EN, GE. HI has it: MI' I, HGY ctinillq LOFTON V. BURGE mining Scboofs Western's rapid growth is Well illustrated in the development of its training school units. ln its initial year the Training School had three grades and was located in the Methodist Church House and the Y. M. C. A. The next year, l905, it was transferred to Vine Street School and in the fall of l909 it was moved to the Training School Building on the campus. The school so increased in size that by l9lO it included the first eight grades. Starting in l9l2 the high school was added, one grade at a time. This complete school system was organized as a distinct unit in 1915. ' By an act of the State Legislature Portage Center Consolidated School became one of Western's teacher training units in l923 and in l924 Richland and Paw Paw became affiliated with the college. ln all these systems the classes range from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. An additional unit which affords practice teaching opportunities for students is the one room Hurd School. This year further development was made when select rural education students went into country schools in southwestern Michigan for six Weeks of full time teaching. Western's training school system is supervised by Dr. Lofton Burge. His duties also include the maintenance of a placement bureau for seniors and alumni. This bureau has been very successful in serving Western's graduates and adds much to the success of the entire train- ing school program. 2l
