education MISS STELLA AUSTERUD DR. M. WIEDERAENDERS How to be a first class teacher in about eighteen to thirty-six months of hard labor in studying and practice teaching. If the schools of our country are ex- cellent in curricula and opportunities, the future teachers of Wartburg may well be proud of the training they are receiving. Educational studies including reading, children ' s literature, school management, geography, methods and child psychol- ogy are in the hands of Dr. M. Wieder- aenders, head of the department, and Miss Stella Austerud. LA BONNA HARTWIG IRMA ORTH
