THE DEPARTMENTS THE department of elementary education, which consists of primary, intermediate, and grammar grades, requires two years of attendance for graduation. The primary department prepares teachers for grades one to three inclusive. The intermediate department prepares teachers for grades from four to six. and the grammar department gives preparation for the seventh and eighth grades. One of the advances made in elementary education during the last few years is the course leading to the bachelor's degree in education which is now given at River Falls. In the junior high school department each student is required to prepare to teach two related subjects. Students who have completed a three-year course and who should decide to work on toward their bachelor's degree can complete their work for a degree in one year and a summer school. A very complete training school system has been organized which provides facilities for practice teaching and experimentation in the various types of schools. Two hundred twenty-five pupils are enrolled in the campus training school. A new training school building was completed in 1927. adding much to this department. Practice teaching is conducted in the River Falls City High School and other adjacent high schools under the general supervision of the members of the College staff. A Smith-Hughes department of agriculture is maintained in the high school under the direction of the college department of agriculture. This department is utilized fully for observation and practice teaching by senior students preparing for work in the Smith-Hughes high schools. The department for training rural teachers is now supplying a large portion of the teachers for rural schools in the territory surrounding River Falls. The college has two rural courses, enabling students to take either the one or two year course. The school also maintains four one-room rural schools which are used for observation and practice work.
