Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Mr. £llphin Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Miss Litchen position when they have completed their semester of work in the Training School. Do you have a regular text book for your student teachers, and do you have other reference roadings for thom? No, practice teaching is exaculy what it is termed - the student learns by actual teaching experience rather than by reading abort... it. My student teacshcre sither have had a sourse in methods with me, or they are taking thi: methods course at the same tine that they are doing their practice toeehing. From this methods course they know tools, devices aid procedures. They, of course, are re= sponsible for all materials assigned to the Oread students, and keep up on the current literature both in the field of method and of their special subject mattor, How many student teachers do jou szpervrise in the social sciences? IT have nine this semtstor «- thrse in each of the three classes which I supervise. Miss Litchen, do you not think that the Department of Physical Edu- cation and that of Social Science have a great many cbjcctives in common? Yes, I do feel this, First of ail; you aim at health. We do this in the social studies - not only whe healsny body but the healthy body well adjusted to today's corpiicatsd sovial living. We both aim at broadmindedness ~ you probadly call i+ sportsmanship, while we call it tolerance. We both aim for intelligent, able participat~ fon in activities, at functional citizenship. There are many other ways in which our aims are related ~ atter oll, both of our depart~ ments accomplish our aims by living with our stuients, whether they be the Oread students or our University practice teachers. Miss Litchen, what do you expect to accomplish in your work of social science? That is a pretty broad, question, Mr. Allphin. We can only begin to touch on it in so short an interview. But if I had to sum it up in a brief statement I would say that my hopes for my work in the social studies are all built into one principle - that of aiding the pupil to adjust more readily,,more edequately, and more happily to an ever-changing, increasingly complicated social world. In other words, I would be happy in my work if I were to feel that each of my pupils left my classroom more able to cope with the daily problems of living. : Mr. Allphin, you supervise they boy's physical education pro- gram at Oread, the University's high school, do you not? That's right, Miss Litchen. I have held that position since the fall of 19326 Mr. Allphin, of what do your activities for tMe Oread students consist?
