THE educational world has wakened to the fact that “specialties” have come to stay; no school of today is entirely without its training in music, drawing, manual training, and physical culture, and the majority of schools have added domestic science and manual arts. The Oshkosh Normal is exceptionally well equipped for training in these lines. Miss Hannah M. Cundiff is the director of music, assisted by Miss Ropes, who drills the model department. Those students taking the professional course are taught the various phases of musical technique that will aid them in teaching. But the influence of music has gone beyond the class room, and a ladies quartette and a large glee club of excellently trained voices are the result. It is the ambition of the music department to have its influence felt wherever possible in the furthering of the appreciation of beautiful music. If it has succeeded ever so slightly in this endeavor, the allotment of time cannot be said to be wasted. Miss Moulton and Miss Smith have practically the same aim in the department of art. The training received under them prepares supervisors of drawing, besides developing taste. Miss Carter and Miss Lane are supervisors of the physical education department for the young women, and Mr. Meyer for the young men. DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS May B. Moui.ton Chicago Art Institute.
