Dean Edward C. Johnson COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE T HE State College of Washington was primarily a college of agriculture, and while it is no longer devoted solely to farm problems, it has done a great deal toward agricultural advancement. At present va¬ rious types of farm and field work, as well as landscape gardening, forestry, range management, agricultural journalism, and teaching courses are offered besides subjects allied to agriculture in business. The enrollment this year is twenty-five per cent larger than a year ago, obviously showi ng an increase of interest in agriculture as a business and as a profes¬ sion. The freshman class is the largest class that has been enrolled in the college for nine years. A new greenhouse, to be used for experimental work, was completed this fall. The departments of animal and dairy husbandry have made outstanding records for the year, taking several honors in the cattle shows held in Portland. Realizing that agricultural prosperity is a necessity for the life of the growing population, the College of Agriculture keeps its ideals in mind, yearly training many students to contribute toward making the agricultural methods of the United States outstanding among nations.

Dean Alfred A. Cleveland SCHOOL OF EDUCATION T HE School of Education, established in 1917 to aid in the training of high school teachers, super¬ visors of special subjects, and superintendents, grew out of the department established in 1907 under the same name. In addition to its regular work, the school sponsors two national education honorary fraternities, namely, Phi Delta Kappa for men, and Pi Lambda Theta for women students. The faculty of the school is drawn from a number of leading institutions including Clark University, Co¬ lumbia University, University of Chicago, Harvard University and McGill University. The School of Education is one of the main connecting links between the college and the high school, as well as other schools in the state. Each year a large percentage of students enrolling in education enter after two years of normal training and teaching experience. Each spring the department conducts a High School Conference which is widely attended and at which time some educator of note is the chief speaker. During the summer session, education is the leading major of those enrolled, and the department offers a number of courses especially arranged for principals and superin¬ tendents. The School of Education graduates one-fourth of its total enrollment each year, and is making steady ad¬ vancement in its graduate work. Roberts. Richardson.

Dean Florence Harrison COLLEGE OF HOME ECONOMICS T HE College of Home Economics began this year in its new building, which is modern in every effect, thus offering maximum opportunity for every student, man or woman, who is interested in any phase of foods, textiles, home or institutional management. On the first floor there is a large hospitality room with a service kitchen to be used for formal gatherings and art exhibits. A cafeteria kitchen and dining room will provide opportunity for institutional management ma¬ jors to get practice in preparing large quantities of food and in administering a cafeteria. The Y. W. C. A. office and rest room are also found on the first floor, as well as class rooms, offices of the Research Specialists and the Dean. The Home Equipment laboratory with its electrical appliances and testing equipment is one of the most interesting places on this floor. Ample space is available on the second floor for the textile and clothing laboratories, testing rooms, offices and class rooms. The third floor provides a place for the food and nutrition division. The animal nutrition unit will be established on the top floor; also a large fireplace room for various organizations. Another feature of the College of Home Economics is the Nursery school. Here, observation and experi¬ ence enables students to know the needs, abilities and general reactions of small children, instilling in them ideals and a keen sense of their responsibility regarding the physical and mental development of youngsters. Since education for homemaking is a keynote in Home Economics teaching, it follows that an essential part of such instruction is that most important function of the home, child care.
