EDUCATION The purpose of the Schoaol of Education is to prepare teachers. The first essential in accomplishing this purpose is to provide a curriculum for enabling all our teacher graduates to bacome well- educated persons. Teachers are constantly required to interpret any field of knowl- edge in its proper relationship to all of society, This makes being wall-educated a necessity, Therefore, to enrich the personal life of our teachers and to help them meet their responsibility to society we want them to have a sound general or liberal education background.
