STUDENT EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION The Maude McBroom Chapter of the Student lowa State Educational Association centers its activities around its six purposes. These purposes are: l. To develop an organization that will be part of state and national education associations to young people prepar- ing to be teachers. 2. To acquaint teachers in training with the history, eth- ics, and program of the organized teaching profession. 3. To give teachers in training practical experience in working together in a democratic way on the problems of the profession and the community. 4. To interest the best young men and women in educa- tion as a lifelong career. 5. To encourage careful selection of persons admitted to schools which prepare teachers with emphasis on both char- acter and scholarship. 6. To seek through the dissemination of information and through higher standards of preparation to bring teacher supply and demand into a reasonable balance. To fulfill these purposes, the organization met monthly. The informality of these meetings has drawn its members together as they worked together in broadening their knowl- edge of their future profession.
