SCHOOL OF GENERAL
EDUCATION

Education is becoming increasingly a
science. Correlated with this tendency
is the movement away from mass edu-
cation toward an education based upon
the capacities, interests and needs of the
individual. ‘The results of this shift
are to be seen in the attempts to re-
define the objectives and to modify the
methodology of education. “The possi-
bility of doing so is to be discovered in
the efforts of the scientific educator to
discover the degree and type of the in-
dividual’s educability, to know more
clearly and to measure more exactly the
processes of learning, to secure more
reliable data regarding the laws and
conditions of learning and to devise in-
struments for intelligent control and
measurement of the educational proc-
esses.

EpUCATIONAL PsyCHOLOGY AND
Menta. HycIEnE

‘The courses in Educational Psy-
chology and Mental Hygiene which
are being offered in the Summer School
of Springfield College by Dr. Wiesle
seek to acquaint the student with the
materials, methods and findings of the
new science of education. The former
_ considers the nature, methods and prob-
lems of the science in their relation to
the educational task. The latter utilizes
the facts of the science in the endeavor
to understand the methods and condi-
tions for developing and maintaining
a healthy mind. Both courses will con-
sist of lectures on and discussion of the
specific problems of the respective fields.
‘The experience of students will be used
as widely as possible for purposes of
illustration and application.

‘These courses carry graduate credit.

CoursEs IN FRENCH

Under the personal direction of Dr.
Emile J. Palisoul, a native of France,
the College is again offering an unusual

opportunity to students in both branches
of the Summer School and others to
take rapid courses in French.

In the beginners course the aim is to
emphasize correct pronunciation and to
take up as rapidly as possible minimum
essentials of grammar. ‘This course will
enable the pupil to begin to read rela-
tively easy French prose and poetry.

‘The intermediate course is designed
to give more comprehensive instruction
in grammar and syntax with exercises
in analysis and composition, emphasiz-
ing oral expression.

‘The advanced course is conducted
entirely in French. It is designed for
advanced pupils and teachers who have
already some speaking knowledge of the
language. Oral expression will be
stressed, for which a good opportunity
will be offered in the reading of mod-
ern French plays in the French noon
luncheon club which will probably be

organized.
CONTEMPORARY EUROPE

Professor Mohler will conduct the
course in Contemporary Europe which
will cover the major problems of the
day.

What changes are taking place in
Europe subsequent to the World War?
‘To what extent is Bolshevik Russia
reaching her objectives? In what way
is Europe being affected? Is the Ger-
man Republic on a firm footing? What
are the aims of Mussolini? What about
minorities, the League of Nations, naval
and land disarmament, reparations,
interallied debts and the proposed
United States of Europe? .

Questions like the above will be dis-
cussed and special account will be taken
of the participation of the United States
in the affairs of Europe since the war.

‘The text to be used for a portion of
the term’s work will be Buell’s, “Fu-

rope, A History of Ten Years.”

DrRAMATICS

Professor William T. Simpson will
offer a course similar to that given in
connection with the University Exten-
sion. It will include instruction in
acting, directing, stage management and
the Little Theater organization. Short
plays will be produced by members of
the class and public presentations made
before students of the Summer School.
Professor Simpson has long been asso-
ciated with the professional theater as
director and actor and is now in charge
of the dramatic department at the Col-
