Ralph .l'ahnltc was elected chair» man of the student branch, while Raymond Geisler was chosen viccv chairman. The other elected of- ficers are Albert Wegger, secre— tary; Herbert Hansen, treasurer; and Daniel Brown and Ralph Jahnke representatives of the AS ME for the Western Society of Engineers. John Sauvage, retiring chair- man. urged all members to be present on Friday, May 23. The meeting is to he held in science hall at 10 am. All mechanical engineering grad. notes are eligible for junior mem bership in the society and can derive benefits and advantages by giayment of the ten dollar yearly ice. tlnginoers who wait several years after leaving school to join are assessed a ten dollar initiation fee in addition to the regular dues. The regular fee may be paid in quarter-annual installments. llllnois lnslllul‘e lfil it yuchliolull‘l ilthlo lb “lentil Mucollon Modernist Although there are. no students at lllinois institute who are met luring in education, the depart; ment is fully equipped to give stir dents proper training to meet the requirements of the State of illi— noie. In summer, courses in edu‘ cetionsl guidance, adolescent psy- chology and a number of other specialized courses are offered for teachers. The state certificate law in illi. hols requires at least sixteen 59 mentor hours in each of three touching fields, or 32 semester hours in one field and 10 in an- other. This takes the major part. oi" the time of the student who is preparing to teach. The law also requires at least if) semester hours in education. This requirement ac- counts for the majority of those cnwlleci in education classes, though there are a considerable number of students who take one or more courses in education for general training. There has been no attempt to add to the number of courses of- fered by the institute in the day school, for the interests and needs of the students are very similar. The courses olfered are those which seem to be the best fitted to prepare the student for on trance into teaching. In the eve- ing school there is a wider dif- ference in the needs of the stu~ dents, many of whom are already teaching, so that there is a wider variety of courses ollered. Pmciicc Teaching Required in Cool: county and in all of the surrounding states there is a requirement of practice teaching for certification. llllnols does not have this requirement as yet, but will probably include it soon. To meet the needs of the students, practice teaching has been pro- vided for the last three years. Dur- ing this time about ninety stu- dents have taken the work in ob— servation and practice teaching. Many of them feel that this first; hand experience has been of very great value in preparing them for their work. The practice teaching at Illinois institute is done in the city high schools through an arrangement with the superintendent’s office. Arrangements are made by Dr. Walker of the education depart- ment with the principal, who as- signs the students to a teacher, usually one of the best in the school. The student open 2; one hour or more per day with this teacher for one semester. lilo first observes the teacher’s method of managen‘icnt and teaching, assists in routine duties and such things its marking papers, and cventu» sally takes charge of the class him~ sell”, under the guidance of the teacher. Besides the direction and suggestions of the critic teacher, the student is visited by Dr. Walio or who makes suggestions for imv movement. Students have done practice teaching; in a number of the Chi- cago high. schools. The placement has been influenced by the conve— nience ot‘ the school for the stu- dent and by what school is doing work which fits the student best. Among the schools which have accepted students for practloe work are Amundsen, Austin, Crane. Kelly, Lindblom, Manley, Mei mil. McKinley, Phillips, Scnn and lit-”cilia. Placement, Bureau to AM This year the placement bureau of the lllinois Institute has been enlarged to include the placement of t tellers. This is a new under- taking. and it takes time to make such work effective. With the quality of students the institute is able to send out, it is expected that superintendents will get in the habit of sending their requests for teachers to the Institute. The bureau expects to place a number this year and any who want teach- ing positions should get in touch with the bureau at once. This applies to the seniors of this year and to former students. The question of a class in pri- mary flight training, under the Civil Aeronautics Authority, for the summer is not yet settled. The probabilities are that there will be such a class. Applications for the training should be left with Professor Wells at room 320, Chopin hall. He will be at his desk from 9 o’clock until 4, on lWednesdzly, Thursday, and Friday this week. Applications will also be received for the secondary (ad- vanced) course. Action of Ara mour College of Engineering in applying for a quota for pri- mary flight training will be do tut-mined by the number of up» plications received. n w memmlmmmmm WWWWWW l til Whfillh‘l‘it’ llllilhhb ill At the request of the Board of Education, Professor Lee F.
