THE QUIVER Physical Education Gymnastics in the Norma! School has always been a subject which has appealed to the majority of the student body. It has developed into one of the largest departments of the school through its extensive practical and theoretical work. The practical work for the young women includes free standing gymnastics, games, and folk dancing. The theoretical work includes lectures on postures, value of physical training, its place in the school curriculum, and elementary treatment of emergencies. Emphasis is laid on observation of Training School Classes. School room conditions are assumed and work to suit these conditions is given. The vital points underlying the teaching and presentation of the subject arc put forth in this course by the two excellent instructors. Miss Lane and Miss Hyde, who conduct the classes for the young women. Self-development through athletic training in gymnastics and apparatus work is stimulated by work with Mr. Meyer, who has charge of the young men. He has established a system of gymnastics and athletics which reaches every man in school. Our athletic teams are under his coaching. Mabel W. Lane Marie Hyoe Wellesley College, State Normal School.

Rose Polytechnic Institute University of Wisconsin University of Indiana Home Economics Every department has been brought to a fuller realization of its importance in the political, social, or economic world because of the present war. In none, however, has this realization been greater than in Home Economics. The present demand and the high cost of the necessities of life make it absolutely necessary that we live scientifically. The fundamentals of life are food, shelter, and clothing. It is under the guidance of Mrs. Bolinger, in the department of Home Economics, that the proper principles and standards of these fundamentals are being developed. The young women who take this course are able to sense deeply what it means to Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Mrs. Grace Baker Bolincer B.S. Lewi InMitute, Chicago Paue 25

G===D ===== THE QUIVER Training Department The fun-loving youngsters of the Training Department are living up to the Normal School standard during the temporary unpleasant conditions in true military style. The department is under a bombardment from the hammers of the workmen, but the pupils lend themselves to the excitement of it all with as much stoicism as the men on the firing line. Mr. Glotfelter wisely directs the work of the entire Training Department. The barracks is divided into three main rooms, Kindergarten. First and Second Primary, and the Intermediate Room. Miss Rose is critic teacher in the Kindergarten; Miss Merritt in the first primary; Miss Trotter in the second primary; and Miss Cadwallader in the Intermediate Department. The supervisors are iMiss Smith in the first, second, and third grades, 3nd Miss Dickinson in the Intermediate department. The slogan of the barracks is “Quiet Halls. The children take great pride in making their school as orderly as a soldiers’ camp. The Junior High School is supervised by Miss Marvin and Miss Boucher, with the assistance of Miss Radley and Miss Doyle. The classes in the Junior High are fifty minute periods. This allows time for a supervised study period, and the five steps in teaching, i. e.. preparation, presentation, assimilation, organization, and recitation are put into practice. A five-minute recess follows each period. The High School Department has a self-government system. A list of rules for conduct has been drawn up by a committee representing the members of every class. Like army discipline, punishment falls heavily upon those who think lightly of matters involving personal responsibility. To become aware that this department is alive to its finger tips one needs only to read The Junior Advance. It reflects the military precision with which each department pushes forward its work of developing well balanced American youth. J. H.
