DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH S. A. Lynch Head In the English department there are two major lines of work, English and Speech, which are closely interrelated. The prac- tical objective is the cultivation of the abil- ity to speak and write English acceptably in any professional or social situation. There is also a cultural aim which calls for an extensive acquaintance with English and American literature. In the Speech major the main objective is the develop- ment of personality through intensive study and oral interpretation of the best in liter- ature, and through expression of original thought and feeling in various forms of public address. Actuating all the work is the desire to prepare students to become teachers with adequate knowledge and superior skill. Hack Hoi- : Mi » Terry. Min Florence Freeman, Mrs. .Tone .

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION A teacher should have a good foundation of general culture on which to build her special training—the Department of Edu- cation aims to meet these demands as far as possible. The members of the staff come to their work with special equipment obtained in many colleges and universities, enabling them to give a wide and wholesome inter- pretation of professional service. Higher standards of character, scholarship, and training are continually demanded of those w ho would teach. From this point of view, the work of the Department seeks to be alert to the best educational thought, that the schools of Iowa may obtain the most efficient service from those sent from these halls. - 5 Z G.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND COMMERCE The science of Mathematics is the out- growth of the efforts of human beings to orientate themselves in the world in which they live. All science in the final analysis becomes mathematical in nature. A basic clement in the modern movement in Math- ematics is the training of teachers who will live and work under the inspiration of this conception of the science which they teach. The training of teachers of commercial subjects is in a transition stage. The prac- tical values of the subjects which they teach have had and will continue to have the major emphasis. Teachers College has always maintained a high standard in this field of work and has every reason to be- lieve that the future is filled with promise of greater successes. A. Back Re-: T. S.
