Under his supervision the bulletin, Trends in Education, has materialized into a printed copy in place of the mimeographed material brought out at first. He has been working with the government on a test covering the U.S. Constitution.

Roseman supervises practice teachers and gathers them together every Thursday night for conference. He also does a great deal of placement work. Mr- DHSSEYY Mr. Roseman Mrs. XVheeler
