To teach is but to learn, and though learning might seem an end, it is only a beginning. The prominence of this quotation is representa- tive of the broad educational procedure, and is carried out through the progressive functioning of the School of Education and Psychol- ogy. A major concern of this school is to offer those courses in educa- tion and psychology required in the preparation of teachers for ele- mentary and high schools. A second major concern is to give basic training in the field of psychology for the student who will continue his worlc in graduate school, pursuing advanced degrees in this field. A third major concern is to serve other departments of the college hav- ing special needs which are usually met by professional schools of education, psychology, physical education, health education and recre- ation. Fifteen undergraduate departments, areas and special services are included in the School of Education and Psychology, each of which has an administrative chairman or director. They are: Conservation, Natural Resources, Elementary Education, Health, Industrial Arts, Library Science, Physical Education, Psychology, Recreation, Second- ary Education, Therapy, Audio-Visual Education, George I-lurst Lab- oratory School, Reading Clinic, Special Education Services, and the Division of Extension and Correspondence. duration and P5 clrology They taught the skill of Teaching, and having learned, the teacher imparts the skill to the mind.

The focus of our Work: The Family and im- proved Personal and Family Living. DEAN DR. BERTHA M. FRITZSCHE Perfectionist in Living A 3 It The Curricula and courses in the Division of Home Economics are planned to place emphasis on improving family living by preparing students for homemalcing and for vocations which will further the improvement of living within the family. Students may select jamor areas, and or electives from the offerings in this division. The Division of Home Economics is organized into six departments: Child Devel- opment, Clothing and Textiles, Food and Nutrition, Family Life, and Housing and Home Management. Majors are offered in child devel- opment, clothing merchandising, clothing and textiles, institution man- agement, teaching homemalcing, home-economics extension service, home economics in equipment, and homemalcing. A two-year schedule which leads to a certificate is offered for school-lunch managers. It has been said that a woman's place is in the home, and we, in our adolescent maturation, have found this to be inevitably true. How- ever, this woman should be trained in the arts of homemalcing and child care. The intricacies of understanding, preparing, and directing our fellow-adolescents has become a function of education and learn- ing, and which is so adequately performed by the School of Home Economics. e ivifion 0
