T BIIWBR yjS College curricula in home economics today are concerned with a study of the philosophies and activities which will help individuals live in the social environment of their home and community groups. The curriculum of the School of Home Economics at The Stout Institute consists of work in the academic, pro- fessional and home economics fields. Academ- ic courses give satisfactory background for the interpretation of the events of today ' s living situations. Professional courses offer oppor- tunities for preparation in those fields of work which are educational in nature, and which vo- cationally are related to the activities of the home. The home economics courses empha- size the social values of some technical skills. I : Dewey ' s statement that all aspects of edu- cation are primarily social is the basic thought underlying the above curriculum. We feel that the organization of this curriculum with the opportunities for extra-curricular contacts at The Stout Institute offers a satisfying col- lege career for the young woman, and it also offers an opportunity to participate in profes- sional or vocational lines of work, and a background for advanced study. The young women completing this course should go out as socially responsible persons in any com- munity. Ri in E. Mn The School of Industrial Education at The Stout Institute offers a curriculum with a range and proportioning of opportunities to give the individual a modern college de- ment. In addition to this, the required courses, plus the properly grouped selection ' in elecdves, give the graduates a preparation to meet the growing responsibilities ,md re- quirements of the teaching positions, of the li- censing divisions of state departments of edu- cation and of the graduate school entrance re- quirements. A tine range of appropriate extra- curricular organizations supplement the cur- ricular activities, and contribute to the well balanced social and professional progress of the students. The graduate is prepared for mod- ern educational responsibility. His development in The Stout Institute prepares him to teach young people and adults, meeting their need in modern changing conditions. It also pre- pares him for advantageous entry in modern industrial situations, if he so chooses. His work in science, mathema: .. .! science, English, education, physical education, and technical courses is designed in range, depth, and proportioning to prepare him for advan- CagCOUS entry and participation in the broad range of activities in our pix tion.

0 s BIIWBK 7J2 Burtox E i lson, President To the Anniversary Class •MIl ( lass of 1952 has several anniversaries associated with this year to make CA the class unique. This is an interesting year in many respects. The thing V J tliu is uppermost in the minds of all students is the fact that this is the bi- ™ Centennial anniversary of the birth of Washington. It is an important even: in national and world history. It should be significant to the class of But that is not all that makes the year memorable. It has special bearing upon The Stout Institute and upon the educational history of Wisconsin. This year vocational education becomes of age in Wisconsin. Twenty-one years .;is summer the legislature passed the law creating the vocational schools of the Twenty-one years ago The Stout Institute became a State school and was charged with the training of home economics and industrial education teachers for the Twenty-one years ago the first compulsory part-time vocational school in any state was Organized and operated in Wisconsin. Twenty-one years ago the first din tional education in America wis appointed and began a study of his problem. With us it should be a year of celebration almost as significant as the other celebration that com- memorates the birth of the man who made this nation possible. The time is near when we may begin the writing of the history of this great edu- cational movement in the state and nation; and when it is written The Stout Institute must shine as a beacon light showing the way to newer and better things in the educa- tion of the Youth of America. The Class of 1952 is fortunate in the possession of these interesting educational landmarks. Burton E. Nklson, Pro.
