In this course a brief but comprehensive view of the entire field of education is given to acquaint the pupil with the nature of the problems in each field, so that the student may choose his field wisely. Courses in Psychology are then given to enable the prospective teacher to analyze and interpret the nature and behavior of pupils of various ages with whom he will be expected to work. The remaining courses give the prospective teacher a more thorough in- sight into past and present trends in education, so that he may formulate definite ideas concerning the needs and procedures in education. As a final step, the students study the technique of analyzing deficiencies in children ' s abilities and methods and technique of effective instruction in prepara- tion for practice teaching, guided by the supervisors and the director of practice teaching.
