Oluillen ing Courses U. High serves as a secondary laboratory school for the College of Education. Because of this, our school has some unusual features and advantages that arc beneficial to the students and faculty alike. The U. High curriculum is under constant inspection. Revision and additions to courses offered and materials available is a steady process. Our teachers either hold or arc working toward advanced degrees. This added to the fact that there arc no study halls at U. High and every student carries six classes a day, makes us able to take full advantage of our unusual facilities. In order to bring prospective teachers closer to classroom situations we have a closed circuit television station with student operating crews. The programs are sent to other buildings on campus where education students can watch televised classes. 6 (onn « Clark.
