The University School of Education has also provided, through its summer school, unusual facilities for teachers who desire to learn how to handle special cases of illiterate children who are non-readers or non-spellers. This work has at- tracted educators from all parts of the Union. Dean Henry Sheldon received his B.A. from Stanford, his MA. in l897, and his Ph.D, from Clark in l900.
