j—B== J THE QUIVER History and Political Science L. W. Brigcs F. R. Clow A.H. Carlcton College Ph.IX Harvard When a student of our school places the subject .of History or Political Science upon his program, he is assured of gaining much knowledge and practical information. Especially at the present time, when history is in the making and new problems of government are arising every day, he cannot escape seeing the high need these subjects meet. They familiarize him with many phases of the development of the world and its people. Modern, European, and Ancient History, together with the development of the state and the causes of change, political and otherwise, knit into one great whole the past and the present. Miss Pieters and Mr. Clow have charge of the History Department, and Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Briggs the Civics and Political Science. These four instructors, who have these vital subjects in hand, are noted for their judicial turn of mind. Page 20 Aleida J. Pieters A.H. University of Michigan W. C. Hewitt It. Pd.. M.Pd.

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.

— a — THE QUIVER Science Our Science Department comprises courses in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geography, all of which claim a foremost place in the Normal school departments, because of their practicality, their functional value in the world at large. At the present time there is a tremendous demand for teachers of chemistry and technical chemists in every line of industry. Each year a large number of men leave to carry on successful work in the industrial concerns or as teachers in high schools. That they arc able to do so is due largely to the efforts of Mr. Frank, who gives our students a thorough training in the fundamental principles of chemistry. Mr. Fling has charge of the Biology Department. With the splendid new equipment with which this department is well supplied, he helps his students to a knowledge of all living things. Mr. CIcmans makes us aware of and teaches us how to apply many principles of physics and agriculture. As Wisconsin is an agricultural state, these things are very necessary in the education of its teachers. Since communication has become so extended, the science of distribution becomes of vital, growing importance. Mr. Mitchell gives us a new sense of our manifold relations to all parts of the world. F.
