DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Dr. F. B. Har rincton, A. B., M. A., Ph. D. A. B. Oberlin College, M. A, University of Minnesota, Ph. D. University of Chicago. The Department of Education comprises three departments within itself: the department of education proper, the training school, and the department of high school supervision. The Department of Education offers theoretical and practical college courses in elementary and ad- vanced psychology, pedagogy and the art of teaching, history of education, and courses in methods and curriculum designed to satisfy all require- ments for various state certificates, as weil as more advanced courses for the benefit of those obtaining degrees. The Training School main- tains an organization of eight grades in which critic teachers direct the work of students in observation and practice teaching. The two-fold purpose of the Training Schoo] is to afford opportunity for young teach- ers to “learn their trade,” and to develop a school where the best methods of teaching and the most recent lines of school procedure are exemplified. The High School classes of Southwestern are, for the most part, taught by Seniors, whose class room procedure is under the immediate direction of a critic teacher. Practice teaching in the High School has lately been made a requirement for those who receive their degrees, and, accordingly, this branch of departmental activities has recently received added im- portance. In addition to their regular activities the children of the Train- ing School are also used by various other departments for the purpose of giving practice teaching in special lines of endeavor, such as, music, art, physical training, playground, manual training, and home economics, twenty-six
