Dear Dr. Allens:

The Women's Physical Education Department would
like very much to have the opportunity of placing practice
or cadet teachers in the public schools. At the present
time our majors have no practice teaching with the element-
ary school children; all of the work is done at Oread High
School, We feel that the major student needs to have some
practice teaching with the elementary school children be-
cause a number of them are going out into such positions.

Also, the fact that our senior majors are growing
in number makes it difficult to give each individual senior
as much real teaching experience as we feel she should have.

I would suggest the possibility of two hours practice
teaching in the public schools and two hours in Oread,

When Miss Rich checked over Mary Learnard's educat-
ion credits for graduation, she found Miss Learnard needed
one more hour for graduating. She suggested that Miss Learnard
be permitted to do an extra hour of practice teaching. We
would like to have her do that hour in the elementary schools
this spring if it is possible. Miss Kennedy of Pickney and
Miss Simmons of Cordley would be very glad to have such cadet
teachers in their schools,

Sincerely,

b2d Shleoen..
