Although something of a palace, the stamping ground of the scribes is still known as The Shack. It is a school for scandal, a clearing house for politics, a resort of loafers.

Since the Boxer Rebellion, China sends a specified numljer of young men to this countrj ' as a part of her payment, and Washington ha.s been highly favored by its representation of these students. In connection with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, advanced students in the College of Busines Administration have been making surveys of the numerous industries of the State.

College Of Education T ' ' HE College of Educatiou has increased To an euiolhnent of 2.000 students this year, wliieh is just double that of a vear ago. There are some L ' Oli majors in the depai ' tmeut. aud a teaching force of six instructors. The class rooms and offices are on the second floor of the recently built Home Economics Building, and include a n-ading room and library for the students. The library has been established vith the cooperatiou of the students, aud con- sists of TOO volumes and I.ihki jiamphlets in the reading room aud uumerous other books in the general University lil)raiy. It is tlie aim of the College of Educa- lion to fit its graduates to be competent and successful high school teachers- and prin- lijials. and to that end if offers cadet work in the Seattle secondary schools, whereby l)rospective teachers are given an opjiortunity I ' m- observation and practical experience in conducting classes. A unique card-index system has been installed by Dr. Frederick E. Bolton, dean of the College, by means of which he can ascertain at a moment ' s notice the classification of every student enrolled in educational work, just what work he has taken, and his grade in the same. The Vocational Department places approximately .WO teachers a year, and keeps a record of their work until the terniination of the 22 months necessary for a life diploma. According to Dean Bolton, most of the teachers remain in the work until they have secured the life diploma, regardless of whethei- or not they are married. In additioti to the work at the I ' niversity, the faculty devotes con- siderable time to instruction in the best methods of presentation of studies. The professors are called upmi to give numerous talks to idininniiiiics wliicli have problems to solve in the matter of child welfare. l niiig the past year a series of lecttires have been given in ' ancouver.
