The play, a new idea in illustrating economics, was acted by members of the class. Visual aids in the form of film strips were used for the first time this year in the Sophomore Principles of Economics courses taught by Mr. Sloan and Mr. Calvert. The films use charts and illustrations to present economic theories. Two new courses, Insurance and Taxation taught by Mr. Sloan and Taxation and Public Finance taught by Mr. Calvert were introduced in the department after a lapse of several years. Under economic topics the new course, Manage- ment and Work Morale was taught by Mr. Schanck. With 158 majors in the department itself, 446 students enrolled in economics courses during the year. Of the approximately 75 graduates this year, some will go into business for themselves or with their familyg others will find em- ployment in industry. About 15 are contemplating graduate work and a few plan to go into teaching and coaching.

06 A7LlWL8lfLf6Ll 2 QCOVL QP? Comprising one of the largest departments on campus, the elementary, secondary, and graduate educa- tion groups are assembled under the title of Education de- partment. A book of poems written and illustrated by the mem- bers of the language arts class has been the oustanding fea- ture of the elementary group for the year. Along with the poetry writing, illustrations to aid teaching have been made. These illustrations take the form of projects such as fractional aids for arithmetic and puppets to help in oral and creative expression. A story hour for chilflren was conducted weekly under the leadership of elementary education majors. Secondary education majors learn in their classes to make tests, lesson plans for classroom use and some stu- dents are placed in charge of the class for a day or two. This initiates them for later classroom problems of presentation. Dr. Everett L. Handy is in charge of the graduate pro- gram for the school. The graduate school for this year had on its roll 104 students taking courses in guidance, school law, clinical testing, diagnostic and remedial reading, and various related Helds. Sixteen of this number are full time students while the rest of the group are teachers and princi- pals who enter classes held during the night sessions. This year, in both the elementary and secondary educa- tion departments, prospective teachers observed in schools in surrounding towns and later taught for weeks in the schools. While three or four lived at home to do their stu- dent teaching, others commuted to New Castle, Hickory, Farrell, Sharon, and New NVilmington schools. Ninety- two were sent out during the year for this teaching exper- ience. Elster C. Shortt A B., NVillia1n and Mary, A, M., Virginia, Ed.
