KATHERINE E. DOPP. Katherine E. Dopp is a native of Portage County, Wis.. and a large part of her school life has been spent in this state. Her first schooling after leaving home was at the Oshkosh Normal in the Elementary course. After this she taught in Elkhorn and other towns in the state, and then returned to the Normal to complete the Latin and English courses. After graduating, she spent two years as training teacher in the Academy at East Greenwich, Khode Island, from which place she went to the University of Michigan where she received the degree of bachelor of philosophy. Her next appointment was at the Oshkosh Normal, first as critic teacher of the intermediate department and later as teacher of theory. From here she went first to Moline, 111., to become principal of the city training school, then to Madison, South Dakota, as director of practice in the State Normal, and later to Salt Lake City as a member of the faculty of the University of Utah, having charge of the training department, where she remained until she came back this year to Oshkosh. Siiss Dopp has shown herself to be a strong student in many lines of work, but received her chief impetus in the department of philosophy at the University of Michigan, under the direction of Prof. John Dewey. After the latter bad gone to tiie University of Chicago as head professor of philosophy and pedagogy, she continued work with him. and has been in close sympathy with the various movements in which he is interested. For some time she has also been working in the department of anthropology at the same university. From the above, it will be readily seen that Miss Dopp has had unusual opportunities to see the problem of the training of teachers from both the normal and the university point of view. When to this is added the fact that she has a strong sympathetic nature and a readiness to grant to a student full opportunity to carry out work in such a way as to give free scope to his own personality, it is not strange that the many students who have come under her influence value greatly what they have gained. 13

 EDNA CARTER. Miss Edna Carler, the new assistant in the department of physics, comes to us admirably equipped and trained for the work. Her home is Oshkosh, and she obtained her early education in the schools of this city, graduating from the High School in 1890. In September of the same year she entered Vassar College at Poughkeepsie, New York, and after a four years course graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1894. Wishing to remain at home a year after so long an absence, she entered the Oshkosh State Normal School, taking up only the professional work, and receiving the diploma with the class of 1895. During the succeeding year she was assistant in the High School, at De Perc, Wisconsin, where she taught sciences and mathematics. At the close of the school year, she resigned her position at I)e Pere, and returned to Vassar College in the fall, where she had been called to teach. She remained there for two years, assisting Dr. Cooley in Physics. The next year she took up advanced work in her favorite science under the instruction of Professor Michelson at Chicago University. Miss Carter is a woman of a quiet and strong personality, and already her iniluence has extended throughout the school and won for her an honorable place in its faculty. 14 t
