Law has always been considered one of the learned professions, and at no time in he history of our country has the need of thoroughly trained lawyers, with their professional training erected upon a broad and deep foundation of a thorough academic training, been more needed than in this complex machine age. ?c. s. c.? Teachers Held In High Esteem By Various School Heads School Of Education Seeks To Enable Graduates To Surpass Required Standards The training of competent high school teachers has been the major aim of the School of Education for a number of years. The success of its graduates is attested by the high esteem school superintendents hold for the product of this important division of the University. The School of Education, housed in a modern building with modern equipment, provides courses for undergraduate and gradute students in both the regular session and the summer school. Its facilities arc freely used by students and by tlie teachers of the state. The University High School, operated in the Education building, makes possible the study and practice of modern methods of teaching. Its observation and demonstration features arc open to teachers generally. Opportunity for research and study of educational methods and problems is afforded by the Education library, which contains a large collection of professional books, pamphlets and magazines. A rental library service makes easily available, with little cost to the teacher, recent discussions of the problems and difficulties of teachers and superintendents. The rental list includes also books of interest to those who like to read generally on durational topics.

S C LIBERAL ARTS S OFFERS Ml Curricula Of Modern Colleges Ha Recent Years To Meet N< Must The late Doctor Carlisle used to say that if a farmer boy learned Greek, even tho he went back to the farm, he could plow a better furrow. This statement incorporates the ideal of the traditional liberal arts college. Mental training is in itself good for the individual, and will express itself beneficiently, both in the acts of the individual, and in his more abundant participation in, and enjoyment of life. One can best occupy his position in society, when he best understands the social organization in which he is to take his place. Subjects, courses, curricula have been ordered, therefore, not with a view to immediate utilization, but rather to giving the student useful information about himself and about the social and physical world around him, and training him to make combinative use of data in the process of reasoning. A slow but steady evolution has been going on for a number of decades in the direction of altering and adjusting curricula to a closer correspondence with modern conditions. This change has shown itself in a wider latitude for exact and social sciences. It is also manifested in the making of textbooks. Thirty years ago, a typical textbook would have questions based on the text, in which the answer to each question would be found. Now the questions cannot as a rule be answered verbatim from the text but require some powers of deduction and reasoning in the process of answering. In spite of these changes, however, the liberal arts college of today insists upon the imparting of basic knowledge about ourselves and about our civilization and the ability to see the relation between one and another set of facts. Hence our educational system is a tremendously conservative force in modern life. The present relative conservatism of America is based, more than is generally realized, on the breadth of education and educational opportunity. The school of arts and science of the University represents the ideal of Y's Handbook To Come Out Will Appear Next Month Will Elect Editorial Board This Week; To Print 5,000 Copies The )".s Bird, handbook of the University for high school graduates will be released some time next month, instead of during the summer months, according to R. G. Bell, executive secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. A11 editorial board for the handbook will be chosen some time this week and it will proceed immediately in getting out 5,000 copies. Every high school graduate in the state will receive a copy. In past years, only 500 copies have been printed but this year Mr. Hell has decided that 5,000 shall be printed. The handbook will be without advertisements. It will be made possible by Columbia merchants. A dummy has already been compiled by Mr. Bell. The different sections will be placed in somewhat the following order: Greetings from the President, Freshman camp, Important dates, Information about the University, As one freshman to another (random remarks of a freshman), How to apply for a degree, courses offered, University scenes, directions to freshmen, graduates and jobs, activities, advantages of Columbia as a school home, How much it will cost, literary societies, V.

Booklets recently prepared include such titles as "Cheating," "Waste of Illiteracy," and "Teaching of Special Classes and Problem Children." The curriculum of the School of Education is designed to prepare intelligent young men and women with the teaching personality for effective service in the schoolroom. Practice teaching is an integral part of the program of instruction. Of especial interest to Education I Davis Davis College which contains th< Romance Languages Departments of tl Study Of Moth Basic L Two Years Of English Required ] Department Is Ls Univ< The study of the mother tongue both as a language and the literature of two great nations is basic in the curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences, two years being required for all academic degrees. The department of English is naturally the largest in the University, with an enrollment this year of 551 young men and 352 young women, a total of 903 students. The English staff consists of twelve experienced instructors, two of whom arc women. Six hold the Ph. D. degree, and three others have completed the residence requirements for it. One, the venerable Doctor Currell, for many years professor at Washington and Lee, and later president of the University of South Carolina, has an honorary L. L. D., and Professors Wauchope, head of the department, and Babcock possess Litt. D. S. Doctor Smith is dean of the Graduate School and Doctor Elliot is dean of Women. Doctor Babcock is Director of University Extcntion. Mr. Epting and Mr. Brown are members of the legislature. These twelve men and women hold degrees from Oxford, Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Washington and Lee, Davidson, Randolph-Macon, and other institutions. They have been members of the summer quarter faculties of Vitginis, Peabody, LelandStanford, etc., and have published several hundred books, monographs, bulletins, and book reviews.

It is the gateway to all learned professions. It is generally conceded that the more training in the liberal arts a student can get, the better doctor, lawyer, minister, teacher "lie will be?for that matter, the better merchant, farmer, business man, engineer, artist, etc., and certainly the better citizen. Economic pressure has played its part in the development of curricula. Subject matter of courses has been therefore adjusted as far as possible to the requirements of special training. The student preparing for the practice of medicine is given the scientific and linguistic training best suited to his future needs. So with the courses leading to the study of commerce, education, engineering, journalism, law, pharmacy, all of which courses in the University of South Carolina represent a basic training in non-technical, cultural subjects such as mathematics, English, foreign languages, literature, history, exact and social sciences, art, etc., plus technical and specialized training in these various fields. The typical Freshman is not certain in his own mind whether or not he wants to enter into any special field of training during his college course. He encounters problems of various kinds on which lie would willingly seek advice. To meet this condition the University has a system of counseling by which each Freshman is assigned to some member of the faculty. He is here encouraged to make known all of his difficulties, and is aided in fitting himself into his environment and in maknig his choices and adjustments. In the higher classes this function is performed by the major professor; that is, by the professor under whom the student does his most intensive work. Not only in the school of arts and science, but throughout all schools and departments of the institution, the closest liaison between the instructor and student is cultivated. ?T? students and graduates is the Bureau of Appointments, an employment service operated by the School of Education to furnish confidential information to school superintendents in search of good teachers. The methods of the bureau have met with the approval of superintendents and have produced excellent results for graduates.
