 CHE basis of all education is a sound body, and in view of this fact Oshkosh Normal has taken every possible means to give her students a good physical education. The work of this department consists in two quarters of regular gymnastics and folk dancing, while a third affords an opportunity for the students to show their abilities as teachers The fourth quarter is devoted to children’s games and exercises, with lectures once a week on simple emergencies and th r physical well being of the child. t the head of this department is Miss Fisher, assisted by Miss Bromberg, who not only oversee the work of the regular classes but also oversee the work of the practice teachers who teach gymnastics. The department of manual training is organized and equipped in such a manner as to give good training to the young men and women who expect to teach this art in the public schools of the state. The course is three years in length, although five years of this work may be taken here. The instructors and supervisors of practice in this work are Mr. Summers and Mr. Crucnhagen. In the department of Art the pupils receive many of the fundamental ideas needed in the department of manual training. During the twenty weeks' work of this study, the main principles underlying the representation oi objects are taken up. Much time and thought arc given to perspective and to pictorial representation of light and shade. Miss Moulton is at the head of this department and is assisted by Miss Smith. The department of Music both in the Normal proper and in the training department • is under the direction of Miss Curtis and Miss Monroe. This course is composed of work in vocal drill, expression, theory, ear training, and cultivation of appreciation for the beauty and power of music. R. E. Gri'kxhacks University of Wisconsin. L L.
