THE EVERGREEN The school has two major purposes. The first is a very obvious one, viz., to provide a standard elementary school education for the pupils enrolled. The second is to provide a laboratory which will furnish opportunities along four lines: (1) for definite pupil contact, by the student in training, so that the student may study the children as such. Understand¬ ing of the child is fundamental to all else; (2) for students to interpret and apply professional content courses such as Technique of Teaching, Teaching Problems, and Educational Psychology; (3) for college instructors of a definite situation with the view of rendering better assistance to the begin¬ ning student teacher; (4) for the critic teacher to have regular access to the specialists who are familiar with laboratory needs. The College Elementary School is used only for the first stage of laboratory experience which is usually called Obser¬ vation and Participation. The second and final stage is done in the Salisbury schools and consists almost wholly of actual responsible teaching. T. J. CARUTHERS, PRINCIPAL, College Elementary School

THE EVERGREEN THE COLLEGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE ELEMENTARY School, which is a very necessary part of the Teachers College, is a four-room school which offers instruction in grades one to seven. Each of three rooms accommodates two grades under the instruction of one teacher. The first and second grades occupy one room and have, as a teacher, Miss Lillian Parker; grades three and four are in a second room under the instruction of Miss Pauline Riall; a third room contains grades five and six with Miss Beulah Dixon as teacher. The fourth room has only the seventh grade and the instruction is largely departmentalized. Mrs. Tracy Holland has the major responsibility for unifying the work of the room, but she teaches only a part of the time. Other teachers who are sharing the work of this room are Miss A. H. Matthews, Miss Henrietta Purnell, Miss Helen Jamart, Miss Margaret Black, and Mr. Benn Maggs, of the college faculty, and Miss Martha White, a member of the present college senior class. The total enrollment of the school is 126. Each room is limited to a maximum of 35 pupils. This makes an enroll¬ ment in each grade of from 17 to 18 pupils except the seventh ' ' hich has 21.
