How- ? l ever, this should not be taken as an advantage to rid ourselves of stored-up l l wrath and the phraseology which accompanies such temper, and heap it upon Q the Business Nlanager, Who, speaking more seriously, holds a very responsible l E ' and difficult position in our administrative staff. 1 1 Mr. NlcGinnis assumes a great many responsibilities, some of which are l the management of the monthly payroll, providing for the salaries of the l faculty, administration, and any persons connected with the college, with l l i the exception of the students-the compilation of the quarterly statement ' , of state and local funds, apportionment and record of departmental funds, ' daily expenses, and control of our activity tickets. l i Besides these duties, he engages in all kinds of other activities, such as 1 l teaching, speaking, motoring, golfing, and observing nature from our campus ll? i walks, in truth, he's a very busy man. We are very grateful to him for his 1 I making possible our enjoyment of college activities. I . .

l r F 1 S ii l L' l 1 I . I l 1 J 3 P. E. MCDONALD Registrar HE President of a denominational college in an eastern state, when asked if his institution did not need more campus grounds, replied that the size of campus caused him no worry. His students were there for work and not for play and they did not make use of the few acres they had. Now, what do you think of that? A college whose students had nothing to do except study their lessons 1 I A professor from another college who had labored long, faithfully and efficiently, but had not reached the traditional three-score years and ten, realized that his health was failing. After a vain effort to secure relief from local medical lore and skill, he went to a well-known clinic in one of the middle northern states. He was put through the usual tests and examination, given reports in esoteric, high-brow terms, with prescriptions the cost of which flattened still further an already depleted purse. But the one thing in the clinic that most interested the professor and provoked the most thought on his part was the question asked by one genial member of the staff, What is your hobby? The diagnostician went on to explain that a hobby is not a vocation, but an avocationg that it is not for gain or profit but for recreation. The professor had to admit that he had no hobby, his life had consisted of Work and study. And now the penalty! The trouble with the president and the professor was that they had overlooked the facts that education does not come only from study of books, and that living does not consist exclusively of work. The seven cardinal objectives of education, worked out by the National Education Association and adopted by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, include not only vocational efficiency, which makes leisure possible, but also the wise use of this leisure. The North Texas State Teachers College without neglecting other cardinal objectives is making persistent effort to place before its students materials and activities to meet the demand for a wise use of their leisure time while here and to train them for efficient teaching service along this line. Wie would not discourage any student in his laudable ambition to rank high academically, nor would we commend the student on the other extreme who seems determined not to let his books interfere with his education, but the student who fails to catch the spirit of the materials and activities offered for its development may later see the better things of life go to one who ranks academically far below him.

HE major purpose of the Department of Education is to give meaning and application of the subject matter courses of the other departments of the college. In this phase of the college work the student has an opportunity to select Whichever particular field of teaching he chooses. He may take the methods of teaching in the senior high school, the junior high school, the intermediate grades or the primary grades. In every one of these divisions a good number of courses are offered and taken advantage of by the students of Education in the college. The Department of Education gives to the student all the fundamentals and principles of good pedagogy, and then he has a chance to apply and use them for himself. This chance comes in the Demonstration School. In this school, a student teaches his major subject for a certain period of time. He teaches under a critic teacher, who points out to him his bad points and how he can improve them. This scheme or method in the Education Department is one that has had a great deal of success, both to the faculty and the student body. It causes the student to get actual teaching experiences while he is still in school. This is a great advantage, and it causes the student to be a success as a teacher in almost every instance. As Well as principles and applications of pedagogy, there is a course in the philosophy of Education offered in the college. This course is a very interesting one, and more students are taking advantage of it every year. Page Z6 aa if s Ea.:.f-p.1:.:iEr ' . . M , . Q ,a-as .cc A . -. liilg, lill Fi-ss. L 3'J '1?'! .
