r TROY ' S PROGRAM FOR EDUCATION OF TEACHERS RECOGNIZED Insofar as an organized university discipline in Educational Foundations is be- ginning to appear, who is designing and constructing it: The professors of education? The professors of arts and sciences? Is it being done by the unified effort of the entire faculty in all these three fields, all of whom are concerned with the building of the full program in the education of teachers? Or is it being done by one of these groups in isolation from the other. In the state Colleges, it is much more the practice for these three major organiza- tions of the college to work in close cooperation, each one playing its role in the creation of the total program. Two conspicuous examples can be cited -.first, the state Teachers College at Troy, Alabama, a small undergraduate institution of about 800 students; second, the San Francisco State College, recently grown to some 6000 students. It happens that in both institutions the initiating leadership resides in the president — Dr. C. B. Smith at Troy for nearly fifteen years, and D. J. Paul Leonard at San Francisco, who since the close of World War II has assembled and inspired a dynamic staff of young professors competent in all the sciences, arts and in education. In each of these institutions I found unified teamwork, the continuous and uninter- rupted cooperation of all departments of the College in working together at the problem of building a unified college curriculum from the freshman to the senior year, and including the masters year. The inevitable result is a fine body of new and integrated courses of instruction. I found in the faculty the devotion to the problem of rethinking and reconstructing the program of education, the burning enthusiasm and dynamic spii it which charac- terized the best of the child-centered schools in their youthful days immediately after World War I. I found not only this optimistic fervor, but also a scientific mood of research and inquiry of criticism and appraisal which promises much for the continuous development of this work.
