I THERE is one group within the university system that could claim the motto, Intimate contact with high school students, that group would be the student teachers. Pursuing and furthering their professional status, advanced students in the diverse departments of the two and four-year curricula, under the supervision of the high school critic teachers and administration, conduct and plan classroom activities of the University high school students. Indeed, the student teacher has activities other than the classroom proper. He is availed of the privilege of participating in the scheduling of many extra-class activities. Language clubs, literary and forensic societies, dramatic or- ganizations and productions, science groups, group activitiy designed to develop a knowledge and an enjoyment of playground sports, all offer actual instruction experience to the collegiate teacher within his or her particular field. From the student teachers' point of departure this feature of the university life is singular. But it is no less so to the high school students. Witli such a set-up of pedagogy the student in the classroom is offered many different interpretations of subject matter, enabled to receive the more advanced methods of presenting and emphasizing a subject. Teaching is a matter of personal relationship, both on the part of the teacher and the student, and it is the vigor and interest on the part of the student teaching group that enables them to further and promote that type of relationship. But that vigor and interest without the guidance of the respective critic supervisors would often run amiss. And this student teaching group is more than indebted to the true shapers or' Universiy high school subject and pleasure matter,-the critic teachers and school administrators.
