Ziegel is a Missourian, with his master’s and his doctor’s degree from the University of Missouri. After returning from the Office of Education, Dr. Ziegel accepted the position as head of the Education Department of the college. In his field, Dr. Ziegel is recognized as an authority. It is expected that the Education department of a teachers college should be the most outstanding department. Likewise, it is expected that such a department should have an authority as its head. This we have »n Dr. Ziegel. Calmness, dignity, culture, scholarship—these qualities come instantly to mind when- ever one thinks of Lula E. Wirt, for twelve years a devoted professor in the Education De- partment of the college. She has her master’s degree from Columbia. H. G. Stout has his master’s degree from the University of Nebraska, and is there this year, on leave of absence, working on his doctor's degree. He has been in the Education De- partment for six years. Vaughn C. Wallace, Ph. D., joined the faculty of the Education Department at the opening of the second quarter of this year. His particular hobbies are eating and watching basketball games, Almost all modern conversation,” John Cowper Powys has said, when not between lovers or book-lovers, is a silly interruption of the secret ecstasy of life.” No one can say he has wasted his time who has spent an hour with Mary Major Crawford, for her con- versation, sooner or later, turns to literature. Doubtless she has made more lovers of Brown- ing than has any other teacher in the Middle West. Miss Crawford has been connected with the English Department for twenty-seven years. She is a member of Sigma Tau Delta and Chi Delta Phi, Cora O’Connell, for twenty-four years connected with Kearney State Teachers College, has her master’s degree from Columbia LJniversity. At present she is Professor of the English Language and Literature, Miss O’Connell is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, j. Clark Weaver, author of one-act plays, dramatic coach, and speech specialist, took his early training in the State College of Washington, and his Ph. M. degree from the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He has been connected with the English Department for three years. Professor Weaver is a member of Pi Kappa Delta, Sigma Tau Delta, and the American College Quill Club. For the last two years he has had charge of the dramatic work of the college, j. D. Hansen received his academic and his scientific speech training at the Uni- versity of Iowa, For the last two years he has been the college debate coach, and has super- vised the Speech Department of the A, O. Thomas High School. His work is his hobby. When the charming Irish poet wrote his now famous poem about the London seam- stresses he not only relieved the sweat-shop conditions under which those unfortunate women had to work, he also turned the work of the seamstress into an art. Home Economics is now an art. In the Home Economics Department of the college there are two artists: one with the needle; the other in the dining room and kitchen. Louise Enochs has been training teachers in the art of sewing, in the wise selection of materials, and in the art of being well- dressed, for the last seven years; while Bernice D. Dunlavey, a master of science from the University of Nebraska, has been in charge of the Foods and Cooking division of that de- partment for the last two years. Walter Klehm has been head of the Industrial Education Department of the college for five years, and has been in the department for six. His hobby, so he says, is golf; how- ever, it is not confined to that sport. He can turn his knowledge into practical use, and design a house, build it, and then win a city-wide contest for beauty of structure and de- sign, Mr. Klehm has his master’s degree from the University of Illinois. Running the In- dustrial Education Department without Otto Olsen would he unthinkable as running the college without a president. Mr. Olsen has been in the department for fifteen years. It is one thing to know a subject and pass on that subject to willing listeners; it is still something else to love a subject and transfer that love to both willing and unwilling list- eners. It is one thing to be interesting; it is still something else, and for a teacher, some- thing else more important, to he enthusiastic about a subject. It is one thing to teach the me- chanics of a foreign language; it is still something else to teach the spirit of the language,
