art the most practical point of view, but he is able to demonstrate in an exceptional way its value in general education. His early work in the Salem Normal School was to modify the art courses from the purely academic to such work as would satisfy the needs of teachers and the interests and activities of child life. Although a progressive, Mr. Whitney has never introduced into his department fads, but has tested new ideas for their value in the lives of children. The course in art has emphasized the fact that all children will become neither artists nor designers, but that all have some ability to express them- selves in the graphic language of drawing, to realize the purpose and fitness in con- structive problems and design, and to appreciate the fine things in architecture, sculpture, and painting. It remains with us now to express our gratitude for his service and friendship and to assure him that he will always be affectionately re- membered. J. V. R. 16
