Monmouth Normal Group I Accepts After Com mittee Reports OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, MONMOUTH, Ore. AUG. 22 (Special) -Complete acceptance of the new curriculum by the courses committee of : the Oregon Normal school at Monmouth at the final meeting Friday was the report given by Thos. N. Gen tle, chairman of this committee. Reconstructing the curriculum and re-evaluating the various cou rses of the normal school has been the task of this committee for the past year and it is now the belief of the committee that the new course which will be offered in September 1927 is one of the best offered in any teacher-training in stitution in the country. , The committee has adopted a curriculum sanctioned by Presi dent Landers wherein all, courses are to be handled from a function al standpoint due to the fact that a teacher-training institution is a vocational school -a fact which at no time should be lost to view. Courses which bear academic names or. otherwise appear not to deal directly with the teaching act should be pursued nevertheless with the purpose of securing ma terial with which the more ade quately to stimulate pupil respon ses in the teaching act. The Standard Course hereafter provided is one to be pursued by a student who has as a basis of general education that is equival ent at least to graduation from a standard four years high school curriculum.

The OFFICIAL ;,;.- - - f r .Fight Pictures Showing Every Round from Start to Finish! Come Along . n n n n woe iT, . - weeks of such standard course is basal for or required of all such students. The selection of a maj or curriculum will not occur un til the requirements of the first two terms have for the most part ben accomplished. '.Such major courses have been determine) with respect to the large divisions of the teaching service in the pub lic schol system and are: primary, Intermediate, grammar grades, junior high, rural, and the special subjects of music, drawing, com merce and physical education. The last four majors will re quire 112 term hours of work for their completion. The briefer th residence of the student upon the campus of the teacher-training in stitution, the greater the vocation al stress which will be placed up on his work. Special emphasis wifl hereafter be placed only upon the specific subject matter, activities, and equipment which finds the largest place in the progress of the grades of the public school for which the institution directly prepared teach ers. Subject-matter courses offered will be more than just grammar schooj reviews and will be placed upon a high level of treatment which will include (a) the reasons why any given subject occurs in an educational theme, (b) its re lation to other subject matter of a more advanced type, (c) Its his torical development and (d) Its organization for purposes of elem entary instruction. It was the report of the com mittee that such a treatment as the above will give a distinctly professional trend of a high order to the work of the normal as a teacher-training institution and make its work as worthy in a scheme of education as the cur rent traditional treatments of sim ilar subjects in colleges and uni versities. The various courses will be or ganized about the work of teach ing as a center. Upon this basis the department of training be comes the central department of the institution. Hereafter practice teaching by the students in the Normal will be required at a point during their residence where thev have gained adequate prepartion to make such work effective and yet leave sufficient time in whieh to pursue more advanced study of educational problems based in some degree upon the experience gained through practice teaching. Therefore, a student will he re quired to center his entire atten tion and effort upon thi3 period of practice teaching, which will occur in the fifth term of his res idence, in a very intense fashion for all day sessions throughout a period of 12 weeks. During this period he will be relieved of ev ery activity, excepting that of tea ching, observing, conferences, and research work upon problems sug gested by such work. No electives will be offered dur ing the first 24 weeks of the new Standard course, other than the usual alternates, but in three of the remaining terms 14 hours of elective privileges, of 31 term hours will be possible. It was found advisable to con centrate the special professional work around three or more cen ters under the name of majors. The subjects offered in these cen ters will be treated for the angles of: the objectives; the method: the psychology: the historv: and diagnostic and remedial work. From these centers a student will involve the various ooints Into a typical daily room-schedule. In order to prevent the unfit from entering upon anr of the courses preparing, for the teach ing profession a program has been arranged whereby measures of el imination of such students will occur at the very earliest possible moment in his residence. Continued on Galley 2. uniciai grades achieved bv members of the student, body of the Normal School will be obtain ed from an objective type of exam ination. A committee on examina tions will be selected to scrutinizo the proposed finals in any course. The new course of study has been devised after a careful lob- analysis of the work a teacher has to do in a typical schoolroom, and no subject will hereafter be offer ed for the student's pursuit which has not been put there after a careful investigation of the teach. er'g work in a real public school situation. In addition to such courses, a few are offered that look forward Into the educational future. Members of the committee are: Thos. H. Gentle, chairman,' Kath arine Arbuthnot, Alabama Bren ton, Edna MIngus, Laura Taylor, 'Ai Cv Stanbrough, J. p. Santee and E. A. Rozeboom.
