THE EVERGREEN OF 1935 The one objective of the last two years of the four year college curricu¬ lum is to train prospective teachers for the elementary schools. The last two of the four year college curriculum will consist of content and professionalized subject matter courses, and directed teaching. We wish to call special atten¬ tion to the fact that students will not be required to sign a pledge to teach until the beginning of the junior year, at which time professional courses will begin. The future of the Maryland State Teachers College at Salisbury is very bright because an increased enrollment is assured due to the fact that the first two years will be academic. It is expected that the total number of men students will be materially increased. Approximately one fourth of those enrolled at the school at the present time are young men. The need for addi¬ tional elementary teachers in Maryland counties during the coming years is another reason for the bright future of this Teachers College. It has been estimated that more than seven hundred teachers will be needed during the next four years for the elementary schools in Maryland counties. Many of the students now enrolled in the Maryland State Teachers Colleges at Salis¬ bury, Towson, and Frostburg will, of course, be available as teachers during the next four years. Jefferson D.
