Subjects which exemplify the ideals and activities of society serve best in meeting these two objectives. Commercial education with its broad scope of subject matter, admirably fulfills 'ill of the requirements of education. C. M.

55 5-Es 1 MINNEISKA rzrrzesiavv x EQES? il' EE ,- I .J 'I TRAINING SCHOOL DEPARTMENT The Training Department is the center around which the several courses are organized. In this department, students have an opportunity to observe good teaching, to discuss and evaluate various types of procedure, and to actually teach and man- age classes. These first steps in ,teaching are taken under the direction of supervisors who assist in the solution of the daily problems of teaching and management. The supervisor's greatest asset is the student teachers' final success. INTERMEDIATE-GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT The Intermediate-Grammar Department aims to train teachers for the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. XVhile the development of subject matter of a very practical character is afforded, the underlying principles of education are studied, and student teachers are given an opportunity to practice in the grades best adapted to their abili- ties. There is no two-year course published that offers greater opportunities for training, teaching success, and advanced credits on transfer than the Intermediate-Grammar Course. W. P. ROSEMAN RURAL COURSE As long as we retain the district system of school government, young people to reign in the little red schoolhouse will be in demand. The law requires at least one year of profes- sional training. For this, the Rural Course exists. This current year, forty-two men and women have elected to take this shortest, but most difiicult path, leading to financial independence. lf teaching means developing capacity to work, these students will in a few years be classed among the world's workers, for operating a rural school is real work.
