The Faculty Bearers of light, Guides of that vast potentiality Called Youth, Light well the path. Illumine nays Where halting footsteps pass— Uncertain, wavering, And afraid. Diffuse the light The mighty glow of which Was once only a flickering torch, Gripped in the teacher hand of him Who walked through tunneled walls, Amid the darkness, With momentary glimpses of the truth. Seeking a heritage For unborn man. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY 1916-1936

 State Teachers College Education The purpose of the Education Department is two-fold: to offer courses in Education and to provide supervised practice teaching in the Training School. The course of study therefore has been planned to begin with courses in the basic principles of Education in all its aspects, to lie followed by courses in the technique of teaching and special methods in the various subjects. Basic courses are History of Education, General Principles of Education and courses in Educational Psychology. Following this group of basic courses arc Technique of Teaching, Tests and Measurements, School Administration and Statistical Methods in Education. To round out this work, one year of practice teaching is required of all Seniors. Mr. Brewer, Mr. Fox, Mr. Donaldson, and the Training School critics are the instructors. English In addition to the basic two-semester English courses given by Muss Oxby, Miss Hansen, and Miss Macdonald and required of all students, the work of the English Department covers various fields: speech, dramatics, and a wide range of literature. Dr. Davenport has charge of dramatics and is a coworker with Mr. Donaldson in declamation, extempore speaking, reading, and oratory. Mr. Murray teaches literature and directs the publication of both the Periscope and the Spectator. He also conducts classes in English Methods. The Teacher-librarian course is given by Miss Buchholz, head librarian, and her assistants, Mrs. Thompson and Miss Miller. Sociology Sociology is designed to give the student orientation in the social sciences and a working system of thought about society. Social Problems, a more advanced course, is an intensive study of problems of American society. Rural Sociology, required of Rural Course students, is similar to the regular sociology course, but stress is placed upon rural dwellers and their problems. Dr. Schneider teaches Sociology and Social Problems, and Mr. Hornback, Rural Sociology- History The History Department has a double aim: to teach History for the students’ personal development, and to prepare students to teach History. New survey courses in History have been added this year to keep up with the modern trend and to give students, even those who are not majoring or minoring in History, a broader historical view. In order to achieve the above aim, courses in English History, United States History, Modern History, Wisconsin History, Greek Civilization, Roman Civilization, Medieval Civilization, Survey of Ancient and Medieval History, and History Methods arc offered. Miss Sutherland, Dr. Schneider, and Miss Vine Miller teach most of the History courses. Page Fourteen
