E. L. WALTERS Duuzcroa The Department ol Secondary Education The Department of Secondary Education includes those programs of study and training outlined for the preparation of teachers in the public secondary schools. At present there are three curricula in the division, namely, a three-year course for junior High School teachers, a four-year degree course for junior High School teachers, and a four-year degree course for Senior High School teachers. The programs of study in this division have as their foundational objectives. CU broad scholarship, C21 dynamic and integrated personality, and Q35 pro- fessional trainingg and it holds that the greatest of these is personality-the sum total of all ones reaction traits. lt seeks to secure this personality through orientation courses in which desirable teacher traits are itemized and a procedure for their development is emphasized, and through programs for student partici- pation in variety of social and recreational activities in the college. Broad scholarship is insured by care in selection of the core requirements and the in- sistence upon either two academic majors, or one major and two minors. The professional training is built around a program. in which theory and practice are united and special methods developed by study with the critic, while observing and participating in teaching situations. The graduate of the degree courses in this division are admitted to full graduate standing in neighboring state universities. The graduates are eligible to teach in all North Central Association high schools. The broad general educa- tion and major and minor arrangement required in this division was this year highly commended by representatives of the North Central Association. This department has grown from an enrollment of 37 in 1921 to an enroll- ment of 185 in 1931-2. This is an increase of 500 per cent. The major fields are Science, Social Science Cincluding Historyj, English, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages. The minor fields, in addition to the above are Music, Speech, and Physical Education.

Bachelor of Education. The first. the so-called Physical Education Major and 'DN Academic Minor Course, aims to till a. lon -felt need in the hi h schools of the l . g . 3 . . state, insofar as graduates therefrom are certihed to teach an academic subject besides d1recting the physical education and doing the coaching of both major ri and minor athletic activities. The second, the Supervisor's Course, aims to J qualify graduates to act in a supervisory capacity as well as to direct the physical education, and to do the coaching in. junior and senior high schools. The supervised student teaching phase of the student's preparation is especi- all stressed. A semester's course in Observation and Partici mation recedes the Y . . . . 1 P . 5 'ear of actual su ervised teaching in the Public Schools of La Crosse and in the 5 1 i P A Q, A T Training School of the Teachers' College. T La Crosse State Teachers' College boasts of thorough-going lntra-Mural T Pro0'rams for both men. and women. Practically all students in the Ph s1cal l , b . . - y l lLClL1C2lf101'l Department are members of either the W.A.A. or the M.l.A.A. At . the time of graduation, most of the physical education students have been instru- T mental in organizing and administering the Intra-Mural Programs. and are i fully capable of organizing similar programs in junior and senior high schools. l The comprehensive Inter-Collegiate Athletic Program affords the men of K the department not only active participation but invaluable application of the 1 intensive coaching courses offered and experiences which will be a dlrect aid in 5 their coaching and directing of high school athletics later on. gil ii: ,... 255235,Q-F3532?T?:KfEfz12'A?L-551-,ua . .. ..-,gzisfz 2 y1f,3.4f.e.f,lEE. :Q.:a1,2p-1 jcgf.4srfs.:g1 5'f fl - U page Fm, L 7,6-itibi- :hTj7i.,.1.r.-T.-T,y:y'l1f:.,, f..t..l..,.t...i:i,x,,.S....a...B3 ,, s f ' R

Lil 2 r EMERY VV. LEA M ER DIIRECTOR The Training Department The Training Department in the College consists of a kindergarten, an ele- mentary school of grades from one to six, and a Junior High School of grades seven to nine. The work in the training department in the college is supple- mented by use of schools in the city of La Crosse, city schools, state graded schools, and rural schools in the region adjacent to La Crosse. Observation lessons are given regularly. Students in training are inducted into the work of teacher through a carefully organized participation program which precedes a semester of half-day practice teaching in the elementary grades or a year of single practice teaching in the junior or senior high school. Besides the work of teacher training, experiments in education are carried along by some of the supervisors. 1 The training school supervisors visit Field schools, and held school teachers are invited to visit the training school. A very definite program is working to bring the Held schools and the training department into closer working rela- tions. NF. C A x l A.. . s.
