Mr. Summers Manual Training Livingston L. Summers was supervisor of Sloyd work in Cuba before coming to Oshkosh. In 1891, he graduated from Grinnell College, specialized in Manual Training at Pratt Institute, and studied in London, Paris, and Naas. Sweden. In spite of the fact that he get» so mad a peaceful atmosphere seems to pervade our popular manual training room. MiSS Potter Assistant Librarian Lucy A. Potter, our assistant librarian, was born in Oshkosh and educated in its schools. She is a graduate of the High School and of the Wisconsin School of Library Science. She is a ray of sunshine in the sometimes dark and gloomy room of l ooks. Mr. Small Psychology Maurice II. Small, one of our most beloved instructors, came to us from the East. He received his education in the public schools and Academy of Wilton, Maine; at Colby University : ami at Clark University, where he devoted three years to a Ph. I), course in Psychology and Education. For some years he taught in New Jersey, prior to coming to Oshkosh in iqo.v If any of us had previously doubted the practicality of psychology and pedagogy, acquaintance with Mr. Small has promptly allayed all misgiving. MiSS Rooney Associate in fiuglish Anna 1.. Rooney was l orn in New York, and attended a private school there, but preferred Michigan for her higher education, graduating l oth from Kalamazoo College and the University of Michigan. For seven years she taught in a High School in that state, coming to Oshkosh in 1903 as assistant in English. We Juniors can vouch for Miss Rooney. Many a poor, shivering lass, late with her essay, has taken encouragement from her kindly smile, and the vision of an additional assignment has sunk into oblivion. Mr. Clematis Chemistry E. A. Clematis was lioro in Clcmansville, in this county, attended the district school there, and graduated from the Oshkosh High School while President Halsey was principal. After teaching two years, he attended the University of Michigan, graduating in 1901. He taught Physics and Chemistry in Ray City and Detroit until coming to Oshkosh in 1906. A broad, fair-minded, and all-around man whom the students enjoy coming in contact with, is our estimate of Mr. CIcmans. Mr. Parley Observation and Methods Allison A. Farley is a Michigan man, but showed his preference for Wisconsin by graduating from Beloit College. From thence he attended the University of Chicago, pursuing there a course in Psychology and Philosophy, and graduating with the degree of Ph. D. Before arriving at his final great distinction, he was superintendent of schools in Iowa and South Dakota. Through his arduous efforts, we sincerely trust that our future pupils and successive generations of Wisconsin will not lie educated without the facilitating use of the Preparatory Step. Miss Moulton Drawing May B. Moulton was lx»rn in Neenah, Wisconsin. Her first work in teaching was done in Oshkosh. After graduating from Pratt Institute. Brooklyn, she was supervisor of drawing in the schools of Aurora, 111. She has been here only since September. 1907. but she has created great interest in the subject of art by her effectual teaching. 21
