WILLIAM R. CARTER Starting off the Victory Parade of Spotlight Gardeners in the School of Education is Dr. Carter. When not de- veloping the behavior of his Howers and vegetables he revises his rules for the upbring of children. He is also the mas- ter quizzer who give the proficiency tests. ELEANOR TAYLOR After a long search we finally found a member of the faculty who has no hidden ambitions. Completely free from frustration Miss Taylor finds horseback riding a great source of pleasure, and she indulges herself in this enter- prise every day. Yes, she too gardens. Page Z7 HOMER MCCALL The roads men follow into their individual professions are wide, and the reason Mr. McCall drifted into teaching seems to be that the closest college to his home happened to be a teachers college, and he got the habit that way. He was forced into victory gardening with the War, and he is eagerly looking forward to taking up his golf when the war is won.

xrnr 'Y EDUCATICDN Theo. W. H Irion, Deen Work was first offered in Education at the Uni- versity of Missouri in 1856. At this time Professor Sterling Price, J r., was appointed Normal Professor and Instructor of Greek. This first venture in teacher-training was short lived. The department was suspended in 1859 and was not re-opened until two years after the close of the Civil War. At this time the Board of Curators appointed Professor E. L. Ripley of Michigan as principal of the College of Normal Instructionf' The department went through several other reorganizations before it took the form of the School of Education in 1909, at which time Dr. W. W. Charters was elected Dean. The present dean of the school, Theo. W. H. Irion, was elected in 1930. All student teachers graduating from the School of Education receive practical experience teaching in the University laboratory school which consists of all grades from kindergarten through high school.

The School of Journalism is unique among col- leges and schools on the campus in that it is the first school of its kind in the world. The founder, the late Dr. Walter Williams, first dean of the School, was a man of simple habitsgbut yet a man known and loved in every nation of the world. Dr. Williams believed in the laboratory method of teaching journalism. It was his conviction that the only way to learn the professional side of newspaper work was for the student to write for an actual newspaper. S JQURNALISM Frank I.. Mott, Dean Dean Williams also believed that a journalism student should have a solid background of cultural subjects before he is subjected to journalism. It was for this reason that a two-year course in Arts and Science is required before a student can be ad- mitted to the school. Frank Luther .Mott is now at the head of the Jay School. Students know him both as a dean and as an instructor. Page Z8
