Librcrrg WlLSON, GEORGE, FUNKHOUSER, NELSON The Library is a growing one. Al- ready considered the finest profession- al library in the Northwest, it is con- stantly being increased by the addition of new volumes. These new books are discriminately chosen with a view of offering the students the best and most comprehensive material ' possible in all fields of literature. While books of educational history, philosophy and methodfpredominate, it is the belief of the library administration that therex- tensive background obtainable by wide reading, in all the other branches is invaluablelin the training of the pro- gressive teacher. A very complete I re-ference library and periodical room' are maintained and are at the disposal of the students. The Juvenile Library, conducted in connection with the Training School, is most valuable in the actual contact which the students have with- a chil- I dren's library under working condi- l tions. The children find the Library a source of worthwhile interest and l . much reference work is done through it. IN THE .JUVENILE LIBRARY I Bureau of Research I SALISBURY, KOLSTAD The Bureau of Research is organized as a service bureau to the school. A division by itself, it is endeavoring to aid all the departments. During the year the bureau has undertaken work that has served the administration, the faculty, and the students. Data was gathered and prepared for presentation to the state legislators, and a Teaching-Rate scale devised. While these were more directly administrative, the Intelligence and Achievement tests given under the direction of the bureau and the developmentof a grading system are closely related to faculty and student activity. Objective tests, necessary in an institution of this size, are being devised by the members of the faculty and a chart is being adopted by which the scores made in the tests can be related to ability so as to give an index of the quality of effort each student is expending. The Bureau is also endeavoring to assist the student by individual guidance. Intelligence and achievement tests were also given in the Training School and the results used with other data in deciding placement. A more elastic, and therefore more effective, grading scheme was devised. Twenty-five

Courses in elementary woodwork, cabinet work, advanced cabinet work, wood finishing, elementary mechanical drawing, advanced mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, and industrial arts methods are offered for those students who wish to teach in the upper grades and the high schools. The Industrial Arts courses are organized to meet the specific needs of those students who are preparing themselves to teach this subject, although many stu- dents in other department of the school selected one or more of these courses as electives. The department emphasizes a careful study of tools, operations, materials, and processes that are used in providing the daily needs of life. To this end typical units are worked out to give the student an appreciation of the materials and processes that are used in supplying man's needs for food, clothing and shel- ter.
