This three hundredth anniversary oi the establishment of the institution that has developed into the modem high school marks a new mile stone in the forward march of education. It has ever been the aim of Central State Teachers College to keep abreast of the educational times, and, to that ond, tho college is extending all of its curricula, with the exception of the two year curriculum for the training of teachers of rural schools, to four yoars in length, and so shaping its courses that its graduates may enter upon graduate work in the State University without loss of time or credit. It is significant that your Alma Mater is keeping step with educational progress. Her best wishes will go with you in all tho good work you do, fully realizing that in you she lives. Yours sincerely. F. S. HYER There is work to be done In the blaze of the sun, And Its call sounds a challenge to you. There are woak men who dream, There are shrewd men who scheme But the task waits the man who can do. The above quotation implies that those who most dillgontly and earnestly prepare themselves for useful work will find their services in greatest demand. All important roles in the drama of life will be assigned to those whose capabilities have been most fully developed. Sincerely, H. R. STEINER 10

The event of greatest significance In the Grammar Division this year Is the abandonment of all short curricula. This means that all new students entering school alter the close of the coming summer school who desire to prepare themselves to loach In the Intermodlato and Junior High School grados. will enroll in tho regular (our year curriculum designed to prepare them for that work. Upon the completion of this curriculum the student will receive the regular Bachelor of Education degree and will be eligible for North Central rating Just as tho graduates of any othor standard university or college. Not only will our graduates be eligible tor North Central rating, but their degree will admit them to the graduate schools of any of the universities and colleges here in the middle west. This change is Indeed a long step in advance and has been made necessary by the demand of superintendents and school boards for grade teachers with more and more training. It is tho consummation of a movement that got under way soon after the close of the World War. C. F. WATSON What has this year at college meant to you?
