School of *Demonstrationi Held On Campus ISAAF Training Display Conducted Last Monday The University Field House took on the appearance of an engineer Ing laboratory Monday afternoon as the USAAF Educational Demonstra tion Command of the Fourth Air Force, Atlanta, Georgia, staged a program for educators. Present were many of the University professors as well as officers of the Navy unit. The purpose of the program was to introduce the Army Air Forces' method of teaching and to demon strate operation of many of Its training aids. The teaching technique of the AAF was formulated by General Hap Arnold and Mr. Studebaker, who also organized the program for demonstrating to civilian educators these same techniques. Captain Wellman, AAF, in charge of the unit which staged the dem onstration here, and who received his degree from Columbia Univer sity, is author of a book on psychol ogy of teaching. The Forces divides its training exercises into two parts. prelimi nary study to be accomplished he fore class, and practical work to be accomplished during class. In order to facilitate preliminary study, an outline is provided in six secttons: purpose, references, pre requisite knowledge, supplementary technical (aInt, diagrams, and ques lions. The practical work is divided into equipment, procedure, ques lions. and inspection of exercise by instructor. An iinlovation in instruciing is tle utilization of chatact ers hy Dis ney to simplify tlie functions of complivaled mechanisms. Among those used in tihe electrical field, are Charlie Current, Richard Resistance, t%nd Victor Volt. Putting to full use the visual aid training prosram. the AAF has a daylight viewhox, which is put out at a construction cost of $9.04. This box is made of plywood. and Is about four feet long. It has accom modation for any size projector, and operates on the principle of a mir ror in hack which reflects the Images onto a frosted glass in front, The main advantage of this view box are that shades do not. have to he drawn nor ventilation cut off in order to make the pictures visible. The AAF now has In its possession obsolete equipment and equipment beyond economical repair which it Is making available to educational , institutions at packing cost. Verifi cation has to be received that this equipment is beinig used only for InstructIonal and denmonst rational purposes.

Bradley, hearing the ret,urn address of Lt. Harry E. Davis. The'paper was the first edition of a publication to be edited by the American Armed Forces in occupied Germany. In large, hold black letters the name-plate shouted "Bayrischer Tag" which Dean Bradley translated for me as "Bavarian Day."

Parolinians Aroll1ment Hundred Provision was made by the Gen ral Assembly in 1919 for a School >f Commerce at the University. Eso ablished in response to the grow ng demand for training along vo -ational lines, its aim is to give a Droad, scientific training in prepar ition for a business career. The sub ieets included in the curriculum qave been chosen because of their 'itness for this purpose. The study of accountancy and its related subjects such as commercial law, investment mathematics, audit ng and federal tax procedure have uOways been emphasized as the back bone of the courses, and its grad. uates have alway. been In popular demand by business concerns throughout the state and the South, The School has the unique distine tion of having trained a larger pro. portion of its graduates who have successfully passed the American Institute Examinations for Certified Public Accountant than any other School of Business In our Southern Universities. A chief factor of the success of the School of Commerce Is the per manence of its faculty, the majority of whom are Carolina trained men and women. They have demonstrat ed throughout the yeaIrs an abiding faith in the future of sound busi ness training at the University and i steadfast loyalty to Carolina. Their work and faithfulness have contri buted much to the building of a great school here In the University. Beginning with the 1937-1938 ses sion. the Board of Trustees provid ed for the offering of a two-year Secretarial Science course in the School of Commerce. These courses are offered to meet the specific needs of young men and women who desire to prepare themselves for sienogiaphic, secretarial and of rice positions, and who cannot af ford to spend four years necessary for a college degree. As a result, the School of Commerce is now of fering two courses: A two year ourse for those who wish to spe ialize in vocational courses lead ing to a certificate In Secretarial Science, and a four-year course leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science In Commerce. This division 3f the School has grown by leaps and bounds since the first year of its inauguration and now requires the full time of three professors In Ihis division alone. The School of Comerce has a right to be extremely proud of the record if its graduates in the present Aorld war. A great majority of hem are now holding responsible -ommissions in the field of finance ind supply, for which they were horoughly trained during their our years at Carolina. These men aave made remarkable advances in ank and in positions of responsi 'ility and the whole U'niversity is justly proudl of the work they have ione.

A record of 25 years of service to :outng South Carolinians and a host af alumni in the state grateful to he University foi offering them a moodetrn education speaks well for he future of the School of Comn 'nerce In South Carolina.
