The English Department The work of the English department of the Iowa State Normal School is .somewhat more varied in its character than that of similar departments in other institutions of learning, owing to the fact that in this school the literary society work is a part of the required and accredited English, and, consequently, under the supervision of the English faculty. As a result the student is more or less under the care of this department throughout his entire course — from the time of his first scheduling day when, with reluctant feet he goes to the room of the spelling examination, until he breathes a breath of relief over the delivery of his last society oration. From the nature of its work this department must be brought into very close relationship with that of public speaking and oratory, which is discussed in an- other article. In addition to the Grammar section under the cart of Miss Mamie F. Hearst and Miss Eva Gregg, the work in other branches of English language and liter- ature is supplemented by the supervision of rhetorical divisions and professional societies by Miss. Margaret Oliver and Miss Carrie Parker, and the care of the ten regular literary societies, by Miss Jennette Carpenter, Miss Mary E. Sim- mons and Dr. T. W. Todd, with Dr. W. W. Gist as advisory member of the committee. A single term’s work for a student in any one of these societies consists of one recitation, one esvsay or written production and one exercise in debating, all of which must be reported for approval or criticism to that member of the Eng- lish department who is the regularly appointed critic for the society represented.
