School of Sdiication THE School of Education is the arm of the Unixersity especialh ' charged with the professional training of teachers. It was started at the University of Texas in 1891 as a department in the College of Arts. In 1905 it was set apart as a separate school. The present School of Education was created in 1920. The first professor of E!ducation was Dr. Joseph Baldwin, who was succeeded in 1898 by Dr. Wil- liam S. Sutton and Dr. A. Caswell Ellis. The present faculty of the School numbers 19 professors and instructors, and the students registration is approximately 1700. Comparative statistics show that the School of Education at the University is the largest of its sort in the South. Advanced and graduate students are coming here from all nearby States. There is every prospect that it will develop into the leading training school for teachers in this section of the country. The School occupies one of the most modern and attractive buildings on the campus; in which its offices are housed, to- gether with all its classrooms and laboratories. Practice teaching is now done in connection with the Austin Public Schools. Efforts are being made to develop an experimental school on the campus under the direct control of the Education facultv.

Students ' Association THE Students ' Association includes all students of the University. Student Self-Government, the Machinery ' VT H of the Students ' Association, through its ramifications, affects 1 ' phases of student life. Aside from minor administrative ■ units. Student Government consists of three regular branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. The President, Vice- I , 3H President and Secretarj ' -Treasurer of the Students ' Associa- V ' m tion compose the executive branch; the Students ' Assembly is the legislative branch; and the Men ' s and Women ' s Councils compose the judiciary.
