1 Q Pedagogy and Psychology Whatever claims the other departments may make, the Department of Education can truthfully say that this course constitutes one of the distinctive phases of Normal School training. The practical aspects of this course are at present being closely scanned. Never before has there been such need for men and women trained from a psychological and pedagogical point of view for leadership in our schools. This shows the necessity of an intensive study of the science of mental phenomena and also its art as applied to the work of the schoolroom. Mr. Small and Mr. Farley fully realize the growing importance of this field of work, and strive to show in terms of the present the work of the inner eye. or the sixth sense. Close observation of human nature has given them a keen sense of its strength, and of its weakness, and has made them able to suggest solutions for difficulties that may arise. A. A. Farley I’h.K.

The importance of these languages is shown by their increased use in the modern world. Especially is this true of French since our relations with that country have been welded together by the bonds of a common aim. Dr. Adler takes entire charge of the teaching of German. Although there has been a decline in the popularity of this language during the past few years, he has upheld its worth. Through his teaching, its cultural value has been retained. H. A.

THE QUIVER Literature and Language Rose C. Swart Josephine Henderson Ellen F. P. Peake A.M. University of Wisconsin A.B.. A.M. Allegheny College A.B. University of New Brunswick The work in this department includes two phases, the academic and the professional. Through work with Miss Swart in Language Arts, Miss Bagley in Grammar, Miss Henderson. Miss Stafford, and Miss Morley in Composition, the intellectual sense is developed. They give us the apperceptive basis necessary to relate the work given in the academic field to the professional work in the classroom. However, this department includes more than the practical study of colorless form. Students are also led to an appreciation of the beauty therein—beauty reflecting the color, the rhythm of the world at large. Our sympathy and power to understand life, with its shadings, is broadened, the tones are blended, and there comes a deeper feeling for and insight into life's beauty, and a greater capacity for real pleasure. The reaction to this emotional appeal brings with it a deep inner consciousness of cause and effect. This consciousness becomes a guiding hand directing our actions along the path which leads to moral strength. Harmonious tones and soft colors clothe deep truths and beautiful ideals, which, through the efforts of Miss Peake, Miss Bagley, Miss Morley. and Miss Stafford, our teachers of Literature, consciously or unconsciously set the standard for high altruistic conduct. r Ruth G.
