/ notice you mention Education Or
Normal courses. Just what does this
meant
1t means that we give here training
lin Psychology, Special Methods in
School Management, History Of Edu-
estion, etc. II a student takes twelve
hours of this work during the two
years above high school and completes
the remainder Of the full two years
work she is granted by the State De-
partment at Jefferson City q three
years State Certificate for teaching
in the public schools Of Missouri.
These courses have proved TO be ex-
ceedingIy valuable to many students.
We are also very much interested
in your Play Groundwork. Just what
does this mean?
1t means that students who take the
Play Ground course can take charge Of
students In public schools during their
recess periods and direct thoir games
80 that the students get the most out
Of them. A good supervisor Of Play
Ground work prevents all rowdyism
on the play ground.
Are you giving a much attention 70
special departments as herctofore7
Certainly. Piano, Voice, Violin,
Pipe Organ, Expression, Art (draw-
ing, water e%oIors, oil. china painting,
etc., Harmony, History Of Music are
all being carried at this time.
Can students enter at this time with
profit? Can teachers whose schools
are to close at this time, or soon enter
with profit?
Certainly. Some fifteen students
have already entered for the second
semester. Some Of these are teachers
whose schools have already closed.
Others are writing in about work.
Any high school graduate who has had
a good course in Psychology can take
work in our Education Department
the second semester. So many have
entered for Botany that that depart
ment is almost overloaded. We are
having to divide the class into three
sections. The History classes are open
and are exceedingly valuable. Child
Psychology a be had in the Religious
Pedagogy Department. A Shakes
peare course can be had, and it is be-
ing just as well given as in any uni
versity. Teachers who care to may
review in the Classics or Modern Lam
guages, although new classes are not
being formed. Persons interested
should address Hardin College, Mex
leo, Missouri.
