COLLEGE LOOMS
FOR TEACHERS

Plans for a teachers college in the
District OF Columbia are being made
the subject of 4 great deal of inquiry
ana research by special committee
of school officials.
Teachers colleges all over the
country are being studied by the COM
mittee, and they at the same time are
incorporating the ideals and past
work of other similar committees in
other parts of the country into their
present work, it is said. Many ques-
tions have beset the committee. One
of the first raised was the advisable
Ity of making a course of such thor
oughness that 1t would require extra
space for the pupils. Another is con-
cerned with the number OF instruc.
tors needed. Probably the prime
question that has been raised Is the
question Of curriculum in the new
college.
DIR. Frank w. Ballou, Superinten-
dent of Schools, is chairman OF the
committee and has been active in col
lecting the work of other like col
leges for comparative purposes.
Other members of the COMMITTEES
are s. E. Kramer, r. L. Haycock, G,
G. wilkinson, r. L. Hardy, e. A.
