Rapid Development Has Marked The KU School Of Education

More than 2,000 elementary school teachers and 5,000 secondary school teachers have been trained at the University in the past 41 years. Graduates are in teaching and administrative positions in every state in the union and in many foreign countries.
The school was formed in 1909 under the direction of Prof. Arvin S. Olin and Charles H. Johnston, first dean of the school, with the purpose of giving professional training to prospective high school teachers and administrators.
Today the school includes in addition to these training for elementary school work, graduate study, and special service units for the state and surrounding areas.
The School of Education had its beginning in a department of pedagogy in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Today after 41 years as a separate unit of the University, it can boast of a school which has an enrollment of 530 students, with 101 graduating this spring.
In addition to the large number of high school teachers and administrators, more than 2,000 elementary school teachers have taken correspondence work from the school within the past 10 years.
In the past 5 years more than 2,000 students, mostly elementary school teachers in service, have been enrolled in the University extension courses.
More than 35 full-time instructors are assigned to the various programs within the school. One of the significant developments in recent years which has proved to be of extreme help to the state and surrounding areas has been the establishment of service units whose dual purpose is training on the campus and service to and in the public schools of the state. The units include such services as the bureau of educational research, curriculum laboratory, reading laboratory, and teacher's appointment bureau.
In the earlier years, there were only four high schools in Kansas whose work was regarded as satisfactory by the University. This number has grown tremendously in recent years, due to the work of the
however, has done yeoman service in the history of education in Kansas.
Aside from the school's business proper, his work includes state committee activities, high school and college visitation, membership and activities connected with national associations of education, student advertisement, and program planning.
Recent work done by the school has been under the leadership of George B. Smith, the present dean of the school. He was dean of the school from 1941 to 1942, after which time he went on active duty with the army.
At present, the school is planning on bringing the various service units and programs together. When the new science hall is completed, several University buildings will be reassigned. The School of Education will move to Bailey Chemical laboratories, giving the school an adequate home for the first time.
Although the school has been preparing large numbers of elementary school teachers for many years for service in the schools of Kansas, it has never emphasized a large four-year undergraduate program for such training.
During his time in the army, 1942 to 1946, the school was under the leadership of J. W. Twente. Upon returning to the University, Smith was again named dean of the School.
The new requirements of the State Board of Education prescribe that a training program for teaching in the elementary schools be available to undergraduate students who wish to be certified for professional service in that field. The School of Education is cooperating with them by including such a program in its plans.
The school already includes in its undergraduate program a major's training for teaching in academic

high school subjects, physical education, home economics education, business education, music education, and art education.
Students meeting all requirements receive a bachelor of science in education, or a bachelor of music education and bachelor of art education degrees, and are certified by the state board of education for teaching in the schools of the state.

Students are registered in the College or the School of Fine Arts for the first two years and in the School of Education for the last two. Physical education majors register in the School of Education for all four years.
In the Graduate school the department's programs lead to the master of science in education, master of education, specialist in education, doctor of education, and doctor of philosophy degrees.
School of Education in providing adequate leadership for high schools.
After three years of experimentation with teacher training in the actual school systems, the results have been so good that the school has decided to close the University High school on Friday, June 30. They wish never again to confine the teacher training to a single campus unit. The University High school.
Evidence of such leadership was the establishment of University High school as a place for experimentation, demonstration, and as a practice teaching unit.
In recent years seniors in the School of Education have done practice teaching in public schools with the cooperation of the school boards and staffs in nine communities surrounding Lawrence. The students who are doing practice work are in the schools all day, each day of the week, for six weeks. This pattern is believed to be far superior to the former plan of "one hour a day" practice at the University High school.

"A very funny film"
"Best laughs of this or any year"
Here's what the critics say about this one...
These programs are planned to train superintendents of schools, high school and grade school principles, counsellors and guidance workers, master teachers, college and university teachers, evaluation specialists, curriculum consultants, and many other types of educational specialists.

The new training programs for speech corrections and teachers of the deaf illustrate the continuing variations in their programs. These programs represent cooperative ventures with many departments of the University and the University School of Medicine.

Dean Smith feels that "the School of Education has many responsibilities, not the least of which are those to the undergraduate students, the University as a whole, the profession of education, and the schools of the state."
"Every effort will be made by the school to train the best possible teachers and specialists for services to the children of Kansas. Service to the schools, schoolmen, and women through graduate training programs, especially through our various service units, will be expanded and adjusted continuously to meet ever changing needs."

Revere 'Voice' Calls People To Church Each Sunday
Woodstock, Vt.—(U.P.)-The "voice" of Paul Revere still calls folks together in this Green mountain town.
Mr. Revere is best remembered for the midnight ride he made from Boston to Lexington, Mass., calling the Minute Men together to fight a British task force during the American revolution.
He also was noted, however, as a silversmith and maker of balls, four of which in the Congregational, Christian, Universalist and Episcopal churches here ring out each Sunday morning.
