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.

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.

' lii ' « i College Of Pharmacy I ' ll ' III. . ' llllrk OX Jiilv ioih ol ' ihi.s 3ear the College of rhaimacy celebrates its L ' Gth birthday. The pill rollers ' have a bit of interesting history in back of their beginning. In 1893 the first movement to provide the University with instruction in Pharmacy was started. On July 10, 1S94. after a gi-eat deal of red tape, the School of Pharmacy was actually installed in the University. Professor Charles Hill was appointed acting dean during the first year. Professor C. A ' . Johnson, present dean, took charge of the school in 1003. He was made dean in 1004. And with the years Dean Johnson has seen the school grow — grow from an enrollment of 27 students to 124. the present enrollment. Working faith- fully in the Chemistry Building, dubbed the Chem Shack, these students experiment, turning out all kinds of interesting lotions aTid medicines. In close cooperation with Dean Johnson are !Miss Edith llindman and Professor Arthur W. Linton. Miss llindman is instructor in Pharmacy and assistant state chemist and bacteriologist. In 1009 the legislature of the state created the position of state chemist at the University and made the dean of the College of Pharmacy ex-officion state chemist. Since June 1. 1900, 11,211 samples of various materials, submitted by the state officials, have been examined in the pharmacy laboratory. ' isitors to the camjuis exclaim over the large field of medicinal plants which are set out. The garden is under the supervision of the College of Pharmacy. The area and scope of the garden have been gradually extended, until the college now has a very complete collection of medicinal plants. The Bureau of Plant Industry of the Ignited States Department of Agri- culture has detailed a specialist in scientific drug cultivation to be stationed at the college to manage and supervise the garden.
