T7ROM time to time we attempt to formulate anew our ideals of - education. American schools and colleges have been dedicated to the democratic principle that education is for the betterment of the many and not for the training of a few selected leaders. It is highly important in this country that this fundamental concept of the purpose of education be kept clear. No more serious mistake could be made than that our institutions of higher learning be organized and administered in the interest of the select. Education in our country must have as its objective the improvement of the intellectual and ethical perspective of the great mass of our citizens. We do not need holders of worlds records: we do need the intellectual and ethical elevation of all. It will be recognized that the stability of our political and social systems is dependent upon a trained and disciplined citizenry, not so much in the science of making a living, but in the art of living itself. Education must be concerned with the larger values in life. It must enlarge the circle of interest, enrich the inner life and deepen the feeling of civic responsibility. The most sinister feature in the life of the American people today is their cynical contempt for law and government and the evident purpose on the part of great classes of our citizens to use government not as an instrument of justice to all. but as a means whereby some class benefit may be seized. The American student entertains a high type of loyalty for his institution. This is one of the splendid things connected with student life. The fine and enthusiastic support of loyalty which these young men and women have for their college has its chief significance in the kindling of these sentiments in the lives of the future citizens of the nation.

THE COLLEGE THE River Falls State Teachers College was established in 1875. the fourth institution of its kind to be established in the State of Wisconsin. It consisted of one building located on South Campus. At the time of its origin the school had a faculty of nine members and an enrollment of two hundred fifty-nine students. During the first thirty-five years that it was in operation, the majority of the students were enrolled in elementary departments that did not require high school graduation for admission. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1897. The building now known as South Hall was erected in 1898. and until 1914 this building housed all the different departments. In 1914 North Hall was built. The executive offices, auditorium, gymnasium, and science laboratories were all located in this building. An addition to North Hall was added in 1928 and the training school department was moved from its old location on the third floor of South Hall into this new addition. More adequate science laboratories were equipped on the second and third floors, a modern swimming pool and large locker rooms were constructed on the first floor, and a hand ball court was built in a room adjacent to the gymnasium. The barracks which were erected during the World War have been used since that time for shops for the agriculture and mechanics department. However, the state legislature has made the necessary appropriations, and plans are now under way to erect a modern shop building on South Campus just west of South Hall. It is the plan of the committee in charge to have the building completed and ready for occupancy at the opening of school in September. 1930. Many changes have taken place in the curricula since the school was first organized. The policy of specialized courses was introduced in 1910. This came as a result of the demand for teachers trained in some particular branch. The rural department was organized the same year. This department requires one year of attendance for graduation and has grown until at present there are forty-eight people taking the training which prepares them to teach in the rural schools of the state.
