THE STOUT INSTITUTE FACULTY NORMAN C. ZH MANN. B.S.. M.A.. IfMtructor of Speech Howard Hoving lectures as his English class listens intently . . . Machine shop theory is explained to the students by George. Social Science One sunshiny morning in November, Johnny Bluedevil slipped quietly into the 9 o ' clock section ot History of the Americas, ami seated himself in the back row so that he could not be seen. An excellent panel discussion was in progress: Should Alaska lie admitted as a stater Pro and con were discussed thoroughly and then the whole class entered the final discussion. The fine social atti- tude displayed in the group learning pleased Johnny very much. Speech Deportment The Stout Institute, although unique in part, is similar to many other colleges in that it maintains departments for cultivating the student ' s personality. Just this year, Johnny was able to take advantage of the newly organized Speech department. Under the direction of Mr. Edward Palzer, and with the assistance ot Mr. Norman Ziemann, the Speech department has become an integral part of student life. In addition to the three regular speech courses offered with the cumulative purpose of helping prospective in- structors to make a more adequate contribution to the school system in which they are to teach, there are several active play production classes which assist in the production and putting on of plays at Stout. Public speaking, personality development, group activity, parliamentary procedure, and little theater organiza- tion form the basis of the active, newly organized Speech department. Woodworking Department Next Johnny Bluedevil visited the woodworking department. Woodworking was found to be among the origi- nal courses in industrial education at Stout, At the present time the woodworking department offers courses in hand woodwork, machine woodwork, cabinet work, carpentry, general woodwork, general materials, woodturning, de- sign in furniture and case work, mill work, millwright) ng, saw fitting, institutional production, cooperative wood- work in industry, general finishing, painting and decorating, and patternmaking. These courses provide the student with a well-rounded curriculum in this department. Johnny was very interested in the many uses of wood and its application to the teaching of Industrial Education.

Science and Mathematics As Johnny Blucdcvil continues on his way, he comes to Dr. Anne Marshall ' s physiology class. He has a won- derfu] time witching the girls work on their cats. In the adjoining room, he finds everybody ' s family history on the bulletin board for Mr. Arncson ' s class in genetics. This is very helpful when it comes to looking over all the girls ' family backgrounds. All at once, a terrific smell fills the air. At first, Johnny doesn ' t know what it is. Then he realizes that Miss Cox, or Miss McCalmont ' s, chemistry class must be making hydrogen sulfide. The smell is just too much for him so he hurries outside, where he meets a friend who invites him to go to his math class with him. As he enters Mr. Rich ' s algebra class, he is very much impressed by the mathematical equations on the board and by the slide rules the students use. On the way out, he sees some classes busy with batteries, electrodes, oscilloscopes, and other technical looking equipment. This, he is informed, is a part of the physics classes under Mr. Tustison ' s direction. Johnny now leaves the Science and Math Department— very impressed with The Stout Institute ' s science and mathematics department. The fundamentals of carpentry is one of the haste things that is taught in general nooduor (. Mr Anderson explains a fundamental using a model. Ceneral met funics core ' s such phases as leather, plastics, ceramics and several other phases of worlt related to in- dustrial arts. Two Students ret cite help from Mr. Krun- zuseh in lc-ilher.
