s y 77 -i ii 1 ■■ - ana fc v V S H M DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL THE Demonstration School is an integral part of the college. Its primary purpose is to afford prospective teachers an opportunity to observe the application of approved methods of instruction to typical school situations and actual experience in teaching under expert supervision. For this purpose it maintains classes with limited enrollment in every grade from kindergarten to senior high school with teachers holding at least masters degrees in charge of every class. State adopted texts are used as the basis of instruction. A small incidental fee from each pupil enrolled affords adequate instruction materials in every department. Such extra-curricular activities as are found in any first- class modern school are maintained. J. L. Pritchett, Florence Lowe, N. J. Whitehurst, Bertha Kirkley H. R. Brentzel, Mamie C. Lister, F. A.

■• DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN 1923 an expansion program was instituted which culminated in the estab- lishment of the Department of Public Service. This newly created depart- ment was designed to meet the educational needs of the people in this territory. Professor Huffor led the movement, and directs the department. For the benefit of those who can not attend the college and for the con- venience of the teachers in the field, this Department offers college courses by correspondence and through extension classes located in towns convenient to those wishing to enroll. In the 1931-32 session new centers were established and the enrollment increased. Extension classes are held in Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur, Wharton, Palestine, Crockett, Conrce, Groveton, Shiro, Baytown, and Fairfield. C. A. Parkhill, Augusta Lawrence, T. S.

Tk REGISTRAR ' S MESSAGE THE Registrar ' s office is one of the few offices on the campus where all students must make some direct contact during their college work. Here it is that they register for their first courses as timorous freshmen, and from here as dignified seniors, they later receive their certificates of four years of work well done. This office has as its most important function the preserving and distributing of the records of you who are enrolled now and of all those others who have been here before you. From 1S79 to 1912, impressive old books contain the names and grades of students of those years; since 1912, smaller, but more complete, cards tell the story of the college record of each one who has entered here. You are writing your permanent record every day, and what goes down on the record remains, whether it be to your future chagrin or pleasure. Ellen K.
