 rih(g- The Training School The purpose of the Training School is to make the students who practice in it a group of very efficient school teachers, and to present practical class room problems for solution by the student teachers. The new training school building has been started, and will be ready to accommodate the entire training department in September. 1929. It will be a two-story structure. On the ground floor will be a large gymnasium which will also be used as an auditorium. The kindergarten, the manual arts and the home economics rooms will also be on this floor. The second floor will be given over to the junior and senior high school practice rooms, science laboratories, and a library. The new training school under Mr. Herrick's supervision will be able to raise the already high standing which our school has. Our graduates will be able to cope with the problems confronting them when they go out to teach, and our students will have the opportunity to put into practice the theories and principles of education expounded to them in their classes upstairs.

Dean of Men The young men who have attended C. S. T. C. have left their Alma Mater with a multitude of happy incidents subject to mental recall. Not the least of these enjoyable experiences has been their acquaintance and friendship with the Dean of Men. Prof. H. R. Steiner. Prof. Steiner invariably impresses the young men, with whom he comes in contact. as an adviser carrying the attitude of a companion. No fellow has ever hesitated to bring matters to him for consideration; no fellow has misgivings as to the advisability of consulting him when troublesome incidents have arisen. He has always examined cases from the standpoint of the young man himself; he has passed judgment after the same fashion. No more certain evidence of his youthful point of view is existent than the fact that he confidentially recounts his own collegiate pranks and projects. Deans who play and joke with the constituent members of their group are by no means all prevailing; it is extremely fortunate that C. S. T. C. is able to boast of a companionable and exceptionally efficient adviser for its young men. Mkrhkrt R Strincr Stevens Point Normal University of Wisconsin. I’h B KJ

t-f j I f Home Economics Home Economics is very rapidly growing throughout the land. As a vocation it has quite successfully established its prominence. Our Home Economics Department is one helping to broaden the Home Economics field. Its previous graduates show their appreciation and realization of the value of the work for their teaching career, as this is the trend of the aims of our department, by returning to get a B.E. degree and a wider scope of knowledge. It is a purely degree course now, although there have been a two year and a three year course offered in previous years. There are these graduates who have received their diplomas, but come back for degree work. From here they take up responsibilities all over the state and even in other states. Under the kind and experienced guidance of our Director, Miss Allen, our department is striving to finer standards. To her we owe many of our ideals and standards which will be more fully appreciated later in our lives. We also owe much to Misses Wilson and Church for their helpful direction. We are hoping that we can go out and show with our best efforts due appreciation of all concerned. Hkssik May Allrn Iovi State Teachers College. Graduate Columbia University. B. S.
