DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Zechiel, Platner, Schmidt, Frampton, Childs Gahlbeck, Hayes, Fullerton CI-Ieadj, Doolittle The Department of Music in the Teachers College is conducted with two distinct aims in view: One is to fur- nish the finest musical training for the most musical stu- dents, the other to use to the highest possible limit all opportunities to level up the musical appreciation and the musical power of the mass of students. This policy has been practiced in the College and in extension work and recommended for general use in the state. H Theaim of the department, to do creditable work in music before asking for credit for music Work, has re- sulted in a steady development and furnished a demon- stration of safe procedure for public schools. To give to school music Work the benefit of the best educational thought and practice of the time Without say- ing too much about the principles underlying it all, has been a constant purpose in the department. The development of musical power by using, generally, music itself as a means rather than by using wearisome exercises has led the way in the pioneer work that the department has done in Standardization Tests and llfleasurements in lVIusic by means of the phonograph. i w X 1 I Q Q, I li: l , , ill i, l l i, .xii R ii ip , ' in i : i . y :Ml 1 Ili I ll l illll A J , , i ,r, 3 llli ' ,lu i :fill ill it will ,5 lil. if lllii if iii 3 lvl Ml' i i will i :il 'L if l ui I illlf li ,Milt QM' 3 All li W1 ii W, Si W N ,i my 1 l1 bill!

JOHN BARNES, M. A. LAURA E. FALKLER VV. B. FAGAN, M. A. MARY F. HE:XRST, M. A. BERTHA CAMPBELL, M. A. N This departm-ent has three chief objectives, which are closely interrelated. These three aspects of our work appear in each course, the differentiation of courses depend- ing upon which part of the general aim receives chief emphasis. One of these aims is the development of personality and culture through study of the writings of noted authors. Another is improvement in the power of self-expression, whether written or spoken. A reciprocal relationship exists in these phases of our work. One can not express thought and feeling impressively until he has attained suilicient development of mind and heart to demand force and beauty of style. On the other hand, practice in expressing noble thought increases ability to think on high levels. Motivatiiig these two aims is the distinctive purpose of the college, namely, to prepare teachers. Never out of mind is the thought that it is our primary duty so to instruct and train our students that they will be worthy exemplars for the children whom they will teach and that one of the chief qualifications of a teacher is the ability to express in good English thoughts that spring from a strong, beautiful character.

GENEICE HoLL1s, B. A. The Department of Physical Education with its three branches of service, namely, the Student Health Service, Physical Education for lVIen, and Physical Education for Women, has for its separate functions the maintenance and advancement of the phys- ical welfare of the college students, the providing of recreational activities, and the preparation of teachers to meet their responsibility for the health welfare of children and their need for bodily exercise. This latter is done in a general way for all stu- dents in their required physical education courses and, in a special way, by the admin- istration of a curriculum intended to prepare special teachers of Physical Education and by the offering of Coaches Training Courses. The men's department has ad- vanced greatly the past year in this respect, also a few new courses have been added, as wrestling and boxing, to extend the types of work available to rnen. The women's department has for many years offered a broad curriculum. The department purposes to carry forward its aims with its best efforts, believing that a nation's real resource- fulness lies in the underlying physical well being of its every citizen and that the child of to-day must, by the help of the school, build now for the citizen of America's future. - Page Thirty
